The Appearance of Saint Theodosios the Cenobiarch in Rakantzi of Kefallonia


The evening before the feast of Saint Theodosios the Cenobiarch (Jan. 11), Father Gerasimos Fokas would celebrate his feast with a vigil and Divine Liturgy at night in Rakantzi of Kefallonia. One year it was a rainy and cold night, when few managed to attend this vigil, but they had a divine visitation. A pious woman noticed that Father Gerasimos was celebrating the Divine Liturgy with another priest that she did not know. When she later asked Father Gerasimos who this priest was, he confessed that it was Saint Theodosios.
