A century ago on the Greek island of Symi residents there erected a church in honor of the Holy Martyr Helikonida in their cemetery, which apparently reflected her popular veneration on the island, since one can observe various icons of her scattered throughout the island and female residents can be found who are named after her. For this reason, in order to celebrate the Holy Martyr properly, Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Symi commissioned from the hymnographer Metropolitan Kyrillos of Rhodes to compose a Service of Praise in her honor to be used on her feast day, which is May 28th. This Service was first used by Metropolitan Chrysostomos in 2023.
