Holy Church of St. Meletios – Spiritual Oasis in Limni Evia

In the heart of the picturesque small town of Limni Evia, at 25th March 22 Street, stands proud and solemn the Holy Church of Saint Meletios. This church is a point of reference for the residents and visitors of the area, as it combines spirituality, history and traditional architecture.

St. Meletios, Bishop of Antioch and an important figure of Orthodoxy, is honored with special respect in Limni. The parish has a long history and plays an important role in the religious and social life of the place. The church is an attraction both for local believers and for travellers seeking moments of devotion and tranquillity.

Architecture &  Sanctity

The building is characterized by traditional island architecture, combining stone, wood and tile with simple lines and respect for the environment. The interior of the church is bright and welcoming, with a beautiful wooden carved iconostasis, Byzantine style icons and an atmosphere that inspires calm and prayer.

The icon of St. Meletios, dominates the shrine of the church, while on the day of his feast (February 12), the church is filled with believers who honour his memory with masses, prayers and a procession of the icon through the streets of the lake.

Spiritual Work & Social Presence

The Holy Church of Saint Meletios is not only a place of worship but also a core of spiritual guidance and social outreach. The parish priest and the parish community organize throughout the year:

• Sunday school classes for children and teenagers

• Bible study circles for adults

• Food and essentials collection for families in need

• Charity fund and support for lonely people

The presence of the church in the lives of the residents is constant and supportive, especially in difficult times. Many residents consider it their ‘second home’, retreating there for spiritual rest, confession or a quiet moment of prayer.
