Saint Dionysius of Zakynthos (1547 - 17 December 1622) is a saint of the Eastern Orthodox Church. He lived and worked in Zakynthos from the middle of the 16th century until the beginning of the 17th, and was also bishop of Aegina. Today it is one of the most popular modern saints and is a patron of the city of Zakynthos. Agios Dionysios was born in 1547 in Aigialos, that is, in the coastal zone of Zakynthos. His world-famous name was Gradynigos (often referred to - incorrectly - also as Draganigos) Sigure. His family was wealthy, with Western European ancestry and Catholic ancestry, and owned large tracts of land, while his parents took up an aristocratic role in the Venetian wars against the Turks. His father was Mucius and his mother Pavlina, while he had two other brothers, Constantine and Sigura. According to local traditions of Zakynthos, which are not historically confirmed, Agios Gerasimos was the contractor.From an early age, his family provided him with a Christian upbringing, and he also hired a teacher named Weatherman to impart to Gradynigus both knowledge of door-to-door education and "church letters." We do not know who his teachers were afterwards, but he certainly acquired a significant education, at least in the context of the time, since he had excellent command of the ancient Greek and Latin languages ​​in addition to Greek and Italian, and a rescued letter with commemorations on Gregory highlights the wide theological education he had...

Ο Ιερός Ναός του Αγίου Διονυσίου είναι ο μεγαλύτερος της πόλης και άρχισε να κατασκευάζεται το 1925. Εγκαινιάστηκε λίγα χρόνια πριν από τον καταστροφικό σεισμό του 1953 και αποτελεί ένα από τα τρία κτίρια του νησιού που δεν υπέστησαν καμία απολύτως ζημία, γεγονός που θεωρείται σημαδιακό από τους Ζακυνθινούς. Η εκκλησία του Αγίου Διονυσίου σε μέγεθος και ομορφιά θα σου θυμίσει καθεδρικό ναό. Ο εσωτερικός της χώρος είναι επιβλητικός, με εντυπωσιακό ξυλόγλυπτο τέμπλο, μαρμάρινες κολώνες, μεγάλους πολυελαίους, πλήθος Αγιογραφιών, μυρωδιές λιβανιού, βιτρό παράθυρα, κόκκινα βελούδινα καθίσματα και επίχρυσες λεπτομέρειες. Στο εσωτερικό βρίσκεται και η αίθουσα με το επιχρυσωμένο τέμπλο και την ασημένια σκαλισμένη λάρνακα όπου φυλάσσεται το σκήνωμα του Αγίου. Η λάρνακα συνήθως είναι κλειστή όμως κατά τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες και ανάλογα με την προσέλευση του κόσμου την ανοίγουν. Η εκκλησία δεσπόζει στο λιμάνι και το πυργοειδές καμπαναριό θυμίζει αυτό του Αγίου Μάρκου στη Βενετία. Το ύψος του ξεπερνά τα 40 μέτρα, αποτελεί το σήμα κατατεθέν της πόλης και πολλές φορές το φωτίζουν. Ο Άγιος Διονύσιος γεννήθηκε στη Ζάκυνθο το 1547 και ήταν γόνος αριστοκρατικής οικογένειας. Από μικρή ηλικία του παρείχαν χριστιανική ανατροφή, απέκτησε σημαντική μόρφωση, μιλούσε ελληνικά και ιταλικά και μπορούσε να χειριστεί άπταιστα τα αρχαία ελληνικά και τα λατινικά. Στην ηλικία των 20 χρόνων μετά το τέλος της ζωής των γονιών του, δωρίζει όλη του την περιουσία στον αδελφό του και αποφασίζει να ακολουθήσει το μοναχικό σχήμα. Διετέλεσε για ένα διάστημα επίσκοπος Αιγίνης και πέρασε τα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του στο Μοναστήρι της Θεοτόκου της Αναφωνήτριας (βλ. σελίδα.....) στη Ζάκυνθο όπου και εκοιμήθη σε ηλικία 75 ετών, στις 17 Δεκεμβρίου του 1622. Στην Μονή της Αναφωνήτριας ο Άγιος Διονύσιος είπε ψέματα για πρώτη φορά στη ζωή του για να κρύψει και να φυγαδεύσει τον φονιά του αδελφού του εξ' ου και το προσωνύμιο του Άγιος της Συγνώμης. Οι δύο λιτανείες του ιερού λειψάνου του Αγίου αποτελούν ίσως τα σημαντικότερα γεγονότα του νησιού. Στις 24 Αυγούστου γιορτάζεται η Μετακομιδή του Ιερού Σκηνώματος του Αγίου από τα νησιά Στροφάδες και ειδικότερα από την Μονή Στροφάδων, όπου ετάφη αρχικά σύμφωνα με την επιθυμία του. Κατά την ανακομιδή των λειψάνων του το σώμα του βρέθηκε άθικτο και μυροβόλο. Στη δεύτερη λιτανεία στις 17 Δεκεμβρίου τιμάται η μνήμη της κοιμήσεως του Αγίου Διονυσίου. Και στις δύο περιπτώσεις οι εορτασμοί είναι τριήμεροι δηλαδή από 23 ως 26 Αυγούστου και από 16 ως 19 Δεκεμβρίου αντιστοίχως. Θα δεις Ζακυνθινούς όλων των ηλικιών να τιμούν τον Άγιο τους, να προσκυνούν το σκήνωμα του και να γιορτάζουν στο πανηγύρι. Οι εορτασμοί αποτελούν πόλο έλξης για χιλιάδες πιστούς που κατακλύζουν το νησί και έρχονται και εκείνοι με τη σειρά τους για να προσκυνήσουν το σκήνωμα του Αγίου και να τιμήσουν τη...

Biserica Sfântul Dionysios este cea mai mare din oraș, iar construcția a început în 1925...a fost inaugurată cu câțiva ani înainte de cutremurul devastator din 1953 și este una dintre cele trei clădiri de pe insulă care nu au suferit nicio pagubă, fapt considerat semnificativ de locuitorii din Zakynthos...Biserica Sfântul Dionysios, prin dimensiuni și frumusețe, vă va aminti de o catedrală...interiorul său este impunător, cu o catapeteasmă impresionantă sculptată în lemn, coloane de marmură, candelabre mari, numeroase iconografii, parfum de tămâie, vitralii, scaune de catifea roșie și detalii aurite...în interior se află și camera cu catapeteasma aurită și altarul sculptat în argint, unde se păstrează moaștele Sfântului...altarul este de obicei închis în lunile de vară, dar este deschis în funcție de numărul de persoane...biserica domină portul, iar clopotnița asemănătoare unui turn amintește de cea a Bazilicii Sfântul Marcu din Veneția...înălțimea sa depășește 40 de metri, este marca orașului și este adesea iluminată...Sfântul Dionisie s-a născut în Zakynthos în 1547 și a fost urmașul unei familii aristocratice...de la o vârstă fragedă a primit o educație creștină, a dobândit o educație semnificativă, vorbea greacă și italiană și vorbea fluent greaca veche și latina...la vârsta de 20 de ani, după moartea părinților săi, și-a donat toate bunurile fratelui său și a decis să urmeze ordinul monahal...a slujit o vreme ca episcop al Eghinei și și-a petrecut ultimii ani din viață la Mănăstirea Maicii Domnului din Anafonitria din Zakynthos, unde a murit la vârsta de 75 de ani, pe 17 decembrie 1622...în Mănăstirea Anafonitria, Sfântul Dionisie a mințit pentru prima dată în viața sa pentru a-l ascunde și a-l trimite departe pe ucigașul fratelui său, de unde și porecla sa, Sfântul Iertării...cele două procesiuni cu sfintele moaște ale Sfântului sunt probabil cele mai importante evenimente de pe insulă...pe 24 august se sărbătorește Mutarea Sfintelor Moaște ale Sfântului din Insulele Strofades și mai precis de la Mănăstirea Strofades, unde a fost inițial înmormântat conform dorinței sale...în timpul mutării moaștelor sale, trupul său a fost găsit intact și înmiresmat...a doua procesiune, pe 17 decembrie, comemorează moartea Sfântului Dionisie...în ambele cazuri, sărbătorile durează trei zile, de la 23 la 26 august și, respectiv, de la 16 la 19 decembrie...veți vedea locuitori din Zakynthos de toate vârstele cinstindu-și Sfântul, venerând moaștele sale și sărbătorind la festival...sărbătorile sunt un magnet pentru mii de credincioși care inundă insula și vin la rândul lor să venereze moaștele Sfântului și să-i...

Beautiful Orthodox church decorated nearly fully from floor to ceiling. Nice heaven of calm to take a break from long walks on this beautiful island. Entrance is free and you can buy candles to light and make a wish.

A beautiful, wonderful orthodox church that is DEFINITELY worth visiting. Im a catholic and truly fell in love with this place, it is so known for the saint Dionysios casket (forgive me, dont know the actual word)! Wish i knew it earlier. The church definitely catches your attention, and it is emotional to pray there, even just for a bit. I have no regrets, and the people taking care of the church are also very respectful and kind. The man working with the candles was really polite and was truly trying his best to help me out if i had a question, even taught me some stuff about the praying of the candles. It was beautiful, could stay there all day, you dont have to pray anything, just for the candles if you want to. I felt safe :).
