A vibrant Tsiknopempti celebration took place last week at the Archdiocesan Church of Our Lady “Axion Estin” in the Greek Orthodox Diocese of Chora, organised by the Central Youth.
The event, marked by joy and enthusiasm, fostered a sense of community and connection to Greek traditions through food, music and fellowship.
Children and youth from the Greek community actively participated, showcasing their strong ties to their heritage.

The event was honoured by the presence of His Grace Bishop Evmenios of Chora, who addressed the gathering with warm greetings from His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.
“You are the present and the future of our Church. With your vitality, participation, and interest in tradition and faith, you give us all hope and strength,” His Grace told the youth, emphasising their importance to the Church.
The celebration concluded with well wishes for a blessed Lent and the anticipation of future youth initiatives that will continue to strengthen both the spiritual life and cultural identity of the Greek community.
