Last Pic of Violakis





Georgios Violakis
Γεώργιος Βιολάκης
Άρχων Πρωτοψάλτης της Μεγάλης Εκκλησίας
Archon Protopsaltis of the Great Church.

This is probably the last picture of Violakis (as far as I have been able to ascertain) taken sometime before his death in 1911. I suspect that pictures exist in the archives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate or in personal collections that depict Violakis but I have not been fortunate enough to corroborate this.

This scanned image is courtesy of Sifniaka Nea,
Σιφνιακά Νέα, 1911.

Imerologion of the Ecumenical Patriarchate

The official website of the Ecumenical Patriarchate www.ec-patr.org includes an online version of the annual "ΗΜΕΡΟΛΟΓΙΟΝ" (Calendar), which is published by the Patriarchate and applies the Typikon to the present calendar year.

Click here for the 2011 ΗΜΕΡΟΛΟΓΙΟΝ of the Ecumenical Patriarchate

Site content is in both Greek and English, but the ΗΜΕΡΟΛΟΓΙΟΝ is only available in Greek.

The English section of the website has limited content, mostly addresses and encyclicals, but there are some good links to other Autocephalus Orthodox Churches, Eparchies of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and different Institutions.
