On the afternoon of Thursday, December 18, 2025, the 6th consecutive meeting with the Catechumens and newly illumined faithful took place at the premises of the Saint George Cathedral of Stockholm.
Earlier that day, His Eminence Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden and All Scandinavia met with the newly elected President of the Pan-Epirote Brotherhood of Stockholm, Mr. Georgios Mokos, who was accompanied by his son Panagiotis.

During this meeting, Mr. Mokos requested and received the archpastoral blessings of the Metropolitan, paid his respects, and expressed the intention of the Brotherhood to remain steadfastly devoted to the sacred traditions and values of the Hellenic Homeland and Nation. The traditional festive sweets that he offered were subsequently distributed to the Catechumens.

During the meeting with the Catechumens, Metropolitan Cleopas analyzed his recently published article entitled “Sleep little angel of mine – Lullaby” («Κοιμήσου αγγελούδι μου, γλυκά με το τραγούδι μου»), expounded on the theology of the Incarnation of the Son and Word of God, and responded to questions from the ever-increasing number of Catechumens, who exceeded 60 participants on site and 30 online.
At the conclusion of the meeting, as previously announced, Metropolitan Cleopas distributed catechetical material in English and Greek to those present. This material was kindly offered, on behalf of the organization “Agape Hellas” by Mr. Emmanouil Toufexis and bears the title “Getting to Know Jesus Christ Better” («Βαθύτερη γνωριμία με τον Ιησού Χριστό»).

After the exchange of festive greetings ahead of the celebrations of the Holy Twelve Days of Christmas, the next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. (Swedish time).
