story

[edit]

Saint Gerasimos Palladas, born in 1633 in the village of Skillous in Pediados, Crete, hailed from noble and devout parents. His father, Theodoros, served as the Protopriest and Preacher in Handaka, and one of his sermons delivered in 1633 in honor of the Ten Holy Martyrs of Crete is still extant. Gerasimos received his initial education from his father and later pursued further studies in Kerkyra and Venice, becoming proficient in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew.

Upon returning to Greece, Gerasimos was unable to access Crete, which had come under Turkish rule. As a result, he engaged in teaching and preaching in various regions, including the Peloponnese, Ioannina, Arta, and Paramythia. His elevation to Metropolitan of Kastoria remains undocumented, but during this period, he became known for his wisdom and holiness as a teacher. In May 1686, he was appointed Metropolitan of Adrianople, where he gained recognition for his intellect and leadership.

On July 25, 1688, Gerasimos was elected as the Patriarch of Alexandria, succeeding Patriarch Parthenios (1678-1688), who had perished in an earthquake in Smyrna. His primary focus as Patriarch was the dissemination of the divine word, and many of his written homilies continue to survive. Facing significant debts within the Patriarchate, he traveled to Romania and Russia to raise funds, where he was received with honor and presented with generous gifts, leading to the establishment of Dependencies of the Patriarchate in those regions.
