On Monday, January 19, 2026, the memory of Saint Macarius the Egyptian will be honored, to whom the OAC has dedicated a chapel (Seat) on the rocks north of the Foundation.

The Vespers of the Feast will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., in the chapel of Abba Macarius, at the OAC.
(In case of adverse weather conditions, Vespers will be held at the Holy Patriarchal and Stavropegic Monastery of Gonia).

On the morning of Monday, January 19, 2026, Matins and the Divine Liturgy will be held at the adjacent Holy Patriarchal and Stavropegic Monastery of Gonia, after the breaking of bread.

The LOGOS and ART program, which the Academy has been developing internationally for years, is based on a narrative by Saint Macarius with powerful spiritual messages about human communication and the existence of man as “Person to Person.” More than 350 works by artists from all continents have already been donated and are on display at the OAC. It is important in these difficult times that we are going through as Greece and as Europe, but also as humanity, to rediscover the true meaning of human relationships, which are based on our “face to face” society.
