At the church of St Demetrius Monastery in Qeparo, in the Himara area, Metropolitan Nathanail of Gjirokastër performed a service of consecration. A Divine Liturgy followed, with faithful attending from across the area. The gathering therefore included two named services in sequence, both at the monastery church in the village of Qeparo. For readers unfamiliar with the terms, the report distinguishes the consecration service from the Divine Liturgy that came afterward, without treating them as one event. Later that afternoon, Nathanail visited the grave of his predecessor, Metropolitan Dhimitër, and held a memorial service there. The day’s observances thus moved from the church gathering to a separate act of remembrance at the predecessor’s grave. The account identifies the people involved, the setting, and the order of the services: Nathanail led the consecration, faithful from the area attended the liturgy, and the memorial took place later in the day.
