Lighthouse of the World

Greece

The “Faros tou Kosmou” (Lighthouse of the World) and its activities began in 2004 when father Athenagoras Lukataris was found in Dendropotamos. He describes the course in a few words. “The Faros (Lighthouse) began completely unexpectedly. I had in mind to come down to Africa, which was my childhoods dream. From the age of 6-7 I knew I wanted to become a priest and go to a mission. When the time came, I finished the army, I was ordained and told the Metropolitan of Neapolis and Stavropoleos, Mr. Barnabas, who knew my dream that it was time to have a first contact with Africa, telling me you do not have to go anywhere, we have here Africa too, go to Dendropotamos to see what you’re going to do. “
