The Society for Hellenism and Philhellenism (SHP) as Gold Sponsor in Messolonghi

 

The Society for Hellenism and Philhellenism (SHP) and the Philhellenism Museum participate in the events of the 200th anniversary of the Exodus of Messolonghi by supporting important activities as Gold Sponsors.

In the context of this historical bicentenary, the SHP erected and delivered to the Municipality of the Sacred City of Messolonghi the emblematic Philhellenes’ Monument, on which the names of 344 important Philhellenes are engraved. Many of those people were active in Messolonghi battles, while others of them sacrificed their own lives during the Exodus for the liberation of Greece.

During the three-day events held on April 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2026, the SHP and the Philhellenism Museum:
– participated with speeches and presentations in the tribute “Messolonghi honours the countries of the Philhellenes”, with the honoured country being France, that took place on Friday, April 3rd, 2026 at the Trikoupio Cultural Center of Messolonghi
– they proceeded to lay a wreath at the Garden of Heroes
– with the group of 8 Philhellenes’ revivalists of the Philhellenism Museum, participated in the official Procession from the Metropolitan Church of Saint Spyridon to the Garden of Heroes on the evening of the Lazarus Saturday and the morning of Palm Sunday, April 4th and 5th, 2026 respectively.

The SHP, actively supporting the extroversion actions of the Municipality of the Sacred City of Messolonghi and the promotion of the city as a symbol of freedom serving the values of our culture, will soon announce more activities that will follow until the end of the year in Messolonghi and in Athens as well.

With our warm compliments to the Municipality of the Sacred City of Messolonghi, Mayor Spyros Diamantopoulos and the municipality’s associates for the exceptional organisation of the events that, in a climate of emotion and pride, united the residents and visitors of a city that will remind us for centuries why it was characterised as Sacred, constituting the most glorious little threshing ground of Greece!
