On Tuesday, January 9, Priest Emmanuel Hatzidakis (diocesan cleric) reposed in the Lord in Chania, Crete, Greece. He was 82 years old. In 2019, he was received iinto ROCOR by Metropolitan Hilarion (Kapral; +2022) of blessed memory.

Fr. Emmanuel had moved back to Crete with Presbytera Barbara and their son Anthony about one year prior to his repose after living for over 50 years in the United States.

Memory Eternal to the newly reposed Priest Emmanuel!
