Stanley Markantonis ADDENDUM In 1926, the political struggle in Greece between the royalists and the republicans, as well as the ecclesiastical controversy over the old and new church calendars, led to a split in the community. A dissident group of republican/new calendarists established a new parish dedicated to the Holy Transfiguration. The priests who served this parish were: Rev. Astergios Papastergiou 1926 Rev. Efstathios Georgiades 1927 Rev. Artemios Artemiou 1928 Rev. Gregory Melonadakis 1929 Rev. George Economides 1930 In 1930, the parishes voted to re-unite, and the Rev. George Economides, then pastor of Holy Transfiguration, was appointed pastor of the newly unified parish of St. Vasilios.
