Every year, on July 16-17, the Holy Church of Saint Marina in Nei Pori comes alive with devotion and festivity as it celebrates its annual feast day. From early morning until late at night, a series of sacred services and divine liturgies take place, drawing in a multitude of pilgrims and visitors from all over Pieria, Central Macedonia, Thessaly and even abroad.

A Pilgrimage of Faith & Unity
Thousands of worshippers gather at Saint Marina Church, eager to participate in this grand celebration. To accommodate the large number of faithful, the Holy Metropolis ensures multiple services throughout both days, minimizing overcrowding and allowing everyone to take part in the divine experience.

A Festival of Music, Tradition & Greek Culture
Beyond the religious aspect, the feast of Saint Marina is also a cultural celebration. Each year, following the church services, the courtyard transforms into a vibrant festival featuring performances by Church Polyphonic Choirs from Greece, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria.

Visitors can also explore a lively open-air market, where vendors showcase a variety of authentic Greek handmade products, including:
✔ Farsala Halva.
