By Constantine Cavarnos

Volume 1 of Modern Orthodox Saints

“St. Cosmas Aitolos is undoubtedly the greatest missionary of modern Greece, and may with good reason be called the father of the modern Greek nation. He played a role of supreme importance in the moral and religious awakening and enlightenment of the Greeks during the second half of the eighteenth century, and thus more than anyone else inaugurated the modern Greek era.”
