Police and doctors have never seen, for decades, a child so badly abused, especially at such a young age!

Little Angelos was badly abused by his mother and her partner in Therisos, Iraklio, and was discovered, following a neighbor’s call for emergency assistance. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors discovered a large subdural hematoma, and the child was rushed into surgery to relieve the pressure. Examinations revealed large subdural hematoma and multiple injuries, including bruises, contusions and burns in various stages of healing, suggesting prolonged abuse. Memory Eternal, our little Angel! Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

My little Angel

My little angel, soul so pure,

How did you suffer such a wound?

Cruel arms, meant to embrace you,

Offered you pain,

Sorrow and death.

A star in dark night your heart, 

The earth cried, the heaven moved,

Christ stood at the door

And took you in His arms.

Your body may rest here,

But your soul is now 

Joyfully  running in roads of Light.

At the feet of God, with radiant eyes, 

Your laughter lights a new dawn.

 The Theotokos took you in her arms, 

“Come my child, here there is no shadow”.

Angels chant in the deep blue

“Welcome, little one, to Paradise.”

Clouds have become a gentle crib,

Stars lull you to sleep

Fear not, dear one, sleep with no fear, 

No malice here can reach you.

On earth, the trees are still crying 

Rocks break, shadows watch you,

But your soul feels no pain any longer, 

Flies free, like spring snow.

The Theotokos is kissing you on the forehead,

“You will become the sign for every orphan”.

Christ is dressing you with light,

“Live now in peace”. Come,

Enjoy rewards and crowns I have prepared for you.

The moon is holding you in her arms.

Every night from now on,

You will speak secretly to the stars,

Whisper mystically to all who suffer

“Fear not, there is Light here”

Memory Eternal, Little Angel,

Forget us not weary sojourners

Angel of light, flying over wide meadows

Little flower that blossomed in rain

Bring His Life to all child victims.

By an Elder in Attiki, Ad.
