The book by Dimitris Ferousis FATHER NIKOLAS PLANAS, in its seventh revised edition with new material from the Apostolic Diakonia, narrates in a vivid and comprehensive manner the rich biography of a good shepherd who lived, acted, and passed away during the very difficult years of the Athenian adventure from 1851 to 1932.
It recounts his childhood years in Naxos. It captures the atmosphere and spirit of the era. And it follows him through his maturity in Athens, amidst harsh contrasts, confusion, and many dead ends, based on long-term research of historical data.
Pure, humble, and unassuming, Father Nikolaos Planas represented, like Alexandros Papadiamantis, a spiritual challenge for his time. Because he managed, along with a minority of Christians, humble beings, to keep the flame of faith and tradition alive, and he is a tremendous contribution to the preservation of Hellenism and Orthodoxy in the ancient city.
