Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, the patron saint of the city of Athens, is also known as the protector of judges and the judiciary. The Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast Day of Saint Dionysius on October 3rd. The Orthodox Church honors his memory on October 3 every year, while the Catholic Church does so on October 9. The Catholic Cathedral of Athens is dedicated to Saint Dionysius the Areopagite and an Orthodox church dedicated to his memory also still stands in Kolonaki, downtown Athens. The Orthodox church dedicated to the saint was consecrated 78 years later, in 1931, after eight years of construction.
