Many, if not all Athenians came to pray at the St-Elissaios church in Plaka during the time when two legends of modern Greek Letters, Alexandros Papadiamantis and Alexandros Moraitidis served as the chantors (protopsaltis and lampadarios, respectively). Moraitidis assumed the responsibility of first chanter upon Papadiamantis' passing in 1911, and remained at the church for 15 years. In 1925, he wrote and published his marvelous offering to the saint, entitled "Panegyric Service and Paracletic Canon to the Glorious Prophet and Saint, Elissaios".
