All of this is not true; the honoring of Saint Cosmas as a local saint began in the XVIII century, in all those areas where he made an extraordinary contribution to awaken the oppressed conscience of the Orthodox people from the long night of Ottoman rule, evidently halting the Islamization of these regions. This is proven by the consciousness of the Albanian Orthodox people, by the frescoes and icons, the ecclesiastical service for the saint, his monastery built with the care of Ali Pash\u00eb Tepelena (1814-1815) and above all, it is proven by the great honor accorded to him by all of the people, even those that are not Orthodox, wherever he preached.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Proof of this honor prior to 1961, which refutes that which is claimed by the anti-Orthodox people, among many others, is what was written and published by two of the greatest personalities of our Church: Bishop Theofan Noli and the first canonical Archbishop, His Beatitude Kristofor Kisi.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bishop Theofan Noli in 1947, in Boston, published the book, \u201cKremtorja\u201d (The Feasts) of the Orthodox Church. In his introduction he says: &#8220;The translation &#8230; we made from Greek, with the exception of the hymns of St. Cosmas of Berat, which we paraphrased from the Albanian version by His Beatitude, Kristofor Kisi, Archbishop of Albania&#8221;. And on pages 754-763 gives the Church service for this saint.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, Bishop Theophan Noli, in 1947 (which is before 1961) calls him Saint Cosmas of Berat and the service of the saint is taken from a 1931 edition of Bishop Kristofor Kisi, who has written much about St. Cosmas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, for Bishop Theofan Noli and for His Beatitude, Kristofor Kisi, Saint Comas of Berat was not an anti-Albanian, nor \u201cnot a saint\u201d, as the anti-Orthodox gentry has been trumpeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;
