In his birthplace, Kokkinohori Kavala, the funeral and burial of Vasilis Karras, the great folk singer whose death moved the whole of Greece, will take place on Wednesday 27/12, at 12 noon.

Before the funeral, according to an announcement on his official Facebook page, the body of Vassilis Karras will be placed in public pilgrimage tomorrow, Tuesday 26/12 at the Holy Church of Agia Sophia in Thessaloniki from 09:00 to 13:00 pm

It is the family’s wish that instead of wreaths, support be given to the Flogas children’s association.

“Tonight on the evening of December 24, 2024, Christmas Eve, our beloved Vassilis Karras left us forever. From today, the artist we all adored will be in the company of other greats, with Stratos, Stelios, Rita, Nikos Papazoglou, Dimitris Mitropanos… even with Pantelis!” the Facebook post says.

“He fought it very bravely being fully aware of his condition from the first moment! Vassilis Karras may be gone, but he’s still here…! It will always be here!!! Through his songs and the memories we built all these years! We made the best trips with him and we will always make them with him!” the administrators of the website write.
