The most unusual Christmas of recent decades is invited to be celebrated tomorrow by Christians in Greece, under the shadow of the pandemic.
A great bet for the parish priests is still the ordination that they must do among the faithful, since according to the Joint Ministerial Decision in the temples of the country it will be allowed to attend up to 25 believers, observing the proportion of one believer for every 15 t. while in metropolitan churches this number can reach up to 50 believers, as long as the square meters of their area allow it.
Several parishes have already informed the faithful who wish to attend the Divine Liturgy to register to know in advance who will have this opportunity, while other parishes, especially the larger ones, have stated that their doors will close as soon as the number allowed. .
To give as many believers as possible the opportunity to participate in the Divine Christmas Liturgy, many churches have scheduled two and three Divine Liturgies, but this will only be possible in parishes where there are a corresponding number of priests.
The instructions given by the Holy Synod in the local Dioceses are very strict, with the priests called to literally observe what the JMC offers to avoid problems.
However, in Drama, the temples will remain closed to the faithful, since according to the decision of Metropolitan Pablo the Divine Christmas Liturgy in the temples of the city will be held behind closed doors so that there are no problems of overcrowding, but also not to force the priests to Enter the process to choose who will enter and who will not. After the Divine Liturgy, the temples will open their doors so that those who wish can pray.
