The declaration of the Metropolitan
As a human being, the pandemic and coronavirus did not exclude me, as it seems that it does not exclude anyone. But I’m sorry because they took advantage of this personal ordeal of mine, those who are always looking for reasons to turn against the Church, fight it and blame it for what is wrong in society.
I assure you, therefore, in the context of personal data, as well as I assure everyone of good will, that the coronavirus did not visit me in the Church of Agios Dimitrios in Thessaloniki, or in any other place of religious worship.
Therefore, I ask everyone to respect the personal test that the Lord allowed me and to stop taking advantage of this fact in the media. and Internet.
