Despite a plea by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for Church authorities to set an example during a crisis that has killed more than 5,000 in Greece, worshippers attended morning services, although limits were placed on the number allowed into churches at one time.
Police patrolled outside a number of churches but said they would not interfere with services and would use “mild” measures to persuade people not to crowd inside. On Sunday, authorities extended public lockdown measures, effectively withdrawing permission which had been granted previously to hold Epiphany services with a maximum of 50 people in attendance in large churches and 25 in smaller ones.
On Monday, in a rare show of dissent, Synod leaders wrote to the government to say there was no justification for preventing Epiphany services. Until now, the Church has largely respected curbs on religious services to limit the spread of COVID-19.
KOOKS
It doesn't matter that thesepriests getsick&die becauseof theirstubborn lack of precaution.But thefact that thisreligion has seranomies intertwined with theppl will cause thisdisease tospread among innocent ppl.Then how will theseclerics accountfor thegod they claim tobelieve in?

I think we should follow the law god gave us brain to think that was his gift to us and it is my name day today but I don’t think we should hold services today
Greek Orthodox church has been a plague for the greek society for centuries
The real disciples don’t worship idols. They sing hymns of hallelujah all day and all night during worship like they do here. These monks are legit and they’re faithful unlike the Vatican who’s a self serving bank of child prostitution and human trafficking.
SnekTheRedSun Divine Liturgy and Holy Communion are essential.
Absolute chads
Christian means Christlike, could you see Jesus putting people’s lives at risk for a ceremony, nope , he must be angry that they are doing this in his name😩

Fake news . The leadership of Orthodox church had to advise all to keep the orders or government . Very few had not to do that
Πως νιώθετε kmitsotakis PrimeministerGR STsiodras που γίνεστε ΠΑΛΙ διεθνώς ρεζίλι επειδή δε μπορείτε να μαζέψετε τους παπάδες
KALA KANOUME !we have faith!if God is with us who is against us!
There is an extreme right-wing government in Greece. The shame of Europe.
So true! No law, orders The Greek Orthodox Church which runs its own deep state branch in Greece.They are marred by consecutive scandals of the moneylaundering and illicit gold flows ...they fraternise and sponsor common criminals . You name it they do it! ...
Religion doing what it does best. Being completely worthless and counterproductive.
The division in society as one may see in the comments, is the most dangerous setup.
This post may make atheists believe the holders of truth but this piece of news is exaggerated. What I saw was different Great order where Epiphany was celebrated ALL measures in place. Going to a Super Market maybe more dangerous by attending an open space Epiphany celebrations

Religious nonsense
It isn’t just a Greek issue. Let’s not forget, the US Supreme Court overturned New York governor’s pandemic orders restricting religious gatherings . We have our problems and issues here in the US is well with these so-called religious gatherings.
Religious Darwinism, oh the Irony.
