On Easter Sunday, May 2, 2021, Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium presided over the Vespers of Love at the Holy Metropolitan Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Brussels, in compliance with all the COVID-19 restrictive measures.
The Vespers of Love was performed behind closed doors with the minimum participation of believers, while the Gospel Reading this year, unlike previous years which was read in many languages, was heard in Greek and only in local languages, namely French, Flemish, and German.
At the end of Vespers, Metropolitan Athenagoras wished the faithful and thanked the priests of the Holy Metropolis for the pastoral work they perform in the parishes with the significant help of their associates. The Metropolitan then distributed the Easter eggs to the few present.
