Archbishop Elpidophoros of America led the first in a series of daily prayers for those faithful of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America who have either passed away or are suffering from complications related to the coronavirus COVID-19.
The service, conducted in the Chapel of Saint Paul at the Archdiocesan Headquarters in New York City, was streamed live to social media outlets. Just a day before, Archbishop asked the faithful online to submit names of departed faithful and of those who are in need of healing from the devastating impact of COVID-19.
These prayers will continue to be read daily and live streamed to the faithful for the duration of this pandemic crisis.
To submit names of those departed due to COVID-19 or those currently suffering from it, please fill out the submission form at https://bit.ly/covid19-
