The situation is evolving into a nightmare from the fronts of the fires that are raging for the third day in many areas of Greece.
The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew expressed the support of the Mother Church and Himself personally to the Greek people affected by the fires in a message that was sent to the Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The Ecumenical Patriarch stressed in his message: “We express to the whole of the Greek Territory the fervent maternal wishes of the Holy Church of Jesus Christ.
May God, through the intercessions of the Most Holy Mother of God, save the clergy, the people, and the natural environment, for the most intense protection of which let us all strive as co-responsible for its protection.”
