The Ecumenical Patriarchate also participated this year in the international initiative of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), “Earth Hour 2022”.
In this context, on Saturday night, at 20:30 and for one hour, the external lighting of the Patriarchal House and the Patriarchal Church at the Phanar was switched off, in a symbolic move to raise awareness of the need to protect the natural environment and natural resources, as well as to tackle the phenomenon of climate change.
