Archbishop says Church will follow restrictions ‘to the letter’

Archbishop Chrysostomos on Thursday gave reassurance that the Church would make sure that all measures aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus would be followed to the letter during the Easter holidays.

The Church primate was received by President Nicos Anastasiades at the presidential palace earlier on Thursday where the latter briefed the archbishop on the new measures decided by cabinet to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, also ahead of the Easter holidays, government spokesman Kyriacos Kousios said after the meeting.

“The archbishop reassured the president that the Church would make sure of the full implementation of the measures, to curb the spread of the coronavirus,” Kousios said in a written statement.

He also said that they agreed that the Church was to decide in which churches the Holy Week services would be carried out without a congregation present.

Am I being cynical or does anyone believe this? Let's see how many bonfires we see or how many 'fire crackers' are set off

DIDN'T take long to break the rules

His birthday was celebrated with high priests and monks in the Apostolos Varnavas chapel within the archbishopric.
