Blessing for new academic year at ethnic Greek community school on Prinkipo

A blessing ceremony officiated by the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s Elder Metropolitan Geron, was held last week on the occasion of the new academic year for the tiny but resilient ethnic Greek community on the Marmara Sea Isle of Prinkipo, one of the Princes Islands.
Greece’s Deputy Education and Religious Affairs Minister, Zeta Makri, was also on hand for the ceremony. Three pupils attend the ethnic Greek community school on the small isle.
