The Holy Metropolis of Mesogea and Lavreotiki, located east of Athens proper, this Holy Week issued an encyclical on the welcoming of the Holy Light from Jerusalem. The Holy Light will again be conveyed to Greece this year by plane from the Holy City, and specifically with the aircraft landing at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport of Athens, where it will be received by a delegation of clerics from the resident Metropolis.
The Pemptousia platform throughout this entire Holy Week will live-stream all services from the St. George Cathedral, in the Papagos district of east Athens. The Greek Byzantine Choir, under the direction Georgios Konstantinou, will perform the chants and psaltic complement.
