An emergency online meeting of the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece on Monday ended with a decision to withhold consent from the government’s decision for stricter restrictive measures during Epiphany than those that applied on the Christmas and New Year holidays, including a ban on the public’s attendance of church services for the blessing of the waters, ANA reports.
The church’s leadership has instead insisted on the initial agreement made with the state, which allowed churches to open on high holidays.
