In Greece, the cathedrals of the metropolitanates will be opened only for three main holidays: the Triumph of Orthodoxy, the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos and the Annunciation. At the same time, priests and singers will be allowed into churches if they have a vaccination certificate or a negative express test for coronavirus, romfea.gr reports.

As the UOJ previously reported, in Greece, a priest interrupted the liturgy and called the police because people were not wearing masks.
