“I would like to reiterate that, following coordinated actions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Aegeans Airlines offering of its services, the Holy Light will be transported from Jerusalem to Athens on the afternoon of Holy Saturday. From the airport, it will be transported only to the Exarchate of the Holy Sepulchre, where it will be tended. I stress that, in the context of the measures against the coronavirus pandemic, it will not be transported to other parishes or be distributed to the faithful, as the relevant lockdown measures are in effect.”
