The Protosyggellos of the Holy Metropolis of Constantia, Famagusta, Archimandrite Augustinos Kkaras, expressed his pain through his account on Social Media, about what it is like for churches to function without people. On the occasion of today's Divine Liturgy for the Sunday of the Crucifixion in Agios Panteleimon of Paralimni, he characterized the divine liturgy as "Papadiamantiki" as "ten souls" were inside.
On the other hand, he expressed his joy because he did not see the world of the absent, but he saw them mentally sitting there in their stalls and he mentioned them one by one.
This is the post of Archimandrite Augustine Kkara:
“Sunday of the Crucifixion, Divine Liturgy at St. Panteleimon of Paralimni Παπα Papadiamantiki Operation ψυ Ten Souls… It is a great pain to work in an empty church… But we lift this grief, this cross for your own good… But a strange feeling… joy in me… Why I didn't see you absent… I saw you in your stalls, in your place where you usually stand in the church… I saw you in your house with your family "at home church"… And I mentioned you one by one in the service… And in p My osefchi despite my imperfection and sinfulness, with soul fervor say: Everybody Present my Lord and my God! ... Send us Thy Blessing ... our deliverance from this evil ... Amen !!! "
