"The goal is not to have a Greek family this Easter, which does not already have the necessary food for these holy days that we will celebrate."
The announcement also refers to a relevant circular of the Archbishop of Cyprus, Chrysostom II, which will be read next Sunday, where - among other things - he notes that the news for school children, the homeless, the unemployed, the elderly and retirees, who find it difficult to secure their daily food are really shocking.
"Admittedly, we are facing a great national tragedy, similar to which Greece did not live after the years of the German Occupation. And, as you understand, as a Church and as a Cypriot Hellenism we cannot, and it is not possible, to stand indifferent and apathetic. On the contrary, we have a Christian, but at the same time a national duty, to show, once again, our practical love for our motherland, which is being tested hard today, and to offer our wholehearted help and support to our suffering Greek brothers ".
The Archbishop, according to the circular, finally clarifies that the total proceeds of the fundraiser will be used to purchase food that will be sent to support the meals of the Archdiocese of Athens and other Dioceses.
