Today is St Andrew’s day according to the Greek Orthodox church and he is the patron saint of the city of Patras.
The Cathedral of St. Andrew in Patras is a Greek Orthodox basilica, built on the west side of the city. The construction of the cathedral started in the early 20th century and was inaugurated 66 years later. Unfortunately, today, worshipers are banned from entering the church, due to the coronavirus, much to their dismay.
A year ago, no one could possibly imagine that such peculiar
and frightening events would be taking place in our country. That we should not be allowed to see your beloved family and friends, wear masks indoors and outdoors, keep distances, stay at home and, generally, strictly obey doctors in order to be healthy and safe.
A few words to express my deep admiration and gratitude for the doctors,, nurses and medical staff who risk their own lives while caring for and protecting their patients with COVID -19. Also, our sincere condolences to all who have lost their loved ones and our best wishes to all patients for a speedy recovery.
Happy name day for all Andrews and Andtiannas!
