Greece’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Greeks Abroad sends message for Orthodox Easter

·

Greece’s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister for Greeks Abroad, Ioannis Michail Loverdos, has issued a message to Australia’s Greek diaspora ahead of Orthodox Easter.

Full message in English:

Dear compatriots,

Holy Pascha is the greatest celebration of Christianity and the most sacred moment in the Greek Orthodox tradition. For us Greeks, faith in the Resurrection of Christ signifies salvation, renewal, and life itself. For this reason, wherever we may be—across all corners of the earth—we celebrate Easter with splendour.

The message of the Resurrection resonates even more powerfully and reaches the entire world thanks to you, the Greeks of the diaspora, who, even while experiencing these Holy Days far from the homeland, carry Greece deep within you. You preserve our customs and traditions, promote our language, and keep alive our Greek Orthodox heritage.

The radiant Resurrection of our Lord is an inexhaustible source of hope and unity for Hellenism and all Greeks, spreading the message of life’s triumph across the globe.

I wish that the light of the Resurrection shines in all our hearts and fills us with strength and optimism.

Christ is Risen! Wishing you and your families good health, joy, and prosperity. Happy Easter!
