The unjust and unprovoked war in Ukraine gives even greater intensity to our mourning on Good Friday, President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou said in an message on Facebook.
“Every Good Friday, our tradition says, the sky weeps. Nature participates in the anguish of the Divine Passion, creation mourns. And every Christian experiences, at the height of the Divine Drama, the introspection and their own spiritual and personal reference to grief, even if at the end of this course there is the dim glow of the life-giving Resurrection. This year, however, the unjust and unprovoked war raging so close to us gives greater intensity to our mourning. The indomitable Ukrainian people carry their own cross and fight heroically for all of us, for the high ideals that make up and hold together our societies, giving meaning to our individual and collective life. Within the joy and sadness of the Week of Passions arises the experience of fighting courage, the deep conviction and our faith in the final triumph of good,” Sakellaropoulou said, ending with a quote from the poet Dionysios Solomos and noting that all look to this “bright light of peace and hope”.
