October 28, 2026 · 1 min read

Memory, unity and hope was wished by the Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, Mr. Hieronymus from Thessaloniki immediately after the end of the great military parade. "My wish is that we have memory for those who fought and sacrificed for our freedom. Unity because this has been the great strength of the Greek people in the most difficult moments of its history. Hope, because the message of October 28th does not belong only to the past but above all to the future that we must build especially for our children. I wish wholeheartedly that we honor the past with memory, face the present with unity and look to the future with hope. Happy birthday and blessings to everyone", said the Archbishop.
