«All these are sad facts and show the side of misery that is not only in the Turkey, it's here too. This is only addressed when we decide to become more serious and to delve deeper into the meaning of life.» The above was stated by Archbishop Hieronymos, asked to comment on the fact that last week the Holy Monastery of Panagia Soumela in Ponto was used as a backdrop by a thirty-member group of dancers, sound and video technicians in a music video, in which they are seen singing and dancing to the sound of the bell.
He made this statement in the afternoon after the opening of the exhibition «For Faith and Country - The Church's Contribution to the Struggle of 1821», which is organised by the Special Synodal Committee of the Academy of Ecclesiastical Arts of the Church of Greece, in cooperation with the Byzantine and Christian Museum.
