Hieronymos: vaccine is the only protection against coronavirus

Archbishop Ieronimos of Athens emphasized pandemic and vaccination in his message to the unvaccinated after the Epiphany service.

Immediately after the great consecrated Mass held in the Metropolitanate of Athens, Mr. Ieronimos told reporters that “it was a wonderful service, solemn, but we wish that our next holidays would pass without these health problems.”

At the same time, the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece emphasized: “I want the voice of both states and churches to be heard by those who have not been vaccinated and hastened to get vaccinated. Every day it is confirmed that the vaccine is the only protection against a fatal disease. Even those vaccinated who have become infected, tolerate the disease more easily. And those who were not vaccinated filled hospitals. Our healthcare system will soon be undermined if things continue like this. That is why we all need to come together to withstand this difficult time, this time of pandemic. I hope that today will be the last religious holiday that we celebrate in this way, with restrictions. “
