The celebration of the Solemn High Priestly Divine Liturgy, for the celebration of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, on the island of Tinos, has been completed. After the celebration of the Divine Liturgy, the Prime Minister said “Today we are sending a message of optimism for the future of the country. We Greeks have every reason to be optimistic about the future despite the difficulties we face”.
As he noted, “the country has overcome the 10-year crisis and has every right to look to the future with greater hope and optimism, words that are identified with today’s great celebration.” Finally, Kyriakos Mitsotakis made a special reference to the Armed Forces “to them and those who make sure that we are all safe and gave their lives in the unequal battle with the fiery blaze”.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was joined at the Tinos events by National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias, who was accompanied by the Armed Forces General Chief of Staff Constantinos Floros. Mitsotakis’ daughter Daphne came with the premier as well.
Earlier in the day Mitsotakis attended the service and the commemoration of the sinking of ‘Elli’, a light cruiser ship, by the Italian Navy. The ship was docked at Tinos as part of the Dormition celebration when it was torpedoed in 1940.
He boarded a missile boat that sailed where Elli sank, 550 meters off the port, and after a memorial service for those crew members who died he cast a wreath in the sea.
He then attended the Dormition liturgy at the Tinos Cathedral. In a message following the procession of the Virgin’s icon, Mitsotakis conveyed his optimism for the future of Greece and highlighted the key role of the Armed Forces in Greece’s security, expressing the government’s unwavering support to them.
