How To Watch Greek Church Services Online This Easter

Due to this year's unique circumstances and unprecedented events, people around Greece will celebrate Holy Week and Easter Sunday in a very different way.

 

Social distancing has become the new reality for Greeks who will be celebrating Easter in quarantine and only with their immediate family.

 

Following the closure of churches, religious services and all events surrounding Orthodox Easter in Athens are suspended to prevent the virus from spreading. The Greek National Television network will broadcast (on tv and online) all Holy Week services from both the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Diocese of Athens.
