It is an important, historic moment for Cyprus, House President says about Archbishop’s enthronement

It is an important, historic moment for Cyprus, House of Representatives President Annita Demetriou said about the enthronement of new Archbishop of Cyprus Georgios.

Demetriou was replying to a journalist’s comment to that effect after the enthronement ceremony which took place at Apostle Barnabas cathedral in Nicosia, on Sunday.

Indeed, she noted, “it is a historic day, at least personally I do not recall the previous Archbishop’s enthronement ceremony.”

She expressed the wish that the Church will continue its virtuous work and its role which has been ongoing for centuries.

“It is an important, historic moment for our Cyprus and we wish for the best,” Demetriou said.

The state, the President of the Republic, the House of Representatives, all organised actors are here; as we should be, we are following together the same path in the best interest of our country, she pointed out.
