Old Calendarists Respond to Visit to Farm

The Metropolis of GOC (Genuine Orthodox Christians – Old Calendarists) clarifies that the visit of priests to a livestock farm in Aradippou was to perform a blessing and read special prayers to combat foot-and-mouth disease, and concerned only one farm, not “farms” as reported. It is emphasized that all health and veterinary protocols were followed, with checks by the competent services and disinfection upon entry and exit. The Metropolis assures that it does not seek impressions and that the Church stands by the livestock farmers, calling for prayer and practical support. At the same time, it appeals to the State to substantially support the livestock farmers. The visit is being investigated by the Police following complaints.
