Service Description

Greece is considered the successor of Christian Byzantium. This is the only country in the modern world where Orthodoxy is constitutionally enshrined as the state religion. Church and Orthodoxy are an integral part of the life of the population (98% of which are Orthodox Christians), but also of the state. Many consider it surprising that a country with an ancient history, a huge layer of ancient culture and a centuries-old pagan cult has become a true stronghold of the Christian faith, a storehouse of Orthodox culture and a keeper of church traditions. It is not even customary for a Greek to ask about his religion.
