Protest of the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Greece
April 7, 2015. In Greece there were published photos with shoes which have the symbol of the Holy Cross on the undersurface of them. The Holy Synod of the Church of Greece reacted to this fact with a Communiqué, according to its official website ecclesia.gr.
The Holy Synod “considers that such a using of the Holy Cross constitutes desecration, abuse, irreverence and insult against the Redemptive Symbol of our Orthodox faith. For this reason the Holy Synod expresses its discontentment, opposition and repugnance against this profane action, which took place during the Holy Week and demands the recall of this specific type of shoes”.
