Greek priests and Muslim refugees pray to their Gods for the hundreds of refugees and migrants who have perished in the Aegean Sea while trying to cross from Turkey to Greece and reach Europe for a better life.
The prayer was conducted by the Orthodox Metropolitans of Lesvos and Mythimnis, Iakovos and Chrystostomos, and Muslim religious functionaries and was attended by the island mayor Spyros Galinos, representatives of local authorities, volunteers and members of NGOs operating on the island and many residents of the island who said they wanted to alert the international community to find a solution to the continuing humanitarian crisis.
