The passage from the Gospel of John, where Thomas questions Jesus and receives the response, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” is paralleled with the government’s attempt not to go to elections without the reconciliation with the church. Kyriakos Mitsotakis is engaging in this effort, attending today’s church service presided by Archbishop Ieronymos, marking his first visit to the Cathedral in months. Recent events, including Mitsotakis and the Archbishop’s joint presence in Dilesi, indicate a thawing of relations between the state and the church.

Mitsotakis is expected to continue his engagements with plans for tours across Greece involving government officials and party members after Easter.
