After going against the law of not more than ten people in a gathering, a priest in Greece arrested for holding a mass

A conventional priest was arrested in Greece on Saturday after praising mass in a congregation, following the suspension of strict office requested by the nation during the coronavirus flare-up.

Metropolite Seraphim of Cipher island, off the Greek coast, had commended strict office on Friday night, in front of the Orthodox Easter festivals beginning on 19 April, referring to police sources.

After individual reprobations, the metropolite was met by the police on Saturday and was given a warning of the law.

He was discharged after being approached to follow the measures applied by the Greek government and the Church of Greece amid the coronavirus emergency.

Since the principal passing of COVID-19 in Greece on March, 12, the legislature received a severe lockdown to stop the spread of the infection, shutting schools, organizations, and open places and restricting open social events over 10 individuals.

On Monday, the amazing Church of Greece, which had not been explicitly approached too near to the administration, chose to suspend mass and keep places of worship open just for "singular petitions".

The Education and Religion service at that point approached Thursday for the suspension of "every strict festival in all places of worship, except memorial services and individual supplications".

Since Thursday, 222 infringement of the administration's measures have been accounted for across Greece and 233 individuals have been captured, as indicated by an announcement from the Greek police.

Most infringements were for bistros, cafés, hair salons, and different shops, which must stay shut, the police report.

Greece has had 13 passings and 530 instances of coronavirus, as per the most recent figures.
