A great sensation was caused in the Greek society by the revelation of the president of SYRIZA to the archbishop of America Elpidophoros – during their recent meeting in the USA – that when he was baptized, a cross was formed from the oil in the water of the swimming pool.

“I was baptized by Agios Tsalikis with Father Kyrillos, and a cross was formed in the water from the oil. Agios Tsalikis told my parents: he will either become a priest, or he will be very great,” Stefanos Kasselakis reportedly said to Elpidophoros, as first revealed by the Hellas Journal website.

The news and the “prophecy” went viral, causing the health minister’s scathing comment.

“I cannot comment on the miracle with the baptism of Kasselakis, I am not an expert on commenting on miracles. However, the stance of the leader of the Radical Left Coalition in favor of the church and religion is a very good development for Greece. In general, his stance in favor of NATO, Israel and against Iran, in favor of Ukraine and against Russia and in favor of the Christian religion and against atheism, positions traditionally opposed to the area he represents, I consider them positive” he said this morning Adonis Georgiadis on SKAI.

Marinakis: “Miracle workers cannot solve our problems”

For his part, when asked if Mr. Kasselakis gets an agenda by making his cross, going to the archbishop or talking about his baptism, the government representative Pavlos Marinakis told SKAI, among other things, that “the miracle workers, those who can walk on the sea , which crosses are created when they are born, they cannot solve our problems. The world saw in a tragic way that not only do not all of them do miracles, they only cause disasters by recalling the experience of SYRIZA in 2012-2015 as an opposition and in the period 2015-2019 as a government.

“Party” at X with the… prophecy

Social media users were quick to comment on the news with caustic humor.
