Orthodoxy-in prison on the mountains

Orthodoxy in Prison on the Mountains

“And if they even put me in prison and say ‘you’re mad, you won’t perform Liturgy’, and they also take the Antimensio, then in prison if we’re imprisoned together, I’ll tell you ‘lie down’.

You will lie down and I will perform Liturgy on your chest without Antimensio. Every believer is an image of God. And because it is an image of God, every believer is a Holy Table.

I will put a plastic cup on your chest, some bread that I will find from the food of the prisoners and a plate of any kind and I will perform Liturgy.

Nothing stops us, we are determined for everything. In the mountains or in prisons, nothing stops us.”

— Father Konstantinos Stratigopoulos
