On Sunday 25th March, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and Community of Sydney held their annual march in Sydney’s CBD to commemorate Greek Independence Day. Church parishes, schools and Greek organisations all participated, along with the Greek Orthodox Christian Society and the Greek
Orthodox Ladies Groups. A memorial service was held at Martin Place, officiated by His Eminence Archbishop Stylianos, followed by a march towards Sydney Opera House, where large crowds enthusiastically greeted the procession. The event was honoured by the attendance of numerous federal and state political leaders and other dignitaries, who spoke warmly of the historical and spiritual significance of the Day, as well as the strong contribution of Greeks to Australian society
