EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): We believed we have seen all the blasphemy and all degeneracy in this critical year of 2024, but NO!! The reality is that we have seen nothing yet! I am translating from the website tasthyras.wordpress.com: 

“… In the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brighton & Hove, England, a musical event entitled “Icons of Greek Music, Theodorakis, Hatzidakis, Xarchakos” took place. Father Germanos is in charge of the Church, who of course cannot act on his own initiative but with the blessing of the archbishop of Thyatira and Great Britain Nikitas (Liulias).  And as we can see, this event was also published by the website of the Temple!!

A band from the REBETIKO CARNIVAL club performed there, which, according to their website, is an organization dedicated to making music accessible and helping people in need.

First of all, we see the usual “charitable purpose” being promoted next to the facilitation, he says, of access to music!! What do you say, my child!!! And, of course, we wonder, what business does this have to happen inside a Holy Temple? Why should a consecrated Holy Temple spit out its sacred purpose, which does not exist anywhere else, to display the rebetiko that can be displayed anywhere? And, of course, the answer here is obvious, and it has nothing to do with the promotion of rebetiko but with the use of this music for the de-sacredness of the Holy Temple….”

Ρεμπέτικο σε Ορθόδοξο Ναό στην Αγγλία. Χτυπούν με λύσσα την Εκκλησία (ΒΙΝΤΕΟ).

Όπου υποχωρεί η ομολογία και η ευσέβεια, εκεί προχωρεί το ξεχαρβάλωμα και η ασέβεια. Στον Ναό Αγίας Τριάδος, Μπράιτον και Χοουβ (Brighton & Hove) της Αγγλίας έλαβε χώρα ένα μουσικό δρώμενο με τίτλο «Εικόνες της Ελληνικής Μουσικής, Θεοδωράκης, Χατζηδάκης, Ξαρχάκος». Υπεύθυνος του Ναού είναι ο πατήρ Γερμανός, ο οποίος βέβαια δεν μπορεί να ενεργεί με δική του πρωτοβουλία αλλά με την ευλογία του αρχιεπισκόπου Θυατείρων και Μεγάλης Βρετανίας Νικήτα (Λιούλια). Και όπως βλέπουμε το δρώμενο αυτό δημοσιεύθηκε και από την ιστοσελίδα του Ναού!!

Εκεί εμφανίστηκε ένα συγκρότημα από τον σύλλογο «ΡΕΜΠΕΤΙΚΟ ΚΑΡΝΑΒΑΛΙ» (REBETIKO CARNIVAL), ο οποίος, σύμφωνα με την ιστοσελίδα τους, είναι ένας οργανισμός αφιερωμένος στην διευκόλυνση πρόσβασης στην μουσική και στην παροχή βοήθειας σε ανθρώπους που έχουν ανάγκη.

  1. This is a serious question and not meant to be derogatory:

    Have the Greeks collectively gone berserk?

    Every problem and innovation in the Orthodox world has been emanating from the Greek speaking Church.

    It’s starting to feel like the Greeks are mimicking the Latins circa 1054…they’re adopting innovation after innovation until the Greeks will collectively no longer be within the Orthodox Church and the meaning of “Greek Orthodox Church” will be analogous to “Roman Catholic Church.” It will be a Greek religion for Greeks and have constant innovation.

    I mean please tell me I’m wrong but to me the Greeks have totally lost the plot.

    • Because the Greek Church has been rotting away for years. The Greeks have forgone their Orthodox Christian values and for the most part, have embraced materialism and everything corrupt from the west, thanks to the politicians who have sold the country to the EU. When I was in Kefalonia last year, I went to Saint Gerasimos Cathedral for Sunday service. Big difference between the local Greeks and the other (non Greek) Orthodox pilgrims who were there: Greek women came to church half dressed like they were heading to the beach and the others wore headscarves and came dressed appropriately out of reverence. We have lost our way and are not serious anymore. Greek churches are filled with pews because we are too lazy to stand up and actively participate in the Liturgy. We sit right through all Church services like we are in a theatre watching a show. This is hardly praying when even some people are not doing the sign of the cross. The only thing that will revive our nation is persecution and martyrdom like in other Orthodox countries.

  2. All of you must walk away from the pagan churches. Do not go into these churches. The West is conditioning humanity that paganism is the right religion. Stay away. Priests are just as guilty as hie4archs. Wake up.

  3. Let us not forget that a few years ago a memorial service was held for a police dog in a Greek Orthodox Church in Michigan. Google ” memorial held for police dog in Greek orthodox church” for more info.

  4. Όταν καπνίζει ο λουλάς
    εσύ δεν πρέπει να μιλάς.
    Κοίταξε τριγύρω οι μάγκες
    κάνουν όλοι, κάνουν τουμπεκί.

    Άκου που παίζει ο μπαγλαμάς
    και πάτα αργιλέ για μας.
    Σα θα γίνουμε μαστούρια,
    θα ‘μαστε πολύ προσεχτικοί.

    Κανένα μάτι μη μας δει
    και μας μπλοκάρουν δηλαδή.
    Να μη βρούνε καμιάν αιτία
    και μας πάνε όλους φυλακή.

  5. Vassilis Tsitsanis never allowed his wife to show up at any of the venues that he performed. He explicitly told her, those are not places for a decent lady to appear in. She literally never saw her famous husband perform live.

    Even the old timer “Rempetes”, who were not exactly the most diligent Church-goers, would cringe if they saw this desecration that we are witnessing. They understood “boundaries”, and were quite conscious of their own choices compared to “societal decency”.

  6. My parents knew no gyro or bzuky. THose came from Asia Minor. They stopped going to
    Greece because it became so Middle Eastern. For them Greece, was more European.
