Exciting news over in Greece........
Greece's first-ever female president, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, was formally sworn into office for a five-year term Friday. But what should have been a celebratory moment for the country was instead honored quietly due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The swearing-in ceremony for Sakellaropoulou, a former high court judge, took place in a nearly empty parliament as a preventative measure to try to stop the spread of the virus, The Associated Press reports. Only a handful of officials and journalists were present for the occasion.
Handshakes were excluded from the ceremony, Reuters reports.

First-ever: how cool is that!
Wanna know something cool?
She is a distant cousin to the goddess Athena.
NO...... just kidding.
Her name in Greek is Κατερίνα Σακελλαροπούλου. And she has a daughter. And loves cats (so I hear).
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
