Katerina Now Leads Greece

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 -
