Today, at Ground Zero, we remembered the lives lost on 9/11, their families and friends, and all those heroes who gave the last full measure. We are rebuilding St. Nicholas for them, and to build a better world. May God grant comfort to all who mourn this day.

[City of New York @nycgov]

New York strong.

If they could do it in 1918, we can surely do it in 2020.

Wear a mask.

Ευγνώμων για την επανεκκίνηση της ανοικοδόμησης του Αγ. Νικολάου στο «Ground Zero» με τον @NYGovCuomo. Αυτό το Εθνικό Ι. Προσκύνημα θα αποτελεί σύμβολο αγάπης, συμφιλίωσης, θρησκευτικής ελευθερίας και ελευθερίας της συνείδησης που δεν λειτουργεί με αποκλεισμούς, αλλά καλωσορίζει.

New Yorkers went through hell and some people are acting like it never happened. Wear a mask!

[Elpidophoros @Elpidophoros]

Grateful to restart construction at St. Nicholas at Ground Zero with @NYGovCuomo. This National Shrine will be a symbol of love, of reconciliation, and a sign of the ideals of religious liberty and freedom of conscience that never excludes, but only embraces.

[Elpidophoros @Elpidophoros]

Σήμερα, με τη μετατροπή της Αγίας Σοφίας σε τζαμί πενθούμε όχι μόνο για μας, αλλά για όλο τον κόσμο. Πενθούμε για τους ανθρώπους κάθε πίστης και συνείδησης, οι οποίοι βιώνουν την απώλεια αυτής της βίαιας αλλαγής.

[Elpidophoros @Elpidophoros]

On the day of the re-conversion of #HagiaSophia into a mosque, we mourn not only for ourselves, but for the whole world whose loss this is. We mourn for all people of every faith and every conscience, violated by this forced conversion.

[Metropolitan Nathanael @MetNathanael]

The re-conversion of #HagiaSophia into a mosque is a visible sign of the Turkey’s disregard for the religious freedom of Christians and other religious minorities. @CardinalBCupich and I stand together in defense of these communities and their rights > https://t.co/0UqCGtnK83

[Elpidophoros @Elpidophoros]

I am grateful to have met with President Trump (@POTUS) and @VP Pence in the @WhiteHouse and communicated our grave dismay at the re-conversion of #HagiaSophia into a mosque, as well as ongoing security concerns for the Ecumenical Patriarchate and issues of religious liberty.

[Giannis Metekidis @metekidis]

@NYGovCuomo by having the #COVID19 testing sites under-staffed and taking more than 2 hours to get tested through drive-through sites, the State is making it less accessible and harder for the people to get tested. Unacceptable.

[HellenicLeaders @HellenicLeaders]

46 years ago today #Turkey launched the first wave of its invasion of #Cyprus, committing a crime that continues to this day.

HALC’s @Zemenides explains the significance of not holding Turkey accountable for this crime. ⬇️

[Elpidophoros @Elpidophoros]

I was grateful to receive a call from VP @JoeBiden, expressing his support of our Ecumenical Patriarchate, and his solidarity with our cause to maintain the status quo for #HagiaSophia.

One is a mask. The other is a chin guard. No one told you to wear a chin guard. Wear a mask.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

Hagia Sophia: UNESCO deeply regrets the decision of the Turkish authorities, made without prior discussion, and calls for the universal value of #WorldHeritage to be preserved.

Full statement: https://t.co/WiZpjyagqF

[Giannis Metekidis @metekidis]

Erdogan makes a Unesco World Heritage site, which is an essential part of the history of Christianism, a mosque. Disgusting. #hagiasofia

A reaction from @Elpidophoros @realDonaldTrump @kmitsotakis @UNESCO @UN?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The architectural jewel Hagia Sophia can be converted from museum to mosque, a Turkish court said. The change was long sought by Turkey’s president. https://t.co/TnJVYqmZjE

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

I strongly denounce #Turkey’s decision to convert Hagia Sophia into a mosque. I urge Erdogan to reverse course and restore Hagia Sophia’s remarkable legacy as a museum for people of all faiths and cultures to visit. https://t.co/AUfDgGP9f4

[Order of AHEPA @OrderOfAHEPA]

This #IndependanceDay, we take a moment to reflect on the founding of the United States, the ideals and values that comprised our nation's founding and remember our fellow Americans who have fought to secure, preserve and protect those ideals and values... https://t.co/JkAfLiSweU
