The catalytic effect of the Greek language on world culture and its expressive power, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was mentioned, in his videotaped greeting, which was broadcast during the online event "Seferis – Elytis: from Greece to the World ", organized…….. the Consulate General of Greece in Polis, today, World Greek Language Day.
"Rightly so, Greek is claiming the title of "mother tongue of the spirit"”. If "classic"” is what reflects the common quests of the people and transcends the boundaries of the culture in which it was created, then the Greek language is really classical, "Estate is here” of humanity", pointed out, including, His Holiness.
