Ellinais spokeswoman, Doretta Peppa told reporters that her Pagan group will hold a prayer protest on Sunday at the Parthenon. The prayer being done will be in worship to the Goddess Athena and to also protest the Christian destruction of the Acropolis grounds 1,500 years ago.
The group also, intends to ask Athena for help with the protection of Athen’s and the temple that use to belong to her that is known worldwide as the Parthenon. In the 5th century A.D the Parthenon was converted to a Christian church.
Ellinais has held several public ritual prayers at ancient Pagan landmarks, despite Italy’s Cultural Ministry banning the Pagan expressions.
“I don’t know how many of us will be there.” Peppa said, “People are afraid. The fact is that we are subject to religious persecution.”
