In the presence of 400 guests, the event of \u201cMelathron Ecumenical Hellenism\u201d was held in the Cultural Centre of Kykkos Monastery, in Archangelo, Nicosia on Monday the 24th of June. Despite the three-day national mourning for the loss of dearly-departed Christofias and because the event was of national content, a mass of people attended to experience unique moments. Everyone was very emotionally charged after watching the documentary that presented the travelogue of \u201cEcumenical Hellenism\u201d all over the world, where they witnessed the feats and drama of Hellenism. A Hellenism that is alive, creates, excels, participates in global affairs and one that, in some parts of the world (Latin America, Mexico), abandoned by the mother country, slowly dies but is resisting.<\/p>\n
A very special moment was when the well-known artist, Mimi Denisi, and the fighter, the real representative of Cypriot – Greek soul, Georgios Christofidis, were appointed High Commissioners of \u201cEcumenical Hellenism\u201d. Mimi Denisi, moved, connected in her speech, her artistic work with the actions of \u201cEcumenical Hellenism\u201d and did not refuse to get photographed with anyone, proving the range of an important personality. Georgios Christofidis, with his speech and his passion, with simple and humane words which included meanings of soul and struggle, received the distinction stressing that \u201cuntil today, you were the only ones to have honoured me\u201d.<\/p>\n
