In Alexandroupoli, Greece, elderly residents at the local ecclesiastical nursing home find solace and community during the Christmas season, thanks to the care and companionship of the staff. Father Christodoulos Karathanasis, the director, noted that the home, which accommodates 120 seniors, provides a warm and nurturing environment reminiscent of family life. Established in 1961 by the late Metropolitan Joachim Kaviris, the facility has expanded over the years to better serve its residents.
