Due to the pandemic, Christmas Alilo to be held in a different way

The annual Christmas Alilo procession will be held following the regulations set due to the pandemic.

According to the Georgian Patriarchate, Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II will hold the Christmas church service.

“Alilo is a tradition at the blessing of Patriarch since 2000. It will be observed this year but in a different way. No procession will be held. However, the clergy will congratulate the population and children on Christmas by chanting and pouring blessed water from the motor vehicles.

The procession will begin on January 7 at 2pm from First Republic Square and will end at 4pm at Trinity Cathedral”, - reads the statement of the Patriarchate.
