Agia Lavra is not a true story[edit]
Shouldn't it be mentioned in the article that on the 25th of March 1821 Germanos was in another place as he admits in his own memoirs? This Agia Lavra story was an invention that came a bit later for various propagandistic reasons. Please someone fix Simanos (talk) 16:36, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- Germanos doesn't say where he was or wasn't on that day. Actually he doesn't mention at all his activities as a bishop but focuses only on politics and war facts. The claim that "he was in another place" is a myth propagated by the marxist circle who thought they can undermine the religious character of the Revolution and promote the "social" narrative. This claim is not supported by any original source, written or oral. Contrary, there are about half a dozen of original sources stating that the famous Te Deum in Agia Lavra did happen on the 25th of March, with or without Germanos.--Skylax30 (talk) 18:16, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- I think someone has been watching a certain infamous documentary on Greek TV... There are many things under dispute in that documentary (including the political backgrounds of the historians that were interviewed). A more appropriate change to this article would therefore be a mention of the controversy, as opposed to stating that "none of this ever happened". Otherwise we're potentially allowing historical revisionism to triumph.
- By the way, one of the things that has come out in recent years is the possibility that Germanos made the proclamation on March 23rd as opposed to the 25th. That would make your whole point moot.109.178.229.218 (talk) 19:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
