Dozens of school children received blessed pens during a special religious service in Trikala, central Greece. The blessed pens are aimed to accompany the students through the exams and help them with inspiration and success.
Invited were students at the the Metropolitan Church of Agios Nikolaos, by the Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Trikki who performed the holy prayer for the enlightenment, strengthening and success of the students.
The start of the 2025 National Exams for University entrance is the event that marks the week, on Friday and Saturday, May 30-31, while other exams in schools take place in June as well..
Dozens of students attended the prayer, while they were also given pens that, according to local media trikalavoice.gr, were blessed.
After the prayer, His Eminence read a prayer for the students and announced that throughout the exam period, a holy prayer for the students will be held every morning at 8 o’ clock in the Holy Metropolitan Church of Saint Nicholas.
Next to students, also parents have been urged to participate and pray for the success of their children.
PS i have no idea if blessed pens can solve mathematics, physics problems, if the contact with the holy pen triggers with the hand as tool the brain cells of the students to remember history facts, but they will surely need more than one pen to cover all the needs in exams.
