I have met Metr. Photios. He is a very kind and attentive hierarch.

It appears that none of the women have their heads covered.

Very noticeable. What has happened? They do not look too happy.
Perhaps the basket of scarves was being washed that day.

Chuckle, chuckle ! Good joke.

About the grim expressions on the women's faces, isn't it perplexing ? This should be a happy occasion.
But the ones in the picture all look quite perturbed...

The photograph is irrelevant to the fact of the election. The journalist who first published the story had put a picture of the two Bishops from his archive. You can see here: Note: picture no longer available.

the words "ΦΩΤΟ ΑΡΧΕΙΟΥ" (photo from the archive) on the down right corner.

You see here:
