Liberation and reunification of Cyprus, but also health for the whole world, Anita Demetriou, the Speaker of the Parliament, wished Cyprus and the rest of the world, at the lighting ceremony of the Christmas Tree, which took place on Sunday evening, November 27, at the Europe Square in Larnaca.
After mentioning that she is in Larnaca, her city which she loves very much, she added that in the city of Zenon "we are all together as a team, Local Government, City Council, Members of Parliament and organized groups because we want the good not only of our city but also of our Cyprus. Today, with all that is happening in the world, with an ongoing war and with our national problem unresolved, our first wish is the liberation and reunification of our country and of course health, which is the supreme good for the whole world".
As Ms Demetriou said, "Larnaca welcomes not only Larnaca residents but also all those who want to visit the city, which was fantastically decorated this year, as befits the spirit of the holidays. Especially young children and we older children need to experience these festive days, which are days of joy, love and family".
For his part, Larnaca Mayor Andreas Vyras said that "it is the season of holidays which we will celebrate in our city with our families, escape from routine and give the message that neither pandemics nor difficulties affect the way of life, for the prosperity of the city and for our own prosperity and that of our families".
He added that "in Larnaca during the Christmas holidays we will have Paramythoupoli, the decorated city shopping centre, concerts and whatever else is needed so that we don't have to leave the city of Zenon".
The Mayor wished the hundreds of people, young and old, who attended the lighting ceremony "Happy Holidays always with health, prosperity for us and for our place and to continue life as Larnaca people know it with optimism and joy. We will make Larnaca the most beautiful city to live in and with a quality of life that many would envy," he said and asked people to stay and stand by their city.
Before the lighting ceremony, a festive program was presented by Tsveta Christoforou, Svetlomir Dimitrov, the Municipal Children's Philharmonic, the Etoile Dance School and the Municipal Children's Choir.
The lighting of the Christmas tree was followed by a musical programme entitled "The Spirit of Christmas" with the Larnaca Municipality Vocal Ensemble and Alexia Vassiliou.
