Diario Da Regencia, Lisbon, 30th of June 1821 A highly significant historical document concerning the Greek Revolution. It features the full transcription of the prayer addressed to the clergy and the faithful of the Peloponnese, delivered at the Monastery of Agia Lavra by Metropolitan Germanos III of Old Patras on March 8, 1821. Invoking psalms and hymns, he sought to rouse the Greeks against the Ottomans: "..Others, besides your High Priest, will speak to you of the glory of your ancestors; I shall repeat to you the name of that God to whom we owe a love stronger than death.... Tomorrow, led by the Cross, we shall march toward the city of Patras, whose soil has been sanctified by the blood of the glorious martyr, the Apostle Saint Andrew....". The text also presents a Manifesto addressed to the governments of Europe by the Messenian Senate of Kalamata and Petrobey Mavromichalis, delivered to the Spartan headquarters on March 25. It details the tyrannical oppression of the Ottoman Empire and the causes that compelled the Greeks to revolt: "...We fight for our sacred religion, for our lives, for our honor, and for our property, which the barbarians have never respected...".
