Many of the groups hailed from Papoulias' native province of Epirus, in mountainous northwestern Greece, whereas one group of carollers was comprised of Palestinian children.

Afterwards, the Greek president was set to attend a luncheon hosted by the presidential honor guard.

Meanwhile, in an annual Christmas message to expatriate Greeks around the world, Papoulias said the ongoing era of global changes is the new environment in which "Hellenism, and the Diaspora, in general, is called upon to play a significant role."

He added that overseas Greeks comprise a very special part of Hellenism, "whose success, energy, work and diverse contribution to Greece makes us all proud."

In conclusion, Papoulias stresses that ethnic Greeks in every corner of the world represent bridges between their metropolitan motherland and their new homelands.
