A priest from Serres has caused an uproar, after posting half-naked photos of himself on Instagram.

In the priest’s profile, there were dozens of photos of him in provocative poses, half-naked, with fishnet T-shirts and open shirts.

Speaking on a radio station in Thessaloniki, the priest claimed he did not believe he had done anything provocative, explaining that he posed as a model in order to help a member of his family who is a professional photographer.

However, after the matter became public, the priest locked his profile, which is now only visible to his friends.
