ATHENS, Greece — A small group of pagans pledged Thursday to hold a protest prayer among the Acropolis temples, more than 1,500 years after Christians stamped out worship of the ancient Greek gods.

Group spokeswoman Doretta Peppa said the worshippers would pray Sunday to Athena — goddess of wisdom and patron of ancient Athens — to protect the 2,500-year-old site. Peppa said followers of the old religion object to the removal of hundreds of sculptural masterpieces from a museum on the Acropolis to a large new building.
