MINSK, 8 January (BelTA) – On Christmas Day, 7 January, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko traditionally visited the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Minsk, BelTA has learned.
The President lit a candle for the Icon of the Mother of God of Minsk. The President visited the cathedral together with his younger son Nikolai.
Alexander Lukashenko gave the Belarusian Orthodox Church a souvenir panel picture. It depicts the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Polotsk. The panel picture is made of silver with the use of the embossing technique. Built in 1893, the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is part of St. Euphrosyne Monastery in Polotsk. The cathedral holds the relics of Saint Euphrosyne of Polotsk.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
