Participants in the celebrations told an Interfax-Religion correspondent that a bat-eared red and white puppy was given to Patriarch Kirill in a bag on behalf of the parishioners of the Dormition Cathedral in London.
“The puppy looked out from the bag and was interested to see its new master. Patriarch Kirill, who is famous for his good attitude to animals, smiled at his new pet and started patting the dog’s head,” the interviewee of the agency said.
Welsh Corgi are especially popular in Britain because they live in the royal family.
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.
