Patriarch Kirill congratulates the Primate of the Serbian Orthodox Church on Slava, the day of his family’s patron saint

Your Holiness,

Beloved Brother and Concelebrant at the Throne of God:

My cordial greetings on the day of Slava.

This feast celebrated by Your Holiness falls on the Saturday of Lazarus, the day of joyful remembrance of the mighty life-giving power of our Saviour Who confirmed the universal resurrection (the Saturday of Lazarus martins) and by His word raised the righteous Lazarus from the dead.

I prayerfully wish that God’s grace may always accompany you in your primatial service on the Serbian Patriarchal throne.

May the all-merciful Lord grant you His help in your work and care for your God-loving flock and preserve you in good health for many years.

With brotherly love in Christ,

+Kirill

Patriarchal of Moscow and All Russia

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.
