His Holiness was assisted by a great assembly of bishops and priests. Present at the service were benefactors of the church.

After the Ardent Supplication, the Primate of the Russian Church led the congregation in a prayer for peace in Ukraine.

Patriarch Kirill presented the newly-consecrated church with an old icon of the Exaltation of the Honourable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord.

His Holiness presented a number of clergy with high church awards. He also awarded several secular officials for their assistance in the restoration of St. Clement’s.

The faithful were given small icons of St. Clement with a patriarchal blessing.

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.
