On March 8, 2016, His Holiness Patriarch Neophyte visited the Moscow representation of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in the church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God-in-Gonchary.

His Holiness was accompanied by members of his delegation including Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, head of the Bulgarian Royal House, and Mr. Boiko Kocev, Bulgaria’s ambassador to Russia, as well as Bishop Tikhon of Podolsk, Archimandrite Philip (Vasiltsev), rector of the Sofia representation of the Russian Orthodox Church, and Hegumen Feofan (Lukyanov), head of the protocol service of the Department for External Church Relations (DECR).

Patriarch Neophyte was welcomed by the rector of the representation, Archimandrite Feoktist (Dimitrov).

His Holiness and his party venerated the main shrine of the church, the miracle-working Icon of the Three-Handed Mother of God.

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.
