CATHOLICOS OF THE EAST AND MALANKARA METROPOLITAN

Your Holiness,

Please accept my heartfelt greetings with your 70^th birthday.

The years of your service to God and the Church have been marked by numerous good achievements. You are known as a zealous champion of the imperishable moral values, committed to the development of cooperation among Christians of various confessions and to interreligious peace in the land of India.

I have warm recollections of my visit to India in 2006 and of my meeting with your esteemed predecessor, His Holiness Baselios Marthoma Didymos I, and hope that the fraternal ties between the Russian Orthodox Church and the See of the Holy Apostle Thomas will continue to strengthen.

May the Lord preserve you in good health for many years.

With love in Christ,

+KIRILL

PATRIARCH 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.
