Russian Church Desecrated in Geneva

admin | 16 October 2012

Geneva’s Elevation of the Holy Cross Cathedral, which belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), has been attacked.

“Unknown persons apparently used a fire extinguisher to spray paint over the southern wall of the building, damaging the walls and stained-glass windows. They also covered the adjacent pavement with numerous inscriptions,” a spokesman for the ROCOR local diocese said.

Police are searching for the vandals.

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.
