Russian Orthodox Patriarch to dedicate new cathedral in Paris

The cathedral of the Holy Trinity, located near the Seine just a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower, is an imposing structure with five golden domes. Its opening signals the new vigor of the Orthodox faith in the French capital.

The cathedral’s dedication ceremony had originally been planned in September, with Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled to attend. It was postponed because of international tensions.

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.
