His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, has sent congratulations to Mr. Miguel Diaz-Camel Bermudez on his election as President of the Council of the State of the Republic of Cuba:

His Excellency MIGUEL MARIO DÍAZ-CANEL BERMÚDEZ

President

Council of the State

Republic of Cuba

 

Your Excellency,

Please accept my sincere congratulations on your election as President of the Council of the State of the Republic of Cuba.

Having a considerable experience in operating the government and authority in the society, you have been elected to the highest national post by an absolute majority of the National Assembly of the Republic. This event has become a testimony to a high confidence that the Cuban parliament members have in your nomination.

I hope that with your election Cuba’s further progress and the fraternal relations between our nations will continue. A visible testimony to it the Russian Orthodox church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Havana.

I wish you, highly esteemed Mr. Diaz-Canel, success in your work in this lofty walk of life, and to the people of Cuba I wish peace and prosperity.

 

With profound respect,

+ 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.
