His Holiness Patriarch Kirill greets heads of foreign states with Easter

Christ is Risen!

Please accept my congratulations on the great and salutary feast of Easter!

On these radiant days we recall and glorify the event that has for ever changed human history. The Resurrection of Christ marks the intransient victory of good over evil and life over death ‘for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’ (Jn 3:16).

We are called to remain faithful to the Gospel ideals, treating our neighbours and those who are far with love and trying to establish traditional moral values and ethical guides in society thus contributing to the maintenance of peace and harmony among countries and nations.

I wish you good health, God’s help and success in your noble ministry.

Respectfully,

+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.
