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
