April 7, 2014. PRAVMIR. A monument to St. Sergius of Radonezh will be erected in the Crimea.

Sergei Naryshkin, Speaker of the State Duma, who is also the chairman of the Russian Historical Society, announced plans to erect a monument to St. Sergius in the Crimea, the news portal Interfax-Religion reported.

“The St. Sergius of Radonezh Fund, part of the Russian Historical Society, plans to erect here in the Crimea, if it is allowed, a monument to Sergius of Radonezh, especially since this is a jubilee year: the 700th anniversary of St. Sergius of Radonezh,” Naryshkin related this Saturday at a meeting with members of the State Council of the Crimea.

Monuments in honor of the 700th anniversary of St. Sergius will also be established in the cities of Minsk and Mineralnye Vody.

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.
