Patriarch Daniel of the Romanian Christian Orthodox Church will be on a brotherly visit to Tirana, Albania, May 31-June 2 for the consecration of a new Resurrection of Our Lord archbishop cathedral.

The press office of the Romanian Patriarchate reports in a press release on Thursday that the visit is paid at the invitation of the Archbishop Anastasios of Tirana, Durres and All Albania.

On June 1, Daniel and other leaders of the Romanian and Albanian Christian Orthodox churches will hold the consecration service and a liturgy. The Resurrection of Our Lord Church ensemble is made up of a cathedral, a chapel, belfry, a Saint Synod seat and a culture centre. Its construction started in 2004 and was finalized in 2011.

On June 2, Daniel is scheduled to meet Albania’s President, chairman of Albania’s Parliament, Albania’s Prime Minister and the mayor of Tirana City.

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.
