Larnaca, June 8, Interfax – Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has arrived in Cyprus for a four-day visit.

He was greeted at the airport by Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Nova Justiniana and All Cyprus, members of the Cyprus Orthodox Church, Russian Ambassador to Cyprus Vyacheslav Shumsky and Ukrainian Ambassador Boris Gumenyuk.

On Friday, Patriarch Kirill will visit the Cyprus archbishopric in the capital Nicosia, where he will attend a session of the Cyprus Church Synod.

He will conduct brief memorial services and lay flowers at the monument commemorating the liberation of the Cypriot people from the British colonial rule and the monument to the heroes of the resistance movement against the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church will also visit Saint Heracleidius Convent in Tamasoss, where he will conduct a prayer service.

 

 

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.
