Paris, December 5, Interfax - The meeting between French President Francois Hollande and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has ended in Paris.

Hollande met the patriarch on the porch of the Elysee Palace in Paris. After that, they went inside, leaving the journalists to wait outside for the negotiations to end.

The meeting between the French president and the patriarch lasted some 40 minutes.

Patriarch Kirill began his primatial visit to the Diocese of Korsun on December 3. During the visit, which will last until December 7, the patriarch will visit Paris and the Swiss city of Zurich, where he will lead the church festivities marking the 80th anniversary of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ.

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.
