On Krasnodarskaya Street 50 in Moscow, at the Church of Holy Martyr Tatiana of Rome a solemn service was held at the standing Cross which had been desecrated by vandals at night before 26 March.

In a Cross Procession with Icons and Holy Banners in their hands, the faithful headed by the Rector of the Church, Priest John Koval, walked up to the site where the standing Cross had dominated since September 2011.

“That evening we prayed for increase of love and asked for God’s blessing for restoration of this Holy Cross,” said the Priest. He also added with smile that for day before, he had already received many offers from volunteers who expressed their immediate readiness to begin restoration of the Cross.

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.
