On June 3, the Day of Ss Constantine and Helen Equal-to-the-Apostles, Metropolitan Onufry attended a reception given in honour of the Ukrainian delegation by Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem. The event, which took place at the Patriarchate of Jerusalem grand hall, was also attended by clergymen and monks of the Holy Sepulchre Brotherhood and members of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem.

Addressing Metropolitan Onufry, Patriarch Theophilos wished him a happy pilgrimage. He also said that he was deeply disturbed by the situation in Ukraine and was praying for a speedy restoration of peace in the Ukrainian land.

In his response, Metropolitan Onufry warmly thanked the Patriarch of Jerusalem and members of the Holy Sepulchre Brotherhood for good wishes and prayers for Ukraine and its people, the official website of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has reported.

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.
