The Russian Orthodox Church has been subjected to a well-thought-out attack to test the people’s faith. This was stated by its head, Patriarch Kirill speaking on the “Vesti Nedeli” Sunday programme of the Rossiya TV channel.

He noted that many people had long buried the ability of the Russian people to defend their values. However, when the Belt of the Mother of God was brought to Russia from Greece millions of people had come to the church to worship it, and those who organized the provocation had realized that strong and united people who are capable of defending themselves were before them, Patriarch Kirill said.

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.
