“Today, amid attempts to destroy the spiritual-historical bonds between people, we are building a church in Vladimir, the second capital city of Rus after Kiev, in honor of the Christianizer of Rus to emphasize yet again the organic unity and spiritual connection between Kiev, Vladimir and Moscow, and the invincible and overwhelming unity of the Holy Rus,” the patriarch said at the ceremony.
It is an important symbolic act which indicates that, “we do remember the blessed time, when we lived as one family, from the northern to southern seas, from the western to eastern borders, and when the same saints, traditions and system of values filled our hearts,” he said.
“May God conciliate all those who are fighting on the Ukrainian soil in an internecine feud, and bless the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and other peoples, christened in Kiev and endowed with spiritual power, wisdom and common faith,” he said.

…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.
