From April 2, 2020 to October 22, 2021, a special group of trained priests of the Hospital Commission of the Moscow Diocese made 4,020 visits.

The priests visited people with coronavirus, suspected coronavirus and dying without the symptoms of coronavirus, according to the website of the Synodal Charity Department of the Russian Orthodox Church.

It is noted that in the last month the number of requests for a visit of a priest has increased. Clergymen visit people in special suits and protective equipment.

In addition to home visits starting from April 2020, the priests of the special group have visited 57 medical institutions in the Moscow region.

Hospital ministry, spiritual and psychological assistance to hospital patients is one of the leading areas of social service of the Russian Orthodox Church. In Moscow, requests for a priest’s visit to a patient with coronavirus are accepted around the clock.

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.
