On Wednesday morning, the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church celebrated a liturgy at the Church of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan in Kolomenskoye where the Derzhavnaya Icon of the Mother of God was found hundred years ago on the day of the emperor’s abdication and has become one of the chief shrines in modern Russia.
“The patriarch read a special prayer referring to the 100th anniversary of the revolution and said special words “for the repose of all who died in the internal war,” the patriarch’s press secretary Priest Alexander Volkov told Interfax-Religion.
The patriarchal liturgy has become the first event dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the epoch when persecutions against the Church started.
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.
