Christian delegation : Jerusalem is the incubator of our Palestinian unity
A Christian delegation led by Atallah Hanna, Archbishop of the Palestinian Orthodox Church in Occupied Jerusalem, visited the Aqsa Mosque on Saturday.

Sheikh Abdul-Azim Salhab, head of the Islamic Waqf Council in Jerusalem, and a number of his assistants welcomed the delegation during its visit to the Islamic holy site.

In a speech, Father Hanna talked about the importance of closing ranks, rejecting seditious acts, and working together to defend the Palestinian presence and steadfastness on the holy land.

“We reject all the occupation’s measures against the Aqsa Mosque and all our Christian and Islamic holy sites,” Father Hanna underlined.

“Jerusalem is the incubator of our national and human unity, and the holy land where religions meet. It is the holy city, which contains the most important Christian and Muslim holy shrines, and it is considered the title of our dignity, belonging and attachment to this holy land,” he 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.
