May 24 is the name-day of His Holiness, Patriarch Kirill. The Editors of Pravmir cordially congratulate His Holiness, wishing him God’s help in all, strength, health, and long, long years!
On this day, we do not want to draw readers’ attention to the ceremonial site of His Holiness’ life – not to official photographs from services, meetings, and receptions – but rather to those moments that are normally behind the scenes at media events.
