By the grace of God, His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph and more than 20 clergy and lay delegates from the Antiochian Archdiocese arrived safely in St. Petersburg, Russia today, as they begin their two-week piligrimage in the “city of Peter,” Moscow and other cities. They were warmly welcomed by His Grace Bishop Mitrophan of Gatchina and Lugsky and other dignitaries.
The pilgrimage will include visits to the most beautiful cathedrals, monasteries and national heritage sites Russia has to offer. The highlight for Sayidna Joseph and the delegation will be their scheduled participation in the festivities with His Holiness Patriach Kirill of Moscow and all Russia in honor of his patron saint’s day on May 24.
Follow the pilgrims each day on Antiochian.org and the Archdiocese’s Facebook page for photos and stories of their voyage.

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.
