Holy Cincture of the Theotokos Arrives in Voluntari, Romania

One of the most revered Christian shrines, the Belt of the Holy Mother of God has finally arrived at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. More than 40 thousand believers welcome the relict. The service was conducted by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill.
People started queueing the day before and those who were able to enter the cathedral are absolutely happy now.
The belt was brought from the Vatopedi monastery on Mount Athos in Greece. More than two million believers have come to bow to the Belt of the Holy Mother of God since it was brought to Russia from Mount Athos a month ago.

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.
