His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has sent a message of greetings to His Beatitude Theodoros II, Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, on the occasion of the commemoration day of his patron saint.

Your Beatitude

Beloved in the Lord Brother and Concelebrant:

I cordially greet you on the occasion of your Name Day.

Over forty years ago, you committed yourself to the intercession of the great Protomartyr Theodore Tyron. Strengthened by the help of this saint of Christ, you stand before the Lord’s altar and preach peace to those who were far away and peace to those who are near (Eph. 2:17).

Prayerfully sharing your joy on this day, I wish you spiritual and physical strength and God’s abundant help in your further Patriarchal work.

With brotherly love in Christ,

+ Kirill

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia

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.
