Belgrade, October 26, Interfax - The Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society will open a Russian school in Damascus.

“The foundation of a Russian school will be laid down in Damascus before the end of 2015,” Sergey Stepashin, chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, said.

“The construction of the school will be funded solely using the money provided by the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society,” he said.

Stepashin recalled that “once there were some forty Russian schools in Syria.”

“Now we should revive this tradition,” 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.
