Patriarch's Message to the faithful at the beginning of the the Dormition Fast - Social media are a roof from which we convey the Word of God to all
16. August 2021 - 9:08
Brothers and sisters,
Dear friends,
I felt obliged to address you now, first of all, to wish the Orthodox a blessed beginning of fasting dedicated to the Most Holy Mother of God and the glorious event of Her Dormition, that is, the end of her earthly life and her taking up into Heaven. I wish you to spend the next ten days, as much as possible, in peace, to joyfully celebrate the upcoming feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, and to pray for your neighbors, for our family and the whole world to the Most Holy Mother of God whose soul is, as shown in the magnificent fresco of Sopocani, in the hands of her beloved Son, the Savior of the world.
