Serbian Patriarch Porfirije congratulated Eid al-Fitr
12. May 2021 - 9:41
I consider it a blessing of God that I have been given the opportunity to send my heartfelt congratulations to the Muslim brothers, who live throughout our homeland, on the occasion of one of the greatest Islamic holidays - Eid al-Fitr, with the desire to celebrate it in joy, peace, love and well-being.
My joy is all the greater because I do the same thing that Saint Sava did in the thirteenth century, when he visited and made friends with the Caliph of Great Babylon, ie Baghdad, and the Sultan of Great Egypt, ie Cairo. Thus, Saint Sava pointed out to future generations of Orthodox Christians that they should build peace, cooperation and friendship with Muslims.
