Podgorica: Cathedral Church, a place of forgiveness and reconciliation

The Cathedral Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica is a place of forgiveness and reconciliation and in this way the best contribution of Montenegro to the celebration of the jubilee of the Edict of Milan, from which the principle of religious freedom  was derived and proclaimed around the world, as it was emphasized at the spiritual academy in Podgorica last night. 

The spiritual academy was attended by primates of the Orthodox Churches led by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, church dignitaries, representatives of other Christian Churches and traditional religious communities and members of the Honorary Board of celebration led by President of Montenegro Mr. Filip Vujanovic. His Eminence Amfilohije, Archbishop of Cetinje and Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral pointed out in solemn speech that the Cathedral church of the Resurrection of Christ, which construction had begun two decades ago, represented a call for forgiveness and reconciliation in Montenegro. 

After speeches of Metropolitan Amfilohije and President Vujanovic a rich cultural program took place, in which performes from Montenegro, Serbia, Russia and Greece participated. The whole program ended with the splendid fireworks above the Cathedral church and the capital.
