Message from His Eminence
Day Of Peace For Palestine – Israel

  Holy Icons 

» Is there anything better than the unity for a world peace? 
» Or is there any more essential demand for humanity than peace?
» Or are people everywhere in every time will dream of a better and secure future if there is no peace? 
» Is there any hope in bringing the different people to work and live together without peace?

As religious believers, from different denominations, it is up to us to carry the torch of love and peace, human rights and freedom, and to ensure that our message is going to the world, even if the ears of this world is closed, it is our responsibility according to the command of our Lord to teach and preach ceaselessly that man must take care of his/her human neighbour who is also created on His creator image and likeness.

These rules are intended for all Orthodox Christians, not just monks and nuns. The first week of Lent is especially strict. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a total fast is kept. In practice, very few people are able to do this. [Read More]
