Belarusian Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas

The European Radio for Belarus sincerely greets everyone on the Nativity of Christ and wishes a merry Christmas!
The day before the Methropolithan of Minsk and Slutsk Filaret addressed to the faithful with a traditional Christmas message. He said in it, in particular, that a person should start making his dream on the perfect home in his life come true with "determination to change oneself, settle his relations with close and far-away people, improve his relations with God according to the laws of the One who created his world, which we see and which we don't see - according to the laws of the Creator himself".

Filaret urged for "increased responsibility for these days' actions". "We are building our all-nations house and take care of its destiny in the frames of the all-Slavic, all-European and all-Human houses. It depends on the spiritual and civil quality of thousands and millions houses and families of our countrymen, on the beauty of our soles' temples and devotion of our hearts, what this all-nations house will be like", — stated in the message, according to BelaPAN.

Festive holy masses have started in all the churches of Belarus last night and continue today.
