The clergy of the Simferopol and Crimean diocese, teachers and students of the Tauride Theological Seminary, employees of the diocesan administration heartily congratulate Metropolitan Lazar of Simferopol and Crimean on his birthday.
May the All-Merciful Lord keep you, helping you in the difficult field of archpastoral ministry for the glory of the Mother Church! You, dear Vladyka, are our good shepherd, leading us, his flock, to the Kingdom of Heaven. We wish you good health of your soul and body, many strengths, patience, strength, spiritual vigor for many and good years , — says the appeal, on the website of the diocese.
The Head of the Crimea Sergey Aksyonov joined the congratulations.
Vladyka’s life is an example of worthy and selfless service to the Church and society. It is impossible to overestimate his contribution to the revival of Orthodoxy in Crimea, to the preservation of traditional values, interethnic and interfaith peace and harmony on the Crimean land. Thanks to the efforts and prayers of Vladyka, churches are being built, ancient monasteries are being revived, spiritual life is being renewed, spiritual education is being developed, and charitable projects are being implemented. Cooperation between the Government of the Republic of Crimea and the Simferopol and Crimean diocese covers various areas and brings good results. We proudly and lovingly call His Eminence Lazarus “our Vladyka” and carefully listen to his pastoral word, Sergey Aksyonov noted.
