Congratulations from the Head of Crimea Sergei Aksenov on the Epiphany

Congratulations to Orthodox Christians on the great holiday of Epiphany!

It is dedicated to the most important gospel event — the Lord Jesus Christ received Baptism in the waters of the Jordan from the Prophet and Forerunner John.

Today’s holiday turns us to the eternal meanings and thousand-year-old spiritual traditions of Orthodoxy. According to our Patriarch, the event of Epiphany, the coming of the Lord into the world, should give each of us enormous spiritual strength, the ability to overcome the difficulties of our lives, because He is with us, which means we always have a Protector.

Let communion with the great shrine — Epiphany water — be for each of us not just a pious custom, but also a real touch of Divine grace, which will help us strengthen our faith and our unity, get rid of ailments — spiritual and physical, and do good deeds.

And may there always be a place in our hearts for mercy and forgiveness, for joy and love! — says the congratulations from the Head of the Republic.
