Russian President Vladimir Putin wishes Merry Christmas
CrimeaPRESS reports:
Vladimir Putin congratulated Orthodox Christians, all Russian citizens celebrating the Nativity of Christ.
The President’s message, in particular, says:
One of the most beloved, long-awaited Christian holidays unites millions of people around the ideals of goodness, mercy and justice. These unshakable values play a special role in the history of our country; for centuries they have served as a reliable spiritual and moral support for society.
It is important that the Russian Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations in Russia make a huge inspiring contribution to preserving our rich historical and cultural heritage, strengthening the institution of the family, and the patriotic education of the younger generation. And of course, the efforts of religious organizations aimed at supporting our heroes — participants in the special military operation, residents of Donbass and Novorossiya — deserve deep, sincere respect.
I wish Orthodox Christians, everyone who celebrates the Nativity of Christ, health, success, and prosperity.
On Christmas night, the head of state attended a service in the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands in Novo-Ogaryovo. Together with the head of state, the families of military personnel who died in the Northern Military District came to the service. The day before, on Christmas Eve, the President met with them at a residence near Moscow.
