Knowing that the Lord glorifies every righteous person, but also caresses, loves every sinner, expecting that everyone will come into his arms, he gives life to everyone", he said. is patriarch, reports RTS.
The Patriarch said that the joyful greeting "Christ is Risen" reveals the very meaning of life, because, as he pointed out, the Lord sent an important word - not to be afraid.

And that is the fear of death," said the Serbian patriarch in front of a large number of believers from all over Kosovo and Metohija.
