the details of obtaining a permit. that is, this is such a one-time action. but we are hoping and we are even slowly gathering information about whether this will become a good tradition. we are now returning to the broadcast

loving christ was born, most reverend bishops, all honest fathers, dear brothers and sisters, there are no truly worthy and fulfilling words with which we can now express our gratitude to the almighty god for his great mercy it was revealed to us that today in this house of the most holy theotokos in the cathedral church of the pechersk lavra we solemnly glorified the

nativity of our savior, the lord jesus christ , with a divine liturgy more than two decades ago, the shrine was restored from the ruins as a gift of the ukrainian people to the anniversary of the 2000th anniversary of the birth of christ, and now we are celebrating, as it were, the second birth of this cathedral church and our pechersk lavra itself, because from them the artificial spirit of the unholy teaching of the russian world is leaving and the spirit is returning of true spiritual service to holy orthodoxy and the ukrainian people, our gratitude is great to the most holy mistress of the mother of god, the home and work of which is this sacred place, this year marks 950 years since the time when

in advance, she herself called the builders for the construction of the cathedral of the pecherska monastery and sent them from tsargorod to kyiv so that a church would grow here above the bank of the dnieper of the new jordan, which contemporaries of construction rightly called similar to heaven . ukraine and the mother church of constantinople and the fullness of orthodoxy, we have now renewed by mentioning in prayer the ecumenical patriarch bartholomew and the heads of the autocephalous local orthodox churches, because it is from tsargorod the light of evangelical preaching was brought to us from the abodes of saint athos

, our venerable father antony brought to these mountains a blessing to create an abode on the model of the best monasteries of the ecumenical patriarchate . we believe and feel that today the venerable fathers of pechersk, led by the great luminaries of piety anthony and theodosius , are rejoicing with us in prayer rejoice in heaven saint hilarion, the first born of dew on the kyiv metropolitan throne, and the ascetic who began his service here, as well as the princes of kyiv, saint volodymyr saint peter the great and wise yaroslav the wise rejoices, archimandrite of pechersk and metropolitan of kyiv and all russia , by whose labors the lavra was renewed and shone as a lamp

of theology and science of beautiful writing and printing . in the north, political orthodoxy and at one time took real steps towards reconciliation between the orthodox and overcoming church divisions , illness and the insidious actions of ill-wishers did not allow him to complete many good affairs and initiatives, but now the spiritual unity of the ukrainian church is confirmed, which he thought about at that time, the exact joyful day has come that the pechersk lavra is taking confident steps to once again, as at the present time, serve the preaching of the peace of god and not the russian peace, to be a

true house of prayer, to serve the ukrainian people for an example of piety , piety and good deeds, we owe it to the wide social support we thank all of you, dear brothers and sisters, to everyone who dreamed of ukrainian prayer in this holy place for his liberation from the captivity of the russian world, your prayers and your citizen's position supported our state, they made a simple but completely faithful decision, gradually, peacefully, but irreversibly, we will all work together to make the name of lavra more popular among outsiders because of the seductive behavior of those who forgot about the calling to be humble workers in god's vineyard and not arrogant boyars

in the middle of their alleged patrimony today, on this solemn day of christmas, when 4 years ago in kyiv, for the first time, the tomos on the autocephaly of the orthodox church of ukraine was publicly presented. i want to remind that the belonging to it of the orthodox faithful in our state of orthodox communities and monasteries is their canonical duty. so , as then and now, we again call for the doors of our church to be open. we want to achieve the unity of all orthodox around the kiev throne around the autocephalous fluid church of ukraine one by one of equal and equal autocephalous church systems of ecumenical orthodoxy, which on ukrainian

soil carries out its service to its native people without any external control, intervention or force, as the sacred archimandrite of the kiev-pechers lavra, i also appeal to the good of that monastery, the time has come to finally free yourself from the non-canonical control over you by moscow and its servants to follow tomo to start a new page of the existence of the lavra. the good that truly constitutes the thousand-year-old tradition of the pechersk monastery may continue its existence and flourish, multiplying saving fruits, and let everything else that needs purification be purified by with the help of god and our joint efforts,

there is no doubt that we owe the present joyful event to the courage of the ukrainian army. we asked for the approach of victory and the establishment of a just peace for ukraine, and we sincerely hope and will work so that such a true and heartfelt prayer for ukraine for the president and state power for the army for the entire ukrainian people was heard here every day , but on behalf of the state volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskiy, we are grateful to the leadership of the government and, in particular, the ministry of culture represented

by minister oleksandr tkachenko and the national reserve, as well as the corresponding state service for their assistance in fulfilling our request and realizing the dream of millions of ukrainians to oppose the destructive and heretic ideology of russky peace, which is the cornerstone of my justification for russian aggression against ukraine, is our common cause with you. by joining forces, we will be able to protect our the people from the kremlin's hybrid aggression is the fruit and victorious, as it happens on other fronts of the struggle, military, diplomatic , informational and economic. dear brothers and

sisters . it is true that we were able to realize many dreams of the tasks facing us now and before the spiritual renewal of this glorious abode and regarding the unity of the church and regarding the victory over the aggressor and establishing a long, just peace is not easy, but we believe that this work will also be successful, because on our side, on the side of the ukrainian people, there is truth, and in truth and with truth, god almighty , you give us victory once again and once again i congratulate all of you, all the orthodox faithful and all of ukraine from the world merry christmas to ukrainians, and i wish that the new year will be a year of victory and peace, amen, christ was born, and i
