epiphany eve, that is, until january 18th. at christmas time, as a sign of spiritual triumph and universal joy, weekly fasting days and prostrations are canceled. as i have already said, christmas time or holy evenings will last until epiphany eve, which, by the way, in ancient times, christmas and the baptism of god were celebrated by the church on the same day, as a holiday, the appearance of god to the world is his incarnation and the savior's exit to public service to preach his teachings. after being baptized by john the baptist in the jordan river but over time, the holidays were separated in time and began to be celebrated on december 25 and january 6, respectively, according

to the old style. that is, sit rumor and january 19, according to the accepted. as a time of year on these holidays, especially people are called to shine the holiday with good deeds. our history knows many examples of truly christian celebration of the holy christmas days, when all people, regardless of social status and material wealth, could share the joy of the nativity of christ together with everyone. now the message of patriarch

kirill of moscow and all russia will be announced archpastor pastors, to monastics and all faithful children of the russian orthodox church mikhail ryazantsev announces the loss of the key to the cathedral of christ the savior the christmas message of patriarch kirill of moscow and all russia archpastor pastor deacon monastic and all faithful children of the russian orthodox church beloved archpastors o lord all the honest presbyters of diana, god-loving nuns, dear brothers and sisters, now, when the heavenly earthly church in conciliar unity glorifies god incarnate i cordially congratulate you all on the great holy feast of the nativity of our lord and savior jesus christ

today we again turn our mental gaze to the events that took place more than 2,000 years ago in bethlehem, we look at a meek baby lying in a manger surrounded by the most pure mother of the righteous joseph and shepherds, who were the first to hear the news of the savior's coming to earth, and second to the barren forces glorifying the creator above through their only begotten son. who gave peace and goodwill to people. st. gregory the theologian, revealing the essence of the whole feast, testified to our triumph and the coming of god to man, so that we could return to god. we have not truly

come close to us. in the kingdom of heaven, in fulfillment of ancient prophecies, the long-awaited mediator came to earth, a baby was born to us, a son, god gave us them, the strong father of eternity, the prince of peace, the world. my giving to you is not the way the world gives. i give you christ speaking to us. what kind of world is this, which the lord gave to man and which was brought up by angels at the moment of the birth of the savior has there been less hostility or conflicts on earth since then, we hear peace from everywhere, and there is still no peace according to the word of the prophet, but the true peace of god that descended to earth with the nativity of christ is beyond all mind. he does not depend on external

circumstances and is not subject to sorrows and the deprivation of temporary life, this irresistible inner world is enclosed in god himself, who became a man like us in everything, except for sin, is no longer just active in our history, but is visibly present in it now words became flesh and dwells with us full of grace of truth. the lord is near, my dear ones , let's never forget about it and let's not lose heart in him, our strength is our strong hope and spiritual comfort in all circumstances of life. bowing before the humble majesty of the miracle of the god of the incarnation and glorifying the savior who came into the world, we cannot but be

alarmed by the military events taking place today, darkening the holy christmas celebration, for, as the apostle notes, does one member suffer, all members suffer with it? in these trials that befell the peoples of historical russia , it is especially important for us to confirm our loyalty to our christian vocation and show love for each other. it sometimes seems to us that goodness is weak and defenseless from our little effort. little depends. however, it is not. there is an immutable spiritual principle that love multiplies when we give ourselves to others, when we donate our time to our neighbor, helping them with material means or simply giving him our

attention, then we not only transform the world around, but also acquire something very valuable inside yourself. this is not difficult, but effective spiritual law is the secret of true peace and true happiness, which every person so strives for. this happiness is not far away, as some people believe, chasing the ghostly illusions of material wealth and without a sad life. real happiness lies in sharing love and joy with those around us and doing good deeds to glorify god who became incarnate so that we have life and have it in abundance when we let christ into our hearts and let it work in us,

blessed peace and tranquility reign in our souls. and we become partakers of the kingdom of god, which is within us. we want to hug the lord who was born, then we will hug the grieving and comfort the suffering, we want to touch christ and, like the wise men of the east, bring gifts that are pleasant to god to the baby . as you did it to one of my younger brothers, you did it to me the savior testifies. christmas night brings peace and silence to the universe, exclaims st. ephraim the syrian, with boldness continues this night belongs to the

meek, therefore, let everyone put aside fury and severity. now the day of mercy has dawned. yes, no one pursues, vengeance is inflicted on him, insults, the day of joy has come. let no one be the cause of sorrow and sorrow for another. let us listen to these amazing words of the syrian prophet of the wilderness and open our hearts to the lord incarnate for us, let us rejoice, for the king and lord himself universe, meekly came to earth to give us salvation and eternal life. we, with gratitude, responding to the creator's great love for people, will illuminate our souls with patient enduring trials, warm prayer and good deeds for the glory of god. once again i

congratulate all of you, my dear ones, on the bright holiday of the nativity of christ, i wish you unfailing joy and prosperity to your homes and families, strength of strength and generous help from god, the baby jesus, the philanthropic creator, the true lord of history. may he bow his mercy to the peoples of holy russia and bless us all with peace. so that together we could glorify the incarnate savior with one heart and convincingly testify that god is with us. kirill patriarch of moscow and all russia nativity of christ 2022-22023, moscow, this

christmas message of patriarch kirill is now being read out in all the churches of the russian orthodox church. meanwhile, communion of the laity begins in the temple, the royal doors open. for the first time during today's worship, the king of kings and the lord of lords pass through them. invisible, but real, present in the holy gifts, this explains the name of the main entrance to the altar of the royal choice. lord , i confess i truly believe that christ is the son of the living god, who came into the sinful world to save. from them, the first is the first, and i stir it like a yoke. your most pure body shines. the most honest blood. your little one would have mercy on me and forgive us my sins free involuntarily. i'm the word. i'm business. i am

knowledge and ignorance. confess me without condemnation, partake of your most pure mysteries. in insertion of my sins and in life forever evening. your secret actions not god's communicant communicants heaven is your enemy's secret. don’t kiss these ladies like judas, but like a thief, confessing the chan, remember the name, lord in your kingdom. may it not be judgment or retribution for me to receive communion of your holy mysteries, lord, but you heal the soul and body .
