The Metropolitan Bishop of Chisinau and all Moldova Vladimir came before the MPs with a message before Easter. His Holiness called on the MPs to show solidarity for the sake of the country’s interests. He also brought a Bible as a gift, IPN reports.

“It is several days left until the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Week, which is a period for profound reflection. Now more than ever each Christian is a propagator of their faith by deeds and the knowledge they share with those who are close to them,” said His Holiness Vladimir.

The Orthodox Church of Moldova always pleaded for understanding. “We consider it is now important to concentrate our efforts on the acute problems faced by the country. The Orthodox Church of Moldova makes a maximum effort to be near those who lack parental warmth, offering them presents and consolation. We realize that our possibilities are limited, but are firmly convinced that together with the state and civil society, we will be able to do much more,” said the Metropolitan Bishop, urging not forgoing about the families in need, those with many children and the persons with disabilities as they should feel safe.

The Metropolitan Bishop of Chisinau and all Moldova Vladimir informed that the Holy Fire will be brought to Moldova for the 13th consecutive year. He thanked those who helped convey it to the Moldovan Christians.

His Holiness Vladimir invited the MPs to the Easter service that will be held at the Metropolitan Cathedral in central Chisinau in the evening of April 11.
