A Romanian Orthodox priest has given land inherited from his family to build the St. Christopher Pediatric Palliative Care Center in Sânnicoară, Cluj County.
While welcoming the ceasefire, they acknowledged the continuing humanitarian crisis and called for “a rapid surge of food, clean water, fuel, medical supplies, and temporary shelters into the Gaza Strip” followed by rebuilding programs.
The Orthodox faithful must always flee to the prayerful intercessions of the Most Holy Theotokos, both in good times and bad, says His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev and All Ukraine.
The center has been working for over a decade to preserve ecclesiastical prints from the area, having already rescued and restored more than 60 books that were in critical condition.
More than 30,000 faithful gathered for the Divine Liturgy yesterday for the feast of St. Parascheva of Iași, celebrated by a synaxis of 27 hierarchs from four Local Orthodox Churches. The service was held on a specially prepared podium near the Metropolitan Cathedral in Iași, Romania.
