Dmitry Medvedev wished Orthodox Christians, and all Russians, a happy Christmas

The congratulatory address reads: “For centuries this celebration has been an inextinguishable light of faith, hope and love for people. At this time our thoughts turn to all those enduring values which lie at the foundation of Christian civilisation as a whole, and which nourish orthodox culture. The celebration of Christmas brings harmony, kind thoughts, mercy and mutual respect into our lives.

Today the Russian Orthodox Church, and indeed the followers of other Christian confessions help the needy, take care of their families and children, as they also care for the moral health of society, and the strengthening of moral foundations. I am certain that continuous attention to these most important questions will allow the spiritual renaissance and renewal of Russia in the future.”

The President and his spouse attended a Christmas service that was held in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
