MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF BELARUS ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO TO THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS OF BELARUS

Dear compatriots!

I sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas.

This bright holiday gives believers hope for spiritual salvation, teaches boundless love and sacrifice in the name of their neighbor.

Christian compassion and care, simplicity and goodwill have long become the cultural heritage of the Belarusian people. We open our hearts to those who come in peace, and we ourselves are ready to share bread and shelter with those in need.

I am convinced that by preserving the Orthodox traditions of mercy and moral purity, together we will create the best future for our native Belarus.

May Christmas Eve fill your homes with warmth, sincerity of feelings and mutual understanding, and may the joy of these holidays inspire you to new creative achievements in the coming year.

I wish everyone health, happiness and prosperity.

Alexander Lukashenko,

President of the Republic of Belarus
