Bulgarian Patriarch Neophyte will conduct tonight’s Easter divine liturgy at the St. Alexander Nevski cathedral. Earlier, the Bulgarian Patriarchate published the Paschal epistle which he will read out from the pulpit.
“Today when the trials facing Christians and the whole of humanity have increased enormously, when we are living in increasing insecurity and fear, when natural calamities and military conflicts condemn hundreds and millions to exile and privation, when innumerable human lives are lost, the heavy sense of helplessness is growing stronger. Our inability as human beings to live in lasting peace and grace, in mutual understanding and mutual assistance, the absence of compassion and mercy in our relations with one another, and the unwillingness to do God’s holy and perfect will – all this is more and more visibly shaping the modern world and threatening to deprive us of the assurance in the very meaning of our lives and existence,” the message reads.
The Bulgarian church delegation which will bring the Holy Fire from Jerusalem is expected to arrive at Sofia Airport between 7 and 7.30 PM.
