Congratulations of the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee
Dear residents of the Vitebsk region!
I congratulate you on the bright holiday of the Resurrection of Christ! The role of Orthodoxy is invariably important in the spiritual and moral education of society, the promotion of eternal values among youth, and the strengthening of peace and humanism on earth.
The holiday of Easter serves to unite people around the ideals of mercy and love, and testifies to the triumph of faith in Salvation. Love, kindness, and forgiveness bring joy and happiness to people.
The symbol of the Resurrection of Christ, based on the unity of peoples, love for one's neighbor, and respect for the Fatherland, leads us to spiritual renewal.
May this triumph be a call for us to strive to live in harmony and respect for each other, to work conscientiously, to help those in need of care and attention, to preserve peace on earth, and to follow the eternal evangelical truths.
On the eve of this Great Day, I wish you strong health, happiness, well-being, and goodness, and inexhaustible spiritual and physical strength.
May the Easter days bring love and the joy of meeting with relatives and friends to your homes!
Sincerely,
Nikolai Sherstnev,
Chairman of the Vitebsk
