Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ Kirill congratulated Pope Francis on Christmas. The congratulations are reported on the website of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate.
The patriarch, as noted, also sent his congratulations to the heads of non-Orthodox churches that celebrate Christmas on December 25 according to the Gregorian calendar.
No official congratulations are planned at the state level. “There is no such protocol practice,” said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the head of state, answering a relevant question.
As for the celebration in confessional-mixed families, the pastors encourage people to share the joy of the holidays in every possible way.
