Dear Ukrainians!

This year’s Easter is not a usual one. Our country is engulfed in war, and instead of Holiday bells, residents of many towns and villages hear sirens. In churches, people hide from enemy bombs and missiles.

But God hears the prayers of those who believe from everywhere. Easter comes to our homes despite all the difficulties! Not only as a sign of renewal and resurrection, but also as a symbol of hope and victory of good over evil. A symbol of true and unwavering Faith.

Today, this Faith is kept by Ukrainian defenders, the military, volunteers, doctors, rescuers - each of us.

Our joint efforts are bringing Ukraine’s Victory closer. After all, light always overcomes darkness, and life overcomes death!

May this Easter bring only good news for our indomitable Homeland, which will surely defeat the enemy.

Peace to all of us! God’s Blessing to Ukraine, reliable protection to our soldiers and to all people of Ukraine! God is with us, and so will be Victory!

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
