“This holiday is filled with love for God, righteousness, and compassion. It inspires deeds of mercy and calls for peace and harmony. Christmas fills our souls with joy and gives us hope for the fulfillment of coveted wishes,” reads the message of greetings from Aleksandr Lukashenko to Orthodox Christians.
