A video about the celebration of Holy Easter in all the dioceses of our Exarchate was released on the Soyuz TV channel
The celebration of Holy Pascha is the most important celebration for all the children of the Russian Church. And not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. Solemn services were also held in all the dioceses of the Patriarchal Exarchate of South-East Asia, and there are four of them – Singapore, Korea, Thailand and Philippine-Vietnamese. This is more than 60 parishes. The geography of the Exarchate covers 13 countries spanning 5 time zones. And these days, just like in Russia, parishioners of local Orthodox churches greet each other with the sacred saving words “Christ is Risen!” – of course, in different languages.
