H.R.H. Crown Prince Alexander II has sent today
his greetings to the brotherhood of Hilandar
Monastery on the occasion of the Monastery’s
Slava – Entrance of the Most Holy Thetokos into
the Temple.
“I am sending my greetings
today, when all Orthodox people celebrate the
Entrance of the Most Holy Thetokos into the
Temple, and when it is the Serbian Imperial
Laura’s on Mount Athos Slava. I wish you to
continue in peace and under protection of the
Most Holy Virgin Mary your mission to our Lord,
a mission which is of uppermost spiritual
importance for our faith.
I send my wishes from the
bottom of my heart that this Holy place, struck
by the indelible tragedy, rises again. You will
always be in my prayers for the resurrection and
recovery.
What for each Christian
believer the sacred name of the Most Holy Mother
of God means, this is for the Serbian people,
church and state the holy Monastery of Hilandar
on Mount Athos, in the Mother of God’s garden
and hearth of virtues and achievements.
Wishing that our holy Hilandar
Monastery will be a beacon of the Orthodox faith
through the Eternity, please accept my most
sincere greetings” – the Crown Prince has
stressed in his letter of greetings.
