Lukashenko congratulates Metropolitan Veniamin on Easter

The President of Belarus has extended congratulations to Metropolitan Veniamin of Minsk and Zaslavl, Patriarchal Exarch of All Belarus

Your Eminence!

I heartily congratulate you on the Resurrection of Christ.

Easter is the most important holiday in the life of every Christian. It repeatedly teaches us love and mercy, helps us cherish faith and honour the history of our nation. This is a time of special joy, unity, and mutual support.

Your wise arch-priest word is also always aimed at protecting the weak and deprived, reminds us of the need to respect the elderly, care for loved ones, and educate young people in the spirit of patriotism and family values.

May the bright joy of this great holiday become for you, Your Eminence, a source of tremendous spiritual strength for further selfless service in the name of Orthodoxy, for the benefit of Belarus and our people.

I sincerely wish you good health and successes in all your good deeds.

With deep respect,

President of the Republic of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko
