The sermon of 79-year-old Kirill was posted on the website of the Moscow Patriarchate without any mention of his mistake
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church ( ROC ), Patriarch Kirill, addressed the faithful in a sermon on Maundy Thursday. But Gundyaev’s calendar seems to have failed, and he decided to congratulate Russians on the holiday of Epiphany (Baptism).
According to Meduza , the Russian priest didn’t notice the mistake for quite some time. He had been preaching a sermon about the importance of the Epiphany for about five minutes.
When he was presented with a book with open text, Patriarch Kirill corrected himself, saying: “And today we celebrate Holy Thursday.” He then continued his speech on the occasion of the current holiday.
The sermon by 79-year-old Kirill, who is a former KGB agent, was published on the Moscow Patriarchate website in an edited form. All references to the Epiphany were removed from the text.
Other statements from Russian representatives
The other day, former Russian President and current Secretary of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that his country should abandon its “tolerant attitude” towards Ukraine’s desire to join the European Union. According to him, the EU could turn into a military alliance and pose a threat to Russia.
Earlier, Medvedev lashed out at the US over the operation in Iran.
“…published on the Moscow Patriarchate website in an edited form.”
Thought control continues among the Moskali leadership.
“Medvedev lashed out at the US over the operation in Iran.”
Medvedev might be surprised by the number of other terrorist sympathizers that agree with him.
