is still Christmas!
Today January 7, some Orthodox patriarchs, who follow the Julian Calendar celebrate Christmas. This is true of the Russian Patriarchate Moscow and Copts in Egypt.
I went to the front of Notre Dame of Paris where the Coptic community gathered in Paris to pray for the victims of the terrible attack of Alexandria and was in communion with our Orthodox friends in the joy of Christmas and the birth of Jesus, but also the pain of those who mourn the loss of relatives or friends.
J 'was there in November in Alexandria on the occasion of the international training session and will return in February for the first pilgrimage of the 40 th anniversary of Faith and Light ; Friendships created Faith and Light are those that last and that will not stop before the tests, so my friendship and my prayers are with all of today we must build peace, and there days where the path may seem long and difficult ... The mystery of Christmas reminds us that the incarnation of our God, become fragile to support our weaknesses, become weak to accompany our weakness, is a tremendous source of hope! So let us rejoice with the angels and the shepherds: "Glory to God and on earth peace to men of good will!"
