Patriarch: It's a difficult time, these difficulties concern not only politics but also the church

It’s a difficult time, these difficulties concern not only politics but also the church, but I hope God will heal this weakness, – the Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia Ilia II said at the traditional Sunday prayer at the Holy Trinity Cathedral of Georgia.

Ilia II spoke about the significance of sacred mountain monasteries. The Patriarch greeted the Head of the Lavra of Athanasius the Great, who has attended the church service within the visit to Georgia.

Head of the Lavra of Athanasius the Great thanked Ilia II and the parish for warm reception.
