Orthodox Church Celebrates Day of cross worship today. Liturgies, regarding the day, will be delivered at churches.

“Now, three weeks have passed after starting theLent. Today, we celebrate Day of cross worship. We must once again think  that the cross that we bear is given to us by the Lord. But it is unbearably difficult when a person himself takes the cross. In fact, the Lord gives us the cross and the cross is an ordeal. When the Lord gives the cross at the same time gives us the power to bear it. Some people are so strong that they carry the cross of others. Some people are so strong that they carry the cross of the nation, but the Lord helps them, the Lord saves, gives the strength, ” – the Patriarch said.
