Pope Greets Christians On Easter, Urges Them Not To Forget About Ukraine
That's according to Vatican News , Ukrinform reports.
"With great affection, I offer my best wishes to our brothers and sisters in the Orthodox Churches and various Eastern Catholic Churches who celebrate the Holy Pasch today, in accordance with the Julian calendar," the pontiff said on Sunday.
Pope Francis also took the occasion, once again, to ask for continued prayers for "tormented" Ukraine, and for Palestine and Israel – and specifically, that "dialogue may be strengthened and bear good fruit."
"No to war!" he exclaimed. "Yes to dialogue!"
On Sunday, May 5, Orthodox and Greek Catholics celebrate one of the most significant holidays of the year - Easter or the Resurrection of Christ.
