PSD President Marcel Cholaku reports that he spent several days on the Holy Mount Athos to pray “for our health and the health of all our compatriots”. “I lived many blessed moments in this place, which is the most valuable treasure of Orthodoxy,” he says. Čolaka was accompanied on this pilgrimage by PSD General Secretary Paul Stanescu.

“During Holy Week, I spent several days on the Holy Mount Athos to pray for our health and that of all our brothers. I lived many blessed moments in this place, which is the most precious treasure of Orthodoxy, but the biggest impression on me was the Romanian monks who dedicated their lives to Christ in the Romanian sanctuaries that have existed for hundreds of years in these holy places”, Marcel Colacu wrote about this on Facebook on Sunday.

He noted that he met with several priests. “The meeting with the icon of Father Jacob from the Athos cell of St. Tikhon, with Father Daniel or with the servants of God from the Romanian Skete of Prodrom or from the Romanian cells of the Holy Great Martyr George and St. Hypatius were moments of great joy, but also of pride. for all that the Romanian Church has achieved over time. Also, I was with Abbot Efrem in the Vatopedsk monastery at the feast of the veneration of the icon of the Mother of God Yeleovrytisna (Myrotochiva). From here I want to wish everyone who bears the name of the holy great martyr George, the Victorious, the best thoughts of health, happiness and well-being. Happy birthday to the soldiers of the Ground Forces of the Romanian Army!”.
