In his Christmas epistle, the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) Patriarch Irinej told Kosovo Serbs to be persistent and to stay in their homes. Irinej said that the spiritual peace was disquieted and “overshadowed with fear and worry about everyday events in the world, and especially because of the tragic events in our crucified Kosovo”. Patriarch calls on Serbs to stay in Kosovo “We counsel our dear faithful flock, the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, to be persistent and to stay in their homesteads, with their Church and their holy shrines, in the land of their ancestors,” Irinej pointed out. He told the Serbs that the church was always with them and that it always would be. “Without suffering there is no resurrection. May our Lord be our measure even in our suffering,” the patriarch noted and whished a merry Christmas. Irinej pointed out that every day we faced temptations, misfortune and suffering, caused by others but also by ourselves. “Afflictions in our homes, suffering in schools, cities and villages, suffering in different countries and between nations, attest to a deep division in the world, a division which cannot be overcome with human efforts,” he pointed out. The patriarch added that it seemed that chaos was the originator and basis of our society but that “chaos is actually present only where a consciousness about the true measure of everything and everybody is lost, and that measure is love”.
