Orthodox Serbs mark Good Friday

Irinej "urged the faithful to pray that peace may return to everywhere where it has been expelled from; first of all, to our hearts and into our homes."

He urged the faithful to pray for their brothers and sisters in Kosovo and Metohija who celebrated "the victory of good over evil and of life over death" together with them on Easter.

The patriarch said that "the true freedom of man is the one freedom that frees him from the tyranny of transience and death."

Pointing to "man's eternal responsibility for conception and procreation," he urged for preservation of the sanctity of marriage, which was "the foundation of a sublime, healthy and virtuous Christian family."

The Patriarch and the bishops called on the believers from all continents to show unity and harmony in protecting the unity of the Holy Church of Christ.

"True values"

On the holiday of hope and the symbol of faith in the future, we should remember the true values, Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said in his message on occasion of Easter.

"We live in a time full of challenges and temptations - I want us to remember the true values on Easter - the holiday of hope and the symbol of faith in future - to dedicate ourselves to family, mutual respect, love, peace and unity, as only that can make us better people so that we may expect good for ourselves by doing good to others," a statement from the presidential press office quoted Nikolic as saying.
