The Patriarch of All Romania, His Beatitude Daniel, on Wednesday reminded in his sermon, on the occasion of the Feast of the Annunciation that the Theotokos, the Virgin Mary, is a source of great comfort and strength during these trying times.
His Beatitude noted that “… The Virgin Mary has the heart of a mother… She is the protector of children, parents and monks in monasteries; She is the protector of the poor, the sick and those in grief”.
Schools in the southeast European country remain closed for 30 days, following a decision by the Romanian government. On its part, the Patriarchate of Romania will broadcast religious lessons for pupils daily via the Trinitas television station.
