The Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, His Holiness Kirill, called the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as possibly a final warning for humanity.
As of Thursday, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church is in voluntary quarantine, after coming into contact with a confirmed coronavirus infection.
His Holiness noted that “…the primary conclusion we can draw from this malady, which is afflicting all of humanity, is that such incidents cannot occur without Divine Providence. This is a powerful, and possibly, last summons for all of us.”
