Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter

The head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Irinej, said during his Easter Sunday speech that for Serbs, Kosovo and Metohija are the spiritual cradle. He wished that peace and freedom return to the area but warned that the entire world is facing many troubles, terrorism and war.

"Let us hug each other! Not only those who love us, let us hug our enemies with our love too!” the patriarch appealed. “Let us forgive because the Lord has forgiven our sins at the Cross,” he said.
