Family Holiness Day celebrated in Georgia

19 May 2020
В Грузии отметили День святости семьи

After the week-long celebrations of the Feast of Georgia as the inheritance of the Most Holy Theotokos, on May 17, the Day of the Holiness of the Family was held in the country. In his Sunday sermon, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II said: “We pray that our families will be strong, Christian and believers. Where faith is true, there is joy, there is love. '

After the end of Sunday services in churches, the clergy of the Georgian Orthodox Church, with the blessing of its Primate, drove around Tbilisi in cars, reading prayers, sprinkling the streets with holy water and blessing the faithful. The solemn procession was broadcast live by many national TV companies.

Family Holiness Day has been celebrated in the country since 2013. On this day, especially many weddings take place in the churches of Tbilisi, other cities and villages of Georgia. The celebration was established at the initiative of the Georgian Patriarch to support traditional Christian values - in contrast to the declaration of May 17 as 'the international day against homophobia, transphobia and zoophobia.'

The ratio of the overwhelming number of residents
Georgia to the propaganda of sin and various kinds of deviations - traditionally negative, and
in that sense, the Church of Georgia is in full solidarity with the people of the republic. Catholicos Patriarch
Elijah II in his speech on the Day of the Holiness of the Family
again noted that Georgia will be firm in the Orthodox faith - this is its fate and reward
from the Lord God.
