- The meaning and fullness of life comes from the tomb of Christ, because the grave is not the last thing the Lord passes through. The grave is really the transition from death to life, and of course human logic has no explanation. That's why different people have tried to explain the mystery of the victory of life over death - that someone stole the body and that it was the bribed guards - but there is no such logic, that reason and intelligence that has its beginning and its end in this world. In history that can comprehend the mystery. The instrument to comprehend the mystery of life, joy, beauty, wholeness, truth and justice is faith, a faith that encompasses our whole being, mind, heart and body, a faith that permeates every fiber of our existence," said Patriarch Porphyrios.
At the end of the Holy Liturgy, the dear guest from the sister Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Barsonufije, presented Patriarch Porfirije, and through him, and the entire fullness of the Serbian Orthodox Church, with the following gift To the Orthodox Church a great gift and blessing - the particles of the relics of St.. Lazarus of the Fourth Day and the Holy Fathers of Kiev-Pechersk.
