The President of the Republic of Macedonia, Dr. Gjorge Ivanov, sent a congratulation message to the Christian believers on the occasion of Christ’s Resurrection - Easter:

Celebrating these holidays, it is my special pleasure and honor to congratulate all Orthodox believers the Christian holiday, the holiest holiday of all, the Resurrection of Christ - Easter.

May you all spend Easter in happiness and prosperity, surrounded by the loved ones, filled with faith and immeasurable joy, celebrating Christ’s victory over the death. Easter as a holiday of light is an excellent opportunity, supported by God’s grace, to work on our spirituality, care and love for others. May Christ’s sacrifice for humanity be a guideline for doing good work, helping each other and compassion with all our fellow citizens regardless of their ethnic and religious affiliation.

Easter is a feast of victory of justice over violence. Holiday of eternal faith and hope.

Many happy returns of this holiday!
Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!
