    Greetings to all Christians of Belarus who celebrate Christmas on 7 January

    Dear compatriots,

    I wish you merry Christmas!

    Christmas draws us towards primordial spiritual values uniting millions of people. In today’s complex world Christmas remains a great, towering and exciting celebration that gives us confidence in the victory of ideals of humanism and justice.

    Christmas fills our hearts with hope and love, and our lives with sincere joy and good expectations. For a reason Christmas is the time when wishes come true, the time for charity and mercy. It is time when we pay special attention to those who need assistance, care and help.

    Christmas unites families, puts people in jubilant mood, brings peace and harmony to every family.May the warmth of love and friendship surround you and your loved ones. Let the moral power of the great holiday help you succeed in your boldest undertakings.

    I sincerely wish you strong health, optimism, happiness and wellbeing.

    Aleksandr Lukashenko
