Christmas greetings

Dear compatriots,

I wish you a Merry Christmas.

This bright holiday gives believers hope for spiritual salvation, teaches unconditional love and sacrifice in the name of their neighbor.

Christian compassion and care, simplicity and kindness long ago became the cultural legacy of the Belarusian people. We open our hearts to those who come with peace and are ready to share bread and shelter with those in need.

I am convinced that by preserving the Orthodox traditions of mercy and moral purity together we will create the best future for our dear Belarus.

May the Christmas Eve fill your homes with warmth, sincere feelings and mutual understanding. May the joy of these festive days inspire new creative achievements in the year ahead.

I wish you health, happiness and wellbeing.

Aleksandr Lukashenko
