Your Holiness!
Bless to address you on the day of All Saints that brightened the Russian land, and bring to your Holiness our filial greetings on the feast, uniting all Russians in the Russian land, from the Carpathian Ruthenia in the heart of Europe to the Russian Alaska! Ancient Orthodox Ruthenian nation, being part of the Great Moravia and the Bulgarian Kingdom, was among the first to adopt the pure Eastern Orthodox faith, and the Slavic-Russian writing from the hands of Cyril and Methodius and their disciples. Thereafter Subcarpathian Ruthenians participated in the future baptism of the Russian land.
