Dear Brothers in Christ,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the decease of the Primate of your Holy Church – Metropolitan Nikolai of the Czech Lands and Slovakia. Metropolitan Nikolai was an ardent archpastor of the flock of Christ. He was tied with the Russian Orthodox Church with bonds of longstanding fraternal communication.

I pray to All-Merciful God about the repose of the late Primate in the dwellings of the righteous.

With love in Christ,

Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad
