The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church greeted the audience from the stage, saying: \u201cIt has become a good tradition to gather in the Red Square to ponder over\u00a0 the sources of our culture and of the long, dramatic and victorious path traversed by the Slavic nations, including the Russians.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very important to remember the sources, as there would be no path without them, to remember our parents and our childhood, to know the history of our country and culture. We see ourselves as one nation when we are united by one language and common moral and spiritual values, on which human life is based.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow good it is that we comprehend the importance of these sources and celebrate the commemoration day of Ss Cyril and Methodius Equal-to-the-Apostles in the capital of our Motherland!<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish you and all our people peace, fortitude of the spirit and ability to solve the problems we encounter in our life. I believe that we will achieve our goals and our path will be glorious\/<\/p>\n
\u201cMay the Lord keep our Fatherland and our people! Happy holiday!\u201d<\/p>\n
Presenters of the concert and Ms Olga Golodets, deputy chair of the Russian government, congratulated His Holiness Patriarch Kirill on his Nameday on behalf of all those present; a combined choir conducted by the honoured artist of Russia Alexei Puzakov sang \u201cMany Year\u201d by Sergei Prokofiev.<\/p>\n
Some Russian cities, Sofia and Belgrade joined the Red Square by live transmission.<\/p>\n
The concert, which was broadcast by \u201cKultura\u201d TV channel, ended with the choir \u201cGlory\u201d from Mikhail Glinka\u2019s opera \u201cIvan Susanin\u201d and a display of fireworks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
