His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia sent the following greeting to His Beatitude Patriarch Ignatius of the Great Antioch and All the East with his Nameday:
Your Beatitude,
Beloved Brother in the Lord and Concelebrant:
I cordially greet You and wholeheartedly congratulate You on the commemoration day of Your heavenly patron – St. Ignatius of Antioch.
You have guided the fraternal Church of Antioch for many years, tirelessly caring for her good and prosperity.
On this festive day we pray to your holy predecessor at the See of Antioch who imprinted the sweet name of God on his heart, and ask him to intercede before the Lord for good health, well-being, and strength of Your beloved Beatitude.
With brotherly love in Christ,
+ Kirill
