It is with sadness tempered by expectant hope that we announce the repose of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia. His Holiness reposed in the Lord on Friday, the 5th of December, being the 22nd of November in the Church calendar, and the Afterfeast of the Presentation of the Mother of God in the Temple.
Please see the Synod website for further announcements about this.
For the servant of God, the Patriarch Alexei: may he have eternal peace, and may his memory be eternal, and may he be received by God in the heavenly kingdom.
