Russian Orthodox Church Believers May Take Communion on Mount Athos -Metropolitan Hilarion

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 29th December, 2018) Russian Orthodox Church worshiper will be allowed taking communion at Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos in northern Greece, Metropolitan Hilarion, the head of the Church's department for external relations, said Friday.

"We perceive Saint Panteleimon Monastery as a Russian monastery.

Of course, it belongs to the Constantinople Church, as do all monasteries on Mt. Athos, but we know that it was built with Russian money by Russian monks and houses a Russian and Ukrainian monastic brotherhood, all rites are performed in a Slavic language and the laity who come there may take communion in it ... But not in other Athos monasteries," the cleric told the Rossiya 24 television channel.
