International Mother Earth Day invites a global reflection on our interconnectedness with the environment. Embrace the essence of unity amid diversity and explore the delicate balance between humanity and nature. Through meaningful discussions, cultural expressions, and a celebration of our planet's rich biodiversity, let's deepen our understanding of the intrinsic link we share with Mother Earth and the collective responsibility we bear to preserve it.

Orthodox Good Friday is a solemn and contemplative day observed by Eastern Orthodox Christians, marking the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a day of deep reflection on the Passion of Christ, as believers mourn the sacrificial death on the cross. Church services include the reading of the Twelve Passion Gospels, processions, and veneration of the Holy Shroud, symbolizing the burial of Christ. The atmosphere is one of solemnity and reverence as the faithful meditate on the profound significance of Christ's sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. Orthodox Good Friday is part of the Holy Week leading up to the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.
