Dear in Christ Your Highness and Dearest Cousin
Greetings on the Holy Feast of the Apostle Andrew!
In the Martyrology of the Matins of the Feast this morning there was a reading of great interest:
"...After the Lord's Passion and Resurrection, Andrew went to Scythia the province
assigned to him, to propagate the Christian faith; then he spread it through Epirus
and Thrace. By his teaching and miracles he converted countless souls to God."
Here we have evidence that the Holy Faith was brought to the land of Epirus early in history of the Church, and that as such its people have been blessed from the first especially to have been taught under so great an Apostle as the Holy Apostle Andrew the First Called.
I pray today for the Blessing of Our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ and the prayers of His Apostle and Witness Andreww to be with you His Holy Prince and the Throne and People of Epirus, wherver they are. I remain
Your Servant in Christ,
+Kyrill
