President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova, on the occasion of the great Christian holiday of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, sent a congratulation message to H.H. Stefan, Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia and of Justiniana Prima, as well as to all Orthodox believers.
Respected Holiness Stefan,
Allow me, to you personally, to the members of the Holy Synod of Bishops and to all the clergy and monastics, as well as to all believers of Orthodox faith, to convey you my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the great Christian holiday of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I most sincerely wish you to spend the holiday, first of all, in good health, in peace and tranquility, filled with immense joy and happiness.
Celebrating the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary means celebrating and respecting traditions and family values, and, therefore, with positive thoughts and love, to help and assist our neighbors. All citizens of Macedonia, regardless of gender, religion or ethnicity, are part of one family, and therefore may we in unity and solidary build our common home, based on coexistence and mutual respect, understanding and kindness.
Congratulations on this holiday!
Gordana Siljanovska Davkova
