In Tbilisi, the Patriarch-Catholicos of All Georgia, His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, referred to the major challenges of the modern age, as he said, stressing the need from the lessons of the past and the lessons of our forefathers.
He noted that “… We have passed through difficult times, wars, conflicts, but we have retained the true faith. This is the reason we thank the Lord. We’re living in another difficult time today, but we must persevere.”
