The Holy Hierarch Nectarius of Aegina was celebrated on Monday through the Holy Liturgy in the Romanian parish in Novara, Italy.
The service was officiated by Vicar Vicar Maximus Danubian of the Diocese of Italy. At the same time, clerics participated, including several deacons from different regions of the country.
His Eminence explained the meaning of the Savior Christ's exhortation: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5, 8).
The hierarch highlighted that the reward of faith, humility and good deeds comes from God, not from the appreciation of people, and the life of Saint Nectarius is a testimony of this teaching.
The service was attended by Cosmin Dumitrescu, the Consul General of Romania in Turin.
His Excellency emphasized the importance of preserving the mother tongue, traditions and the connection with the values inherited from the ancestors, as well as passing them on to the youth.
