THE PRIMATER OF THE BELARUSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH CONGRATULATED TEACHERS ON TEACHERS’ DAYtranslated
Dear teachers, educators, everyone who devoted themselves to the noble work of enlightening and educating the younger generation!
I cordially congratulate you on Teacher's Day. Your work is not just a profession, but a high and sacrificial service. You create the soul of the people, lay a moral foundation in the hearts of children, on which the future of our native country depends.
The Belarusian land has always especially honored educational work, and in this we are inspired by the examples of our heavenly patrons. The Venerable Euphrosyne of Polotsk and Saint Cyril of Turov always remain an example of true service to knowledge and virtue for us. With their life feats they demonstrated that true enlightenment of the mind is inseparable from the enlightenment of the soul, and love for books and teaching leads a person to God.
Today, dear teachers, you continue this great tradition. We see how much strength, warmth and soul you give to each child, and we deeply appreciate your patience and wisdom. On this holiday, I prayerfully wish you, dear teachers, God’s inexhaustible help in your work, good health, spiritual peace, grateful students and parents. May the intercession of St. Euphrosyne, St. Cyril and all the saints in the land...
