Moscow, April 7, Interfax – According to ancient tradition, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia on Annunciation let white doves fly free to the sky above the Moscow Kremlin as a symbol of spreading good news about Christ's birth. At the sermon after the Divine Liturgy he reminded that the Annunciation feast is celebrated to "commemorate the onset of new Christian era that stopped total rule of evil."
According to the Patriarch, on the eve of the Savior's coming into the world, many people in pagan society felt that they faced "a spiritual dead-end of human race."
"Our epoch is not more trouble-free that the pagan one. However there's one difference – the Savior has opened the door for us. God gives us power to protect ourselves and the whole human race from evil powers," the Patriarch said.
