Christ is Risen! The Head of the House of Romanoff offers her thanks to all her countrymen who have sent her Paschal Greetings

From the Head of the Russian Imperial House

Indeed, He is Risen!

I send my heartfelt thanks to all my countrymen who have extended to me and my family their warm greetings on the Bright Feast of Christ's Resurrection, and have remembered us in prayer at the Divine Paschal Services. I send to you and all your loved ones my warm greetings as best wishes.

I believe that, working together, following Christ's commandments, displaying charity in a spirit of love and empathy for each other, we will overcome any and all trials of our times. May the risen Lord grant us all His great and rich mercy and preserve our great homeland in peace, unity, and prosperity.
