The Russian President chose the Church of the Annunciation for the Christmas service, which was the first home church of Moscow’s princes and tsars in the 16th century.
The head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, attends a Christmas service at the Annunciation Cathedral in Moscow. This was reported on Friday, January 6, by the Russian media.
A video posted online shows that the Russian president arrived at the service alone. Next to him you will see only the clergyman, who leads the service.
The Church of the Annunciation was built in 1484-1489 and was the first house church of the princes and tsars of Moscow in the 16th century and the first Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich.
In 2018, 2019 and 2020, Putin celebrated Christmas in St. Petersburg.
In 2021, on Christmas Day, Putin visited St. Nicholas Church in Lipna in the Novgorod region.
In 2022, he took part in the Christmas service at his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo in the Moscow region. The service was held at the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands.
It will be recalled that Pope Francis greeted Eastern Rite Christians on Christmas, calling for “concrete steps” to achieve peace in Ukraine.
