Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) Patriarch Porfirije congratulated all Muslims on the great Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha and wished them to spend it in health, peace and love.

“In the spirit of nurturing good inter-religious and good-neighbourly relations, we congratulate all Muslims on the great Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha,” the Patriarch said.

He added that on this holiday, Muslims around the world remembered the sacrifice of the ancestor Abraham, and their customs about the importance of mercy, benevolence and philanthropy.

“Let the celebrations of our religious holidays be occasions to get to know each other and get closer to testify in a dignified way that we are descendants of the same ancestors,” Porfirije said.
