Католикос-Патриарх всея Грузии Илиа II отмечает 85-летие

Католикос-Патриарх всея Грузии, Архиепископ Мцхетский и Тбилисский, Митрополит Пицундский и Сухум – Абхазский, Святейший и Блаженнейший Илиа II в четверг (4 января) отпраздновал свой 85-й день рождения. Среди поздравивших Патриарха был президент Грузии Георгий Маргвелашвили, который привел жизнь Патриарха в качестве примера для всего народа Грузии.

Илиа II является главой Грузинской православной церкви уже в течение сорока лет. Грузинское общество высоко ценит его. Недавние скандалы, которые затронули Православную Церковь в Грузии, не сказались на уважении, которое большинство грузин испытывают к Илие II, который остается символом национальной идентичности и единства Грузии.
