Moldovan Orthodox Youth Gather at Airport to Support Archbishop's Holy Fire Journey

Chisinau, Moldova – Orthodox Christian youth gathered at Chișinău International Airport today to support Archbishop Marchel, who departed for the Holy Land to retrieve the revered Holy Fire. Participants displayed signs in both Cyrillic and Romanian, with messages like "ЖДЁМ БЛАГОДАТНЫЙ ОГОНЬ ДОМА!" (We await the Holy Fire at home!) and "BRAVO EPISCOP MARCHEL." A young man filming the event noted the youth were "very inspired by his actions, that despite the situation, he gathered his will and is going again." This demonstration underscores the deep spiritual significance of the Holy Fire tradition for the Moldovan Orthodox community and their steadfast support for their religious leader's pilgrimage. The event reflects a strong public display of faith and unity.
