Russian priest starts his work in Venice airport

Moscow, October 24, 2011

Orthodox pastoral service was opened at Venice Marco Polo Airport.

It was launched thanks to cooperation between the local Parish of Holy Myrrh-Bearers headed by its rector Father Alexy Yastrebov and airport authorities together with its Catholic chaplain.

Now the whole year through every Friday and Saturday passengers flying to Moscow can receive a blessing of an Orthodox priest, attend a prayer service, ask their questions and confess, the Moscow Patriarchate reports at its website.

The task of the established chaplain service is to give pastoral care not only to Orthodox passengers, but also to crew members of Russian and other airlines and staff of terrestrial services.
