His Holiness Serbian Patriarch kyr Porfirije extended his congratulations to Mr. Isak Asiel, Chief Rabbi of Serbia, on the occasion of the Feast of Passover:

I congratulate You and all our fellow citizens – Jewish men and women, members of the people with whom we have been sharing the same sky and the same soil, the same delights and the same difficulties for centuries, on the occasion of the Feast of the Passover, the Feast of courage, liberty and triumph of life!

May the Lord bless You with the joy which resembles the one which Your brave ancestors rejoiced with, whose homes, marked with the blood of the paschal sacrifice, were avoided by the angel of death, enabling them to set off bravely on their journey towards freedom immediately. May you live long in good health in many good years of the Lord!
