MOSKOW- (for more complete news: http://www.mospat.ru/) Oh, this is a shocking news for Orthodox faithful, for me personally in this week. Father, may your memory Eternal... Father Alexy passed to eternity on December 05, yesterday and the feeling of lost can be felt trough out the Orthodox world: Russia, Antioch Syria, Greece,Romania, Bulgaria, Carphato-Russia, Serbia, Georgia, Slovakia, Chekoslovakia,Ukraine,Estonia, Poland,Jerusalem Israel, Cyprus, Macedonia, Lebanon and Middle East, USA, Australia and many other countries.
His Holiness Patriarch ALEXY II was born on 23 February 1929 in Tallinn, Estonia, into the family of deeply believing people. His father, Mikhail Alexandrovich Ridiger (+1962)studied in Law College and was a native Pittersburg. His Mother, Yelena Iosifovna Pisareva (+1959) was born in Revel (now Tallinn). From his early childhood Alexey Ridiger served in the church under the guidance of his spiritual father Archpriest Ioann Bogoyavlensky. He was a very briliant student in Leningrad (now St.Petersburg) Theological Seminary and graduated in 1949. After being so faithful in each rank of hierachial ministry, He was enthoned to be Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia in 10 June 1990.
He was the symbol for the struggle of the orthodox church faithful in the struggle amongst the communism era and until now Russian Orthodox church by the grace and mercy of God still survive and also united with the Russian Orthodox Church Ourside Russia (ROCOR),the Church in which Indonesian Orthodox Church (goindo.org),in which I am-- affiliated.

Бог! Сохранить России. Бог! Сохранить и укрепить ее страдания сына, который в силу своей веры и терпения, нести Ваш свидетель в мире. Бог, собрать нас всех в лоне нашей Матери Церкви в нашей Святой Российской Родина, и восстановить ее, вмешаться, сохранения и милосердие с Вашим благодати.
(God! Save Russia. God! Save and strengthen her suffering sons, who in the strength of their faith and patience, carry Your witness to the world. God, gather us all in the bosom of our Mother Church in our Holy Russian Motherland, and restore her, intervene, preserve and have mercy with Your grace.) Amen.
