Putin has embraced his faith, routinely appearing at Christmas and other religious services.
It is the height of the festive season for Orthodox Christians, and in Russia, there’s a little more to celebrate.
25 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the church is enjoying a renaissance under President Vladimir Putin.
Putin has embraced his faith, routinely appearing at Christmas and other religious services.
Analysts say he is using the Russian Orthodox Church to promote a so-called pivot to traditional values.
Al Jazeera’s Natasha Ghoneim reports from Moscow.

Putin or Trump 4 world leader nd the other 4 Vice leader…….
Pres Putin. Its good to know you have a belief system in God and that the Russian people embraces revival in their hearts for God. While i respect your ban on Christian Evangelism. If at any point and time you reverse the rules and your position on this i would welcome every opportunity come to your great nation to minister Gods love, grace, and mercy. Rev. Walden Smith. You can access my Youtube videos as my audition with Rev. Waldensmith. Keep up the great work in Russia Pres putin.
What an awesome opportunity that would be.
Lots of prayers. 🙇🙏
And persecut the Christian evangelists.
The orthodox church do need revival and get read of antisemitism.
And using Putin to make the law to forbids evangelical Christian to worship God and share the salvation.
There’s no antisemitism in the Russian Orthodox Church. Many priests and followers are ethnic Jews.
evangelicals are fools with no identity
BRICK BACK THE BYZANTINE!
A corpse should be left well alone.
Did the byzantine had many bricks? Or also other stones?
THE ORTHADOX CHURCH OF ROME AKA CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NOT CHRISTIAN. PLEASE STOP CALLING THE BEAST CHRISTIAN. HONESTLY EVEN THE GOOD BOOK WILL TELL YOU.
Now we need Trump to do the same here in America and hopefully him and Putin can get along
actual now you can enjoy theocracy instead of stalinism…. I just love this country
Exchanging one regime for another.
And these idiots welcome it with thunderous applause.
@A Ghost Without a Past Real and righteous Theocracy would be better than any other system, its logical, the problem is of faith. If God exists it would be right and good thing to have, but if He doesn’t, then it just absolutely doesn’t matter, since good and bad is a matter of opinion, and rationality is not valued by atheistic logistics.
@Lost Planet More like hypocritical and corruptible.
Don’t involve God in this.
@A Ghost Without a Past I never said Russian regimes are any good, I just said that theocracy is the perfect system, whatever is hypocritical cannot be perfect, and whatever is corruptible cannot be of God.

Gogue e Magogue Ezequiel 38
So many miracles thru the orthodox church in my life. It is the true church. Don’t know what I can say more. And I have gone to Protestant churches for a long time.
Jesus is the one and only way to God. Turn to Him and be saved. It is not the church that saves, although God established the church for His purpose.
The true church is not an organized religion or building. The true church is all the people whose hearts have become a living temple for God/ Jesus/Holy Spirit to dwell in.
We do love our churches though. And Russia has such inspiring, absolutely beautiful architecture. The most gorgeous buildings I have ever seen. (Not in person, just pics ). Maybe some day, God willing, Iwould love to see them for real.
MR PUTIN DUHUL SFINT A LUI ISUS NU ESTE IN ICOANELE TALE HINDU
wake-up Christians no matter what Christian protestant churches orthodox or roman Catholic we are same believe in Jesus Christ becareful with Muslim they want to control your country and keep stronger Faith in jesus Christ amen☺
Waik…I not make the trouble and also all muslim not make the trouble except isis
Isis not shown the truth about islam
@Voracious 211 good Muslim people is when their not touch or reading a lot alquran because when their touch or reading a lot alquran they become bad human🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good luck waking up your peers, alas you won’t really convince them, as they are each infected with different strains of the Abrahamic parasite.
Amen Islam is our enemy
What Orthodox Christians, and any Christian in general needs is a revival of their sanity.
Alas the will of the parasite overrides your own.
An edgy atheist soy spotted! Who hurt you? Hurr durr I’m an atheist hurr dutr I’m smart you caveman (lifts fedora for inferior insecurities). 😂
@James Manuel No one did.
And that’s a trilby, not a fedora, a fedora is wider, like the guy in my profile pic wears.
Is Global Warming in The Holy Bible? The WORD of God?
Christianity is the only Religion of TRUTH. In Deuteronomy 28, Almighty God YAHWEH, told Moses that He would Bless the Nations by making it RAIN (WATER), but, Israel would have to worship the True Living God only, and keep His Commands, and not worship any other false gods (small letter ‘g’). PLEASE READ DEUTERONOMY 28.All Scientists in CERN Geneva say that the most abundant Element in the World is Hydrogen (God Particle). Hydrogen 2 Oxygen = WATER… WATER= LIFE. Saint Peter said 2000 years ago in 2 Peter 3 Verse 5 in The Holy Bible: They purposely ignore the fact that long ago God gave a command, and the heavens and the earth were created. The earth was formed out of WATER (Hydrogen/God Particle) and by WATER (HOLY SPIRIT).
The Holy Bible John 19 Verse 34: *One of the soldiers, however, plunged his spear into JESUS’s side, and at once BLOOD and WATER (HOLY SPIRIT/GOD PARTICLE) poured out.*
1 John 5. The Witness about JESUS Christ.
JESUS Christ is the one who came with the WATER (HOLY SPIRIT) of His Baptism and the BLOOD of His death. He came not only with the WATER, but both the WATER and the BLOOD. And the Spirit himself testifies that this is true, because the Spirit is TRUTH. There are three witnesses; the SPIRIT, the WATER, and the BLOOD; and all three give the same testimony.
God Bless!
There is many places in The Holy Bible where we can compare Almighty God YAHWEH to Our Lord JESUS Christ. The Jews must just read Psalm 22, Psalm 110, Isaiah 52 and 53 and Jeremiah 31 Verses 31 to 35, and the Jews will see the similarity.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////The Holy Bible is TRUTH.
1) Genesis 1 Verses 1 and 2: In the beginning, when God created the Universe, the Earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE) that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Power of God (HOLY SPIRIT) was moving over the WATER (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE). When Scientists look for LIFE on other Planets, they look for WATER (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE).
*John 19 Verse 34: One of the soldiers, however, plunged his spear into JESUS’ side, and at once BLOOD and WATER (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE) poured out.*
2000 years ago Saint Peter said in 2 Peter 3 Verse 5: They purposely ignore the fact that long ago God gave a command, and the Heavens and Earth were created. THE EARTH WAS FORMED OUT OF WATER (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE) AND BY WATER (HOLY SPIRIT of the FATHER YAHWEH).
2) Genesis 3 Verse 8: That evening, Adam and Eve heard the Lord God *WALKING* (God has LEGS) in the Garden, and they hid from Him among the trees. But the Lord God *CALLED OUT* (God has a MOUTH and a VOICE) to the man, “Where are you?” (God was *LOOKING* for Adam and Eve, so God has EYES). Genesis 18 Verse 1 and 2: The Lord (1) appeared to Abraham at the sacred trees of Mamre. As Abraham was sitting at the entrance of his tent during the hottest part of the day, he looked up and saw *THREE MEN STANDING THERE*(3).
Genesis 28 Verses 12 and 13: Jacob dreamt that he saw a stairway reaching from Earth to Heaven, with angels going up and coming down on it. And there was the Lord *STANDING* (God has FEET) beside him. “I AM the Lord, the God of Abraham and Isaac.”
Genesis 32 Verse 30: Jacob said, “I have *SEEN* God face to face (God has a FACE), and I am still alive.”
Isaiah 7 Verse 14: Well, then, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: a young woman (Virgin) who is pregnant will have a Son and will Name Him ‘Immanuel’ (God with Us). Our Lord JESUS Christ is God with Us.
Zachariah 10 Verse 1: Ask the Lord for RAIN (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE) in the spring of the year. It is the Lord who sends RAIN CLOUDS and SHOWERS (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE), making the fields green for everyone.
Zachariah 14 Verse 17: If any nation refuses to go and worship the Lord Almighty as KING, then RAIN (WATER=Hydrogen2Oxygen=God Particle=LIFE) will not fall on their land.

Orthodoxy is absolute truth!
Jesus Christ is the only truth
Amen brother
No but only and only JESUS is the absolute Truth.
@Martin Al-Fares Orthodoxy is the true path towards Jesus Christ
@RodsterIt is a pity that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church the two supports of the Christianity are separated. They will be unified ad Christ left only one Church an doesnot like at all divsions. But they will be unified . It is profecied. When? Only God knows. It is the Holy Spirit who will do that the . The men are only instruments.
God has blessed Russia. The west is decaying because they have removed God from their lives…
Very true
And how does one remove something that is supposedly everywhere?
Some of you really need a reality check.
Happy Christmas
(2018 hd )
”Putin is evil” yeah nice try devil worshipers!
Man worshiping pagans nothing more
Islam and Orthodox will overcome the Devil..
Jesus defeated the devil on the cross at Calvary.
He defeated 4377 and the grave.
Spy network… Avoid confessions at all costs.
Google, the Northern Cross by Aquilla Fleetwood, youtube!
The Soviet Union was a Zionist regiment. Do the research.
Christ will conquer.
Nonsense 👆
@Viking Adventurer just like your gods 😀
I am having respect for orthodox christianity
@Arolema Prarath Sura Al Maida
5:34) except for those who repent before you have overpowered them. Know well that Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.
In sha Allah no one intends to wage war here😊
@Arolema Prarath Masha Allah u r going through verses. Now if u think those who wage war at first and loot the right of other are right nd taking steps against it seems a dark side to u then I hv nothing to say 😊.it’s bcz of amygdala
@Arolema Prarath may Allah keeps u safe and on the right path😊
@Arolema Prarath thank you soo much❤️
I ask for God and his angels to bless you all my russian brothers and sisters.
No blessings for the gay or lesbian community said Putin
I hope to see Orthodox become the primary branch of Christianity some day.
yeah i
@OlympicLeprechaun True.
@James Bond oh God don’t ask them that… they have the most vitriolic view of Catholicism lol
@awakeningspirit20 This, they become full on protestants when discussing their Latin counterpart
🇻🇦
So Orthodox Christians are acceptable but other forms of Christians are not allowed to express their belief and are infact imprisoned for it. How can you call yourself a Christian if you persecute other Christians????
The Church does not endorse heresy
Heresy is dangerous
✝️✝️✝️
Russia will now start to really prosper! Just watch.
its the beginning. Russia will bloom.
Greetings to Russia and Putin and everyone from Russia from Iraq
Rise of the real Christian
waww ⛪⛪⛪💖💖💖💖
Good 😍✝️
Greetings from a Coptic orthodox Christian. It is good to see our fellow orthodox Christians thriving again 🙂
I am from Ethiopia orthodox christian and I wish all the best to Russian orthodox christians
I love Putin!
I pray for him. That God would touch his heart and use him for His glory.
May He turn to Jesus and be saved. 🙇🙏
Deus Vult President Putin 🇵🇭🇷🇺
Plz Accept Jesus as ur savior:Putin I have big respect for you so plz
I didnt know christians crossed their bodies during prayer from right to left too… lol
that’s how it was thousands of years ago. that’s why it is called Orthodox… Orthodox in ancient greek means authentic.
@Ingvar Z very interestingly, there is a section in Kerala, India, which is orthodox. One of the very first believer sect in Christianity. It’s because, their beginning was when Thomas apostle came directly and preached God’s word himself in Kerala. He breathed his last in the south of India. I am an orthodox, but we cross our body from left to right. Its an indication of God placing us from the left to the right side of God’s paradise.
Well, different places, different traditions.
@JOEL A.K I am from kerela and as a Muslim I love my orthodox brothers 🇮🇳 too
God bless Russia! We love you so much!!
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
But no zero blessings for the gay or lesbian community said Putin
God bless the Warrior Putin. We love you. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
As a muslim i respect these people they have morals and ethics unlike western libtards. Respect
They have morals but no ethics. That’s the difference between believers and non believers. Believers have morals, non believers have ethics
If you can’t rid the opium. Control it!! Freedom of religion. IN the end GOD will judge!
How does Putin pray to Jesus then murder his political opponents? Right now a man considered his opposition is in hospital dying. SHAM on you Putin, God sees what you do.
Who told you this? Wolf Blitzer? Chris Wallace? Rachael Madcow?
Christianity is not a religion of peace just like Islam.
As the west neglects Jesus, Putin picks him up. Now the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ will be upon Russia. God bless Putin!
and by “blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ” you mean a neo-medieval state that enshrines homophobia into the law, right? Hmm, just like what evangelicals want in America!
Ameen
lord jesus… smh…. worshipping is a sinn btw … inbred…..
CHINA you will next be the revival of Christianity.
China was never a Christian country.

You lost me at 0.56! SKIPPED RIGHT OVER THE TRUTH! The persecution WAS A NATIONAL GENOCIDE! 40-60 MILLION CHRISTIANS! FACT CHECK THAT!
And atheists say that religion creates more violence
@Random Person exactly… Atheists like Stalin Mao Pol Pot Castro Ceausescu Hoxha and others killed milions of Christians but atheists still say that they’re perfect and they’re persecuted🤡🤡🤡
God bless Russian Federation. Praise the lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth ✝️❤️🇭🇷 from the Republic of Croatia
I remember being absolute liberal, what a depressing day
GOD HAS PUT PUTIN IN THE THRONE OF RUSSIA LONG SHALL YOU REIN
Δόξα στον αγαπητό μας πιστό Πούτιν, τη Ρωσία το λαό ,από Ελλάδα χαιρετισμούς / vasilis ellin , filorosikos /
How ironic that so recently, the greatest enemy of the Blessed Mother, and Church of Christ, atheistic communism of Russia, is now the refuge for Christians. Remember that the secrets of Fatima were a warning to the faithful about the errors of Russia spreading its errors throughout the world, from 1917 on. How can Our Lady’s warnings be reconciled with Russia today? Is it too much to believe that Russia can be a refuge for Christians in world gone so decidedly to atheistic socialism, and other false faiths?
God bless Russian Christian Orthodox
God bless putin and Russia, our lady of Fatima pray for us
Russia has this idea about protecting its own culture and tradition while the madmen in the west flail about destroying their own countries and turning them into degenerate third world havens for pederasts. God bless Russia!
God has blessed Russia America has lost its path if God is real and if destiny of the Bible will be shown the USA is doomed.
Good for Russia
Love Putin.
What a shame churches were destroyed. Russian architecture is so gorgeous.
I agree. I absolutely love Russian architecture. Nothing like it in the world. It has such a magical beauty about it.
May God bless Russia and Orthodox followers.
But no blessings for the gay or lesbian community said Putin 😔
Based Eastern Europe vs cringe Western Europe

God bless Russian Orthodox Christians 🇷🇺☦️
But no zero blessings for your gay or lesbian community right?
God loves the Russian people.
He has seen your oppression.
May He break the yoke of oppression.
May He revive, give liberty and joy to you.
Prayers and love from America.
💛🙇🙏💛🙆🙌💛
An article in The Christian Post, discussing the ban on proselytizing stated, “Human rights and religious freedom advocates argue that the law ‘doesn’t do that much to defend from terrorism and only prevents Christians and others who are not Orthodox from preaching and proselytizing.'”[16] In 2017, the USCIRF reclassified Russia as one of the world’s worst violators of religious liberty, recommending that the US government deem Russia a “country of particular concern” under the International Religious Freedom Act.
🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Love you all god im prayer for us lord jesus name Amen Amen Ama
Nonsense right here children 👆
putin is a child of the children of satan
Consecration of Russia is realized as foretold by Sister Lucia (Fatima). President Putin is a Christian Orthodox (innate but hidden behind the curtain of a Soviet Communist State of the past). U.S. President Joe Biden is a devout Catholic and is proud of it. Both men ready to defend and protect Christendom against enemies trying to destroy it. But they have to destroy each other instead. They do not have to destroy in order to build.
God bless Putin ❤️
But no blessings for the gay or lesbian community said Putin?
save or plannet save humanity only peace
Whoever said the Russians are anti-religious is half right and half wrong they know that Christianity is the true belief of morality and they are going to hold through it according to what’s going on in the world right now it’s very important they do that
Al jazerra must be feeling annoyed upon this revival.
While here in the US, the luciferians are now in our government and society.
And have infiltrated Ukraine and Russia doesn’t want any of it. Hence the invasion that NATO doesn’t want.
Putin claims to be a Christian, but aggressively attacks another country ? Obviously, His profession of faith in Jesus Christ is not genuine. He is a hypocrite; a double-minded man.
He has turned into another Hitler ! A destroyer of peace and many people will suffer because of his very poor, leadership decision. He has no heart.
Sadly, he hurts the people of Russia and the legacy of Russia.
I will pray for Putin, that he comes to his senses, and comes to know the Lord Jesus the Christ.
Putin & all russians if you love jesus as a christian why you hate other other country. If have faith of jesus you follow his command, jesus command love one another as i have love you. Be have faith of jesus, gave love ukraine.
IS PUTIN GONNA BE AT CHURCH SUNDAY?
