His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, believes that Antarctica is absolutely a special place on the planet, its order makes it look like a certain reflection of the Kingdom of God, and spiritual support for the people who live and work there is crucial.

“The order [there] is really amazing. This is some kind of reflection of the Kingdom of God. I have already said this before: people, penguins, and the amazing expanses of Antarctica are in some kind of harmonious interaction,” said the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, reports Patriarchia.ru.

According to the Patriarch, it is joyful that the entire world community interacts in the Antarctic without any noticeable conflicts: “there are no weapons placed there, there is no confrontation, but people in the face of the greatness of nature work closely with each other.”

“If someone gets into trouble, no one asks what nationality this person is, everyone goes to help him. This special atmosphere of cooperation, interaction, a certain Antarctic brotherhood certainly made a very good impression on me,” explained the hierarch.
