He called the southern continent an ideal model of human – and penguin – cohabitation
BY Moses Birch, Russia Insider
On the first leg of his overseas tour, Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill went to Cuba where he met with the Roman Catholic Pope Frances. This was immediately named the Meeting of a Millenium.
On the last leg of his visit, he flew over to Antarctica – the first time in history a Russian Patriarch has done so. He prayed at the Holy Trinity Church at the Russian Bellinsgausen research station, calling the southern continent an ideal model of cohabitation without borders, arms and animosities.
Then the speedboat took him over to the penguins’ settlement.
