Jill and I send our best wishes of peace and happiness this Christmas to Orthodox Christians living in the US and globally. This holy period, we recognize the nativity of Jesus Christ and the potential faith has to raise us, to transform us, and to improve the planet. We are so appreciative for all the Orthodox Christians who demonstrate their love and understanding towards others. As spiritual ceremonies are held in places of worship across the United States and throughout the world, we reconfirm everybody’s entitlement to freely exercise their religion and renew our promise to always be there for those individuals experiencing discrimination, privation, and aggression due to their religious beliefs. We implore the Orthodox Christian community to beseech God to bestow peace, justice, and happiness to all His children this new year. The first public announcement on Orthodox Christmas by President Joe Biden was published on The White House.
