Russian Government Completes Holy Land Museum in Jericho
Topic: GOV.RU

By Ministryvalues.com November 10, 2010

 Russian Cultural Center in Jericho will become "the first major project in the Holy Land in the third millennium that was actively taken up by the Russian state."  Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.   

 

"And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus ... but could not because of the crowd, because he was of short stature. And he ran ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house." Luke 19:1-5

With a giant trunk and boughs towering 60 feet high, a gnarled sycamore near Jericho's main square has long been touted as the very tree that the hated tax collector climbed to get a glimpse of Jesus. The tree, once tucked obscurely away on a side street, is a featured attraction of a Russian-funded museum complex to be unveiled this month as part of Jericho's 10,000th birthday celebrations.

Now it's taking center stage in a plan to transform this ancient desert backwater into a tourism hub. On Friday dozens of Palestinian and Russian workers laid brick, rushing to finish the white stone building with two domes and several graceful columns in time for the Oct. 10 opening. The museum, which sits on land bought by the Russian government in the 19th century, will feature Russian Religious art and an exhibit on cultural ties between Russia and Palestine, as well as artifacts discovered during a salvage dig before construction began. 

Russian archeologists who have conducted the first excavations in the Holy Land since Russian research of Christian antiquaries in Palestine stopped in 1917.

"Here we have discovered a complex of Byzantium buildings that dates back to 6-7 centuries. Perhaps, it is remains of a monastery with multicolored mosaics," director of the Archeology Institute and corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Nikolay Makarov said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Excavations in Jericho were organized by the Russian Presidential Administration in connection with building Russian museum and park complex and yard facelift.


Local lore has long maintained the tree, whose massive partially hollowed trunk measures 7 feet in diameter, is the very one featured in the biblical tale of Jesus and Zacchaeus, the tax collector of short stature who, according to the Gospel of Luke, climbed the tree to get a better look at Jesus.

 

The tree will eventually be ringed by the perimeter wall of the museum compound.

In the garden, workers laid tiles for a walkway from a recently excavated Byzantine-era mosaic to the sycamore tree. Landscape architect Sofiya Minasiyan said she plans to fill the grounds with plants mentioned in the Bible.

Daibes, the tourism minister, said tests are being conducted on the health of the tree, in hopes of finding ways to keep it strong. She said preliminary tests have shown the sycamore is more than 2,000 years old.


As Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia had earlier said, Russian Cultural Center in Jericho will become "the first major project in the Holy Land in the third millennium that was actively taken up by the Russian state." ___

President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev meets Israeli PM Nethanyahu - Feb 15,2010
Topic: Kremlin News

Beginning of Meeting with Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu

February 15, 2010

The Kremlin, Moscow

 

PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA DMITRY MEDVEDEV: Mr Prime Minister,

I am pleased to have this chance to meet with you to discuss our bilateral relations with Israel, and of course talk too about current international issues, especially the Middle East peace process, and look at the situation in the world today in general. I think this is all the more important given that Israel is more than just a partner in the ordinary sense for us, but is a country with whom we are bound by longstanding relations and with whom we share much in common in terms of the nature and makeup of our populations.

Another matter I wanted to bring up during our talks today is that this year is significant in that we will be celebrating the sixty-fifth anniversary of victory over Nazism. This is our common victory. I think the celebrations should take place at the highest level. In this respect, as I understand it, we will also approve a declaration today on the sixty-fifth anniversary of victory celebrations.

This is important in order to preserve for all time the memory of these events in the chronicles of history and prevent people from taking liberties with and falsifying the account of what actually happened. This is important for Russia, important for Israel, and important for the entire world.

PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: Let me speak English…

DMITRY MEDVEDEV: It’s up to you. As you wish.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: …I brought my Minister, who is a native Russian speaker, Mr Edelstein, and our faction leader Mr Elkin. And they are teaching me Russian as we go along.

I am delighted to see you, Mr President, delighted to be here in Moscow. And delighted with your hospitality.

Perhaps I’ll start with what you’ve ended with. Because I think in many ways it’s the most fundamental element of our relationship, our past brings us to our present and guides us, gives us a foundation to go to the future. You spoke correctly about the need to recognise Russia’s extraordinary contribution in saving mankind against the Nazi tyranny. We know it very well.

We know it because of our combined history, and the fact that we have over a million Russian speakers many of whom fought in that same Great War, and we know the heroism and sacrifice of the Russian people which is unimaginable. Unimaginable. We appreciate it. In many ways we are part of it. We are part of it in two ways: one, in defeating the tyranny, and two, in suffering the consequences of this mad ideology.

You correctly say that there are people who wish to distort what happened in the Second World War. This applies both to the combatants and also to the victims. There is a widespread denial of the Holocaust. And this should be combated as firmly as any distortion of the history of the Second World War. It’s not just an argument of history, it’s an argument about the present and the future.

And I believe that on this we see eye to eye, and on many other things as well. I look forward to strengthening our mutual relations in every field. I look forward to seeing how we can advance peace, and helping advance peace means helping roll back the enemies of peace.

And they are around, strengthening themselves and arming themselves. And advancing peace, advancing our mutual relations and rolling back those who destroy peace and threaten the stability of the Middle East and the world is something I very much look forward to discussing with you. I appreciate the new relationship that we have forged over the last two decades. It’s very important for both of our countries. I think it’s very important for the world. Thank you, Mr President.

<...>

CHRIST THE SAVIOUR CATHEDRAL, MOSCOW.

President of Russia,Dmitry Medvedev and his wife Svetlana attended a church service marking the first anniversary of the enthronement of Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill. 

The President sent his greetings to Patriarch Kirill on the anniversary, saying, in particular, in his message:

“The first year of your service as patriarch has been filled with active labour for the benefit of the Russian Orthodox Church and our entire society and marked by major successes in developing cooperation between the church and the state and working together to address the biggest social and educational tasks before our country today. 

Your efforts to cultivate moral values among young people have been especially fruitful. The introduction in Russian schools of a course in religious culture and secular ethics will contribute to this work, as well as the establishment of clergy working on a permanent basis in the Armed Forces. Your efforts to preserve civil peace and harmony in our country deserve our full support and continue to find a solid foundation in the centuries-old traditions of mutual respect between people of different faiths and cultures and the broad interfaith dialogue to which the Russian Orthodox Church devotes much attention.

The Moscow Patriarchate’s steps towards consolidating unity within the church have been greatly welcomed and have provided a big incentive for the spiritual consolidation of the millions who make up the Russian Orthodox Church’s flock around the world, above all in the CIS, and for strengthening ties with our compatriots abroad. Your personal contribution and your standing in the Orthodox world have made it possible to develop active ties with Orthodox churches everywhere, thus strengthening the brotherly ties between peoples and countries sharing a common spiritual tradition. 

The strength of your pastoral teaching, your impressive energy, and your ability to carry on a dialogue and find solutions to the problems facing the modern church and society today make your service as patriarch particularly important. I am sure that under your guidance the church will continue its noble mission, work for the benefit of our people and make its contribution to Russia’s spiritual transformation.” 

Patriarch Kirill is the sixteenth head of the Russian Orthodox Church since the institution of patriarch was introduced in Russia in 1589. The previous patriarch, Alexy II, died on December 5, 2008, at the age of 79. The new patriarch, Kirill, was elected at the end of January 2009, and enthroned on February 1, 2009. The church marks this date every year as an important celebration.

Moscow,Kremlin

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev congratulated Orthodox Christians on Easter Sunday.

The message reads, in particular:

“The great holiday of Easter symbolises spiritual renewal, the celebration of life and high moral ideals. On these beautiful spring days, the hearts of people are filled with special joy and love for their nearest and dearest, and with great hopes and a sincere desire to do noble things, good deeds.

This holiday brings together millions of believers across the country and our compatriots abroad. All Orthodox believers share its eternal values and respect its history and cultural heritage.

It is very important that today the Russian Orthodox Church continues its tradition of responsible ministry, helping people discover their faith and become familiar with spiritual origins. The Church is actively and creatively involved in public life, does a great deal to strengthen moral principles and traditional family values, and to cultivate moral values in younger generation.”
