Yesterday we were with my mother at the
liturgy in our church. When we returned home in the evening, I went out
into the yard and heard the noise, both from the Big Bang, because my
house is not far from the park, Gulshan-e-Iqbal in Lahore, where the
tragedy occurred. We were separated less than one kilometer.
I immediately went down the street, saw
people running. People on the day was very much in Pakistan celebrated
Easter. I have seen the bodies of dead and wounded, it is now known that
killed more than 70 and wounded more than 300 people. Many are in a
critical situation in a hospital. We already know that most of the dead
and injured were Christians: Protestants, and Orthodox (although there
were not many) were in the park that day. Day in Pakistan is very hot,
most families went for a walk with the children is in the evening, and
then tragedy struck.
Unfortunately, I do not think that the
Christian Church in Pakistan will be able to help people with something
other than prayers and visits to the wounded in the hospital. Yesterday I
celebrated the Liturgy. If we talk about the Orthodox Church, I – the
only Orthodox priest in Lahore. Of course, I’ll do everything I can, I
will visit people in the hospital, but my options are limited. I am very
sorry that we can not do more!
