MOSCOW, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow sent Roman Catholic Pope Benedict XVI a congratulatory Christmas Day message wishing him well.
"I heartily congratulate you on the Nativity of Christ and wish you abundant grace on behalf of Infant God, well-doing, God's help in your service," the Russian spiritual leader said Tuesday.
