On December 28th, 2021, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia had a phone conversation with His Beatitude Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington, Metropolitan of All America and Canada.
His Holiness congratulated His Beatitude on the feast of the Nativity of Christ, which is celebrated by the Orthodox Church in America according to the New Julian calendar, and on the upcoming New Year.
His Holiness Patriarch Kirill and His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon assured each other of mutual prayers and exchanged information on the situation with regard to the spread of Covid-19 in the United States and Russia. They noted with regret that, due to the epidemic situation, the expected meeting of the two Primates in November in connection with the celebration of the 75th anniversary of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill could not take place, but expressed their hope that, under favorable circumstances, such a meeting would be held in the spring of 2022.
