Novinskiy discussed his participation in restoration of the Edicule with Patriarch of Jerusalem

Famous Ukrainian businessman and Member of Parliament from the Opposition Bloc Vadim Novinskiy had a meeting with the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem Holy Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilus III. He said about it on his Facebook page.

“The restoration of the Edicule – a small dome chapel in the center of rotunda in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – is on the right way to finish. The Edicule includes Christ’s Tomb – the greatest Christian sanctity. World famous experts were attracted to do the restoration works, who apply cutting-edge and for the most part unique technologies. The works are supposed to be accomplished by the Easter 2017,” writes Vadim Novinskiy.

The businessman told that during the meeting with the Holy Patriarch Theophilus “fair share of contribution to restoration works of the Edicule” was discussed.

As it was earlier reported by the UOJ, the Russian Orthodox Church refuted the information about paranormal phenomena by the restoration of the Holy Sepulchre.
