Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral region said today after the service of the liturgy on the occasion of the feast of St. Basil of Ostrog that the best vaccine for healing all viruses and those spiritual, mental and physical is St. Basil.

"Hundreds of thousands of people gather to touch the robes of Christ, and his robes are also the relics of St. Basil, to touch them in order to be healed of their mental and physical troubles and illnesses," Amfilohije said after the liturgy in the Ostrog monastery.

As he pointed out, it is good that scientists find a vaccine against the virus, but until that vaccine is found, there is St. Basil, a vaccine that works through the ages.

"With the prayers of all of you, but with the power of God and Saint Basil, I feel and see that this virus is also being healed, but that even more wicked viruses are being healed that rule people here in this world, namely the viruses of hatred of God and brotherhood, the most wicked viruses that dominate and for which is the best vaccine for this holy day and these holy relics. May God heal all viruses, especially the virus of fraternal hatred and fraternal misfortunes," said Amfilohije.

"God will allow the borders to be opened again, and when the borders between human hearts are opened, because God allowed such viruses not to separate people, to separate them physically, fine, but on the other hand, God allowed viruses to prevent people from inside related to each other by love, fraternal love and love of God," said the metropolitan.

He said that he was especially happy because of the many young people who came to be here this holiday as well.

Today, the police did not stop the citizens who went to the Ostrog monastery to worship the relics of Saint Basil of Ostrog.

As in previous years, citizens had to leave their cars at the church of St. Stanko, from where they took the monastery shuttle or walked to the Upper Monastery.

The monastery asked the citizens, who are also outside the gates of the monastery, to stand in two rows in order to keep the prescribed distance.

The guards distributed masks to citizens who did not have masks.

Stojović: Citizens respected the distance

The head of the Danilovgrad Municipal Police, Dejan Stojović, said that the citizens respected the distance.

"Today, like yesterday, everything is in the best order. The faithful are following the measures, respecting the distance, that's from our point of view," Stojović said.

According to him, six officers of the Communal Police have been checking these two days whether the citizens who come respect the physical distance.
