Patriarch of Porfirije with the members of the Holy Synod of Bishops arrived to the Patriarchate of Pec, the ancient seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church, last night.

Upon arrival, his message was:

"Here we are again, we came home again. May God make it so that we will always be here and that everything we think, say and do has its roots here."

The patriarch said that since "that root is very deep, it means that regardless of storms, thunder, lightning and winds, we will not break."
