The new year 2014 found the Orthodox Christians of the Congo in the Holy Churches of the Diocese of Brazzaville and Gabon. His Grace Panteleimon, Bishop of Brazzaville and Gabon conducted a midnight Divine Liturgy at the Holy Parish Church of the Resurrection of the Lord in Pointe-Noire, following which he gave gifts to all the children of the Parish as well as sweets to the faithful who expressed their joy through traditional songs and dances.
