Romanian radio personality Mihai Morar received the Archbishop Justinian Cross and Medal on behalf of His Eminence Bishop Justin of Maramures and Satmar during a ceremony held at the diocesan cathedral in Baia Mare on Christmas day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The church order was bestowed to Mihai Morar, who was born in Baia Mare, as a token of appreciation for promoting the Romanian village and Orthodox values in the media.<\/p>\n

The radio showman thanked the hierarch for the distinctions and spoke about the importance of the Nativity of the Lord.<\/p>\n

\u2018You don\u2019t need anything more. You don\u2019t need petals or light games. This defines Christmas: pretzels, some apples and a fir tree around which family gathers, the loved ones gather,\u2019 Mihai Morar said December 25.<\/p>\n

\u2018Christmas is about love because Christ is love. Love is horizontal, love of the neighbour, love of children, love of parents. Love is also vertical: divine love.\u2019<\/p>\n

Morar said he did not expect to receive the church distinctions on behalf of his home diocese.<\/p>\n

\u2018I really didn\u2019t know this was going to happen to me. I came to the service as a simple Christian, I knelt down and enjoyed the liturgy and the sermon. Thank you very much for carrying me in your soul. I am not a symbol; I am not an ambassador. I am just a Christian, who forwards this word of love.\u2019<\/p>\n

“I am very happy that I received this token of love, so I like to say, in a place that is very, very dear to me, even though every time I come to Maramures I go to the church where I was baptized.”<\/p>\n

Mihai Morar started his radio career with Daniel Buzdugan; Currently, the two are hosting a show at a famous radio station in Bucharest.<\/p>\n
