MOSCOW. April 27 (RIA Novosti) - The Patriarch of Russia's Orthodox Church, whose absence at ex-President Boris Yeltsin's funeral raised concerns about his health, is on holiday in Switzerland, a source in the Moscow Patriarchate said.
The top Russian clergyman Alexy II, 78, is undergoing routine medical treatment and examination and will be back at work by next month, the source said.
Another source said he spoke with the Patriarch Friday, and said that Alexy had not changed his plans for future services.
