The Saints


The Christian Orthodox Church honors the saints not as gods, but as faithful servants, as holy persons, as friends of God. The Orthodox Church presents the efforts undertaken by the saints for the glory of God and the works they carried out through the Grace of God.

By honoring the saints, the Church is actually directing this honor to the Most High and Great God, Who was pleased with their earthly life. This is how honor for the saints must be understood.
