Tomorrow, March 24, the Church celebrates the Triumph of Orthodoxy!

“Face to face, mouth to mouth, we, Orthodox Christians, converse with the Lord,Our Lady, the Holy Angels and all the saints. This is what it means, according to Orthodox Christian custom, to pray reverently before holy icons in spirit and truth. This is why we supply them in churches and houses of worship (chapels) and in our homes. We believe in the closeness of the Lord and His saints to us and that we are one spiritual body with them, one Church, just as there is one Head of them and ours, the Lord Jesus Christ. With such faith in our holy icons and in the Church, will you, iconoclast heretics, throw stones of slanderous condemnation at them? We are right, and you are wrong and false” - St. John of Kronstadt
