Saint Bartholomew

Come and See! The Orthodox Church is the Church just as it came out of the hands of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and just as the holy Apostles handed it down to us: undefiled, unadulterated, virginal. The Orthodox Church is the pure, Apostolic Christianity. It is the Church of the Holy Fathers, who paid homage to her, lifted her up, glorified her and interpreted the holy Gospel correctly, clearly, with the illumination of the Holy Spirit. The Orthodox Church is the Church of the Ecumenical Councils, which guard her and protect her from the falsity of the heretics and their errors throughout the centuries, till today.The Orthodox Church is the Church of the Martyrs, holy Ascetics, Hermits, Hesychasts and Neptic Fathers; the Church of the Confessors, Ecumenical Teachers and New-Martyrs; the Church of the grace-flowing holy relics. The Orthodox Church is the Church of Byzantium, The British Isles, and the West, The Church for all people, at all times, in all places The Orthodox Church is the Church of the Holy Mysteries (Sacraments); the Church of the mystical life in Christ and of Theology, of the prayer of the heart and of our union with God. Our Orthodoxy is the Church of the Ancient worship "in spirit and in truth". The Orthodox Church is the Church of the Resurrection. .
