Christrian Orthodoxy - The Only True Faith
|
This webpage is dedicated to the one and only True Faith: Christan Orthodoxy Orthodox churches and their founders have their Tradition and founding in the person of Jesus Christ himself. When Jesus walked the earth, he forgave sins, he healed sick people and judged unrepentant sinners. When He joined our Heavenly Father in Heaven, he left us His church and the church fathers to carry His word and He gave them the authority to blot out our sins through the mystery of Confession and be with us through the mystery of Communion. Below are two active centers of Orthodox tradition with great monasteries, some names of the great elders of the Faith and miracle working icons as well as links to bios of some of the greatest Orthodoix saints. When i was a kid and entered Orthodox churches, I didn't quite know who many of the people in the icons were. But now that I have read many of their biographies and was deeply, heartily impressed by their lives, deaths and teachings, my experience entering and worshiping in church has changed... I hope this webpage will be an invitation you will accept to learn more about the most beautiful and precious of all treasures - The Kingdom of Heaven.
