Can we talk for a minute about how wonderful Vatopaidi Monastery’s iconography is? Because it’s beautiful.

About the author

This is the blog of a 20 year old Christian Orthodox girl from Greece. Here you can find interesting texts and quotes about Orthodoxy. I made this blog because I want everyone to discover the Orthodox Christianity. This is the ultimate purpose of this blog. Feel free to send me any prayer requests or anything you want. God bless you all!

PS. The majority of the blogs I follow are not Christian Orthodox. Don't forget to check out the Orthodox Christian links.

Also, I don't own any photos! The majority of them are from weheartit. If I have used your picture without your permission, let me know and I'll add credit or delete it. You can e-mail me at anytime here: kyrieeleison(at)mailbox(dot)gr

Saint Mark of Ephesus: the Pillar of Orthodoxy

By your profession of faith, O all-praised Mark
The Church has found you to be a zealot for truth.
You fought for the teaching of the Fathers;
You cast down the darkness of boastful pride.
Intercede with Christ God to grant forgiveness to those who honor you!

Advice For Those Living in the West

"Do not be afraid because of your Orthodoxy; do not be afraid because, as an Orthodox in the West, you will be often isolated and always in a small minority. Do not make compromises but do not attack other Christians; do not be either defensive or aggressive; simply be yourself."

Orthodox Christianity is EVANGELICAL, but not Protestant.
It is CATHOLIC, but not Roman.
It is ORTHODOX, but not Jewish.
Eastern Orthodoxy isn't non-denominational – it is PRE-DENOMINATIONAL.
Orthodox Christians have believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the FAITH OF THE APOSTLES AND THE CHURCH since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago.

"Something I found of interest during my initial classes of the Orthodox faith, was to learn that in the history of the Orthodox Christian Church, it wasn’t until the eleventh century when the Bishop of Rome (Western Church) separated himself from the other Bishops of the world (Eastern Church) to form what we now refer to as the Roman Catholic Church. The Church of the East is the Orthodox Church. Then, in the sixteenth century the fragmentation of the Roman Catholic/Western Church began with the Protestant Reformation. Only the Orthodox Church remains as the one, united church for the past two thousand years."

This is the way we should see Christ. He is our friend, our brother; He is whatever is good and beautiful. He is everything. Yet, He is still a friend and He shouts it out, “You’re my friends, don’t you understand that? We’re brothers. I’m not…I don’t hold hell in my hands. I am not threatening you. I love you. I want you to enjoy life together with me.”

- Elder Porphyrios
