Why are Saints Important in Orthodox Christianity
Saints in Orthodox Christianity embody holiness and serve as spiritual guides, intercessors, and exemplars of faith. They inspire the faithful towards virtue and deepen the connection with the divine. Celebrated through feast days and revered in practice, saints like St. Basil the Great and the Theotokos play a vital role in fostering a living link to the Church's ancient traditions and teachings, encouraging believers to live out the teachings of Christ in today's world.
