Volume Two of Orthodox Saints
“[...T]here can be no complete knowledge of Christianity without at least an acquaintance with the lives of the men and women who shaped the Church through complete dedication to the service of Jesus Christ. These men and women, from the early disciples down through the ages to the neomartyrs. who have been canonized in recognition of their total dedication to the Messiah, are more than a mass of names that appear on religious calendars. They are flesh-and-blood human beings who acted above and beyond the call of Christian duty. Some of their lives were commonplace and some were excitingly adventurous, in direct contrast to the conventional image of a saint kneeling in constant prayer. There are many saints who do not appear on icons, but whose spirited lives offer anything but dull reading. Some have been among the greatest minds and hearts in all mankind. To know and to understand the saints of the Church is to know and to understand the Savior better.”
