The Lives of the Pillars of Orthodoxy: Saint Photios the Great, Patriarch of Constantinople, Saint Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica, and Saint Mark Evgenikos, Metropolitan of Ephesus

Compilation and Translation by Holy Apostles Convent

Volume 5 of Lives of the Saints Series

“The defense of Orthodoxy against papal doctrines and innovations is exemplified in the lives of three saintly bishops: Photios the Great, Gregory Palamas and Mark Evgenikos. These men, who were reputed to be the most learned of their times, offered their lives to preserve Christ’s true faith. On account of their labors and testimonies for the truth, they have come to be known as the 'Pillars of Orthodoxy' who stand opposed to any compromise in the pure Faith of Christ.”
