The Orthodox faith is the fullness of God’s revelation to the human race, made known in Jesus Christ, taught by his apostles, and handed down without interruption in the Orthodox Churches to this day. At its heart is the confession of the Holy Trinity (God the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit), and of the eternal Son who became man for our salvation. This faith is not only a teaching to be learned, but a life to be lived: in the Holy Scriptures read within Holy Tradition, in the Divine Liturgy and the holy Mysteries, in prayer, fasting and love of neighbor. Its goal is our union with God, the sharing of human beings in the divine life now and forever and unto ages of ages.
