METROPOLITAN ALEXIOS OF ATLANTA ISSUES MESSAGE ON THE OCCASION OF SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY

Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta

My Beloved Ones, I greet you with love and joy as we approach the end of the first week of Great Lent! This first Sunday of Lent is known as “The Sunday of Orthodoxy” when the veneration of icons was restored to the Church in the year 843, after decades of Iconoclasm. I pray that each of you join this Sunday’s commemoration by proclaiming what we know is Orthodox: that icons are tools to teach the Faith, objects to venerate the saints, and a means to witness our Lord and Savior in this life—before we see Him at His Throne.
