“We Have Seen The True Light”

For us Orthodox, it’s easy for us to become so obsessed with the sign, that we utterly miss the life-transforming point of what that sign is revealing to us.

Becoming the Temple

Our Church’s Tradition teaches us to enter nearly every major feast day through the eyes and the perspective of the Theotokos, Mary.  It’s an awesome thing to stand with Mary, also treasuring up and pondering all these things in our hearts (Luke 2:19).
