The book Our Orthodox Christian Faith states: “We commemorate [the“ saints ”], and ascribe glory and honour to their holy personages..., and we ask their prayers before God on our behalf and their supplications and aid in the many needs of our lives....
Raamat „Our Orthodox Christian Faith ” ütleb:„ Me mälestame [„pühakuid ”] ning ülistame ja austame neid pühi isikuid.. ja esitame Jumala ees nende palveid meie heaks ning anume nende kaudu abi meie elu paljudes puudustes.
