As Orthodox Christians, we echo the voice of the disciple, Phillip, to Nathanael (John 1:46) "Come and see." And we join with the Samaritans converted by Photini after she spoke with Jesus at the well (John 4:42): "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
For those of you who are new to Orthodoxy, we encourage you to explore the original faith with us. Because our liturgy is the same ancient liturgy as found in Acts, some of these modern sources may provide a helpful orientation.
