On the first Sunday of Great Lent the Church celebrates what is known as the Sunday of Orthodoxy. It is a day to celebrate the restoration of Holy Icons since 787AD. For us as Orthodox, this celebration is not just about allowing icons in the Church, but a confirmation the truth that God took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. It is a confirmation that we believe and live in the way that was established by the Holy Apostles, the one who were promised by Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit would come and guide them into all truth. The Sunday of Orthodoxy is about the truth of God.
