“To ‘Glorify’ the saints is to bestow honor and praise on them. Why? Because they are already honored by God, and so filled with His grace that, as Archbishop John has written,’It flows from them upon those who associate with them.’ -They have become “Christlike” and all those seeking Christ, and loving Him, instantly recognize this quality in the saints and are drawn to them for this Very reason.
(Fr Alexey Young I Orthodox Word, 1981)
