“This Faith has therapeutic effects and it became the chief policy of the Roman Empire. But when this civilization was lost the therapy was not lost… the 29th of May may be considered unlucky because the remaining [Byzantine] Empire was abolished, but it can also be considered a day of Orthodoxy, because the Orthodox Faith was liberated from its secular impurities and it preserved the hesychast tradition.”
(Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos) [Faith; Providence]
