Church. +Fr. Anthony
The great task of the Spirit-filled Apostles was
to spread the Christian faith, both locally and in far-
away places of the known world. As they established
churches in different lands, they ordained other bishops
to oversee those churches. Through the hands of the
Apostles and those of the other bishops they ordained,
many men were ordained to the ranks of bishop, presby-
ter, and deacon, which has continued throughout the
ages. As you’ve heard many times, today’s Orthodox
clergy trace their ordination back to the Apostles them-
selves, through what is called apostolic succession.
Holy Tradition, which encompasses the entire
life of the Church from her beginnings to the present,
also originated with the Holy Apostles. As direct disci-
ples of the Lord and witnesses of the Resurrection, they
passed on the teachings of Christ and the Holy Tradition
of the Church which they shaped and forged through the
