The Beauty of the Saints

Fr. Anthony Coniaris has written: "...[W]hen a saint gets to heaven, he will be surprised by three things. First, he
will be surprised to see many he did not think would be there. Second, he will be surprised that some are not there
whom he expected to see. Third, he will be surprised that he himself is there."

The veneration of Saints and prayerful requests for their help in our daily walk are essential components of Orthodox
Christian spirituality. The following meditations are gleaned and edited from various published sources and passed
through the filter of this sinner's personal experience and pastoral work. He offers them for the encouragement and
edification of fellow-sojourners on the way to the Kingdom - which has already manifested through these glorified
Brothers and Sisters of ours and which is yet to come.

Saints of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church

Metropolitan Ilarion Ohienko of Blessed Memory wrote that the Saints of Ukraine are Her highest Protection before the Throne of Almighty God. While we honour all the Saints, those who lived and worked and were glorified in Ukraine occupy a special place in the hearts of all Ukrainians. Our Choir of Saints confirms the salvific holiness of the Kyivan Church and Kyivan Christianity.

The list was originally compiled by Dr. Alexander Roman and is based on the work of Metropolitan Ohienko, supplemented wherever possible with new information and newly Glorified Saints in contemporary times.
