According to the Orthodox Christian faith, the Church is not founded on written texts but on the confession that Christ is God-man (Theanthropos), namely that in the person of Christ, God was joined with man, "indivisibly, immovably, unmistakably, inseparably," and man has come into actual communion with God, and in the person of Christ God and man were hypostatically united in one unique hypostasis.

In remembering the Saints of God according to the testament of Saint John, we must always remember, as he did, that each one of us is called to be a Saint.

Saint Justin wrote: "What are Christians? Christians are Christ-bearers, and, by virtue of this, they are bearers and possessors of eternal life...The Saints are the most perfect Christians, for they have been sanctified to the highest degree with the podvigs of holy faith in the Risen and eternally Living Christ, and no death has power over them. Their life is entirely Christ's life; and their thought is entirely Christ's thought; and their perception is Christ perception. All that they have is first Christ's and then theirs...In them is nothing of themselves but rather wholly and in everything the Lord Christ."

Saint Julitta flourished during the terrible and tempestuous times of the pagan Roman Emperor Diocletian (284-305 A.D.), that fearful persecutor of Christians. She came from Iconium in Lycaonia, Asia Minor, and was one of the most pious and faithful of Christians. Of noble birth, Julitta was raised by Christian parents in the city of Iconium in Asia Minor. After the death of her husband at a very young age, she dedicated herself to bringing up her infant son, whom she baptized with the name Kyrikos.

The "Body of Christ" cannot change because Christ is always the same ("Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). The Fathers continued what the Holy Apostles began. The Orthodox Church identifies itself as being related to the early Church both "spiritually" and "ontologically."

The Orthodox teaching of the Holy Fathers is not something of one age, whether "ancient" or "modern". It has been transmitted in unbroken succession from the time of Christ and His Apostles to the present day, and there has never been a time when it was necessary to discover a "lost" Patristic teaching. Even when many Orthodox Christians may have neglected this teaching (as is the case, for example, in our own day), its true representatives were still handing it down to those who hungered to receive it.
