Yeah, though, this is a loose definition.

Saint Isidore of Seville | Franciscan Media

Saint Isidore of Seville was a prolific writer and capable administrator of his diocese. Following his brother as bishop of Seville, he founded schools and seminaries, and he was known for his encyclopedic knowledge. Perhaps Isidore's greatest accomplishment is that he was a holy man.

It is good that we both have saints. I do not pray through the saints very often though, but not all Catholics do, just as not all Orthodox do.

I can’t speak for Catholics, but all Orthodox pray to the saints. it’s inescapable in our services.

That is awesome. The Catholic Church does not pray to the saints that much in service, if at all. We say the Nicene creed, and also pray for others.

Sadly, there are not many Orthodox churches nearby, but I can watch a streamed one, and then ask my parents if we can go to an Orthodox church for one Sunday.

I will, if this happens. So, who is your favorite Orthodox saint, and do you have a favorite icon?

I don’t really have a favorite of either.

All of them are good. Do you have any icons yourself? I do not have any icons, but one of these days, I should get one. St. Joseph would be a good one.

We were in Romania two summers ago (this summer was Japan). We walked into a little church in Brasov and they had just started an unction service. The two priests were so welcoming and kind. They quickly asked us in and saw my cassock. We met after the service and after I told them I’m a Reader back in California, they were so full of joy. They learned I was a convert and said, “You made the right choice, brother. You are on the right path.“ we had a nice conversation and then we left. We venerated all their many relics. I had an ear to ear smile. Romania was a beautiful country.

I pray through the saints every single time I pray. We need their intercession!!!

Amen, brother. Especially in these dark times in the world.
