If any praise is decent for the story, and if there is any benefit to the reader from reading it, then it mainly belongs to the church. For here are information about the kingdom of Christ on earth, about the Orthodox Church, which gave birth and raised us in the child of God. Who of the children of the church is not curious and not happy to know her historical life? Who is not pleased to see how ancient it is, on what solid Stone it is based and affirmed, and how it is unchanging and unshakable in its teaching and saving guide us to higher perfection? Neither the variability of time, nor the accretion of enemies, nor the attraction of false brotherhood weaken it, do not destroy it; according to the promise of its Divine Founder, the gates of hell never overcome or overcome her.
