Do the saints, as the Orthodox tradition suggests, really act as intermediaries between God and people? Is there really a mysterious "communication process," and how does this happen? What are visions, phenomena, revelations? Why are miracle workers and intercessors famous? Blessed - madmen or ascetics with the gift of divination? Why did the Orthodox saints voluntarily accept the burden of foolishness and why did they enjoy special love, respect and reverence among the people? You will find answers to these and many other questions about Orthodox saints and martyrs in our book.
