Download Holy Tradition Brochure
Summary
This brochure explains the Orthodox Christian understanding of Holy Tradition as the living transmission of God’s revelation within the Church. Rather than viewing tradition as merely human customs or practices, the brochure presents Holy Tradition as the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church, preserving and communicating the faith handed down from Christ and the Apostles.
It teaches that Holy Tradition is the living faith of the Church, handed down from Christ through the Apostles and preserved by the Holy Spirit. Scripture, worship, doctrine, the sacraments, and the teachings of the Church all belong to this living Tradition. Together they ensure that the Church remains faithful to the Gospel and connected to the life of the earliest Christians while continuing to guide believers today.
