We are American, Greek, Russian, Romanian and Hispanic pilgrims who, with sincerity of heart, were guided by Christ himself to his Holy Orthodox Church. We cling to the true teachings of the Orthodox Faith as delivered to the Apostles and their successive Bishops without variance and without compromise.
Thou didst love Christ from thy youth, O blessed one, and ardently desiring to work for him alone, thou didst struggle in the wilderness with constant prayer and labour; and having acquired love for Christ with compunction of heart, thou didst prove to be the beloved favourite of the Mother of God, wherefore, we cry to thee: save us by thy prayers, O Seraphim, our holy Father.
