A Cloud of Witnesses: Saints and Martyrs From the Holy Land
by Bishop Demetri (Matta) Khoury
Authorhouse, 2008
(700 pages, $15.40, paperback)
reviewed by Patrick Henry Reardon
Unlike the very structured way in which the Roman Catholic Church canonizes its saints, the corresponding Eastern Orthodox method tends to be somewhat informal and “popular,” in the sense that the impulse to declare someone a “saint” tends to arise from the people themselves.http://almoutran.com/2011/08/4047
