In his homily, Metropolitan Innocentios spoke on the significance of the Sunday of Orthodoxy in ensuring the preservation of sacred traditions. “We were created in the image and likeness of God but lost the latter through Adam’s disobedience,” he said. “Our struggle today is to reclaim the likeness of God. The likeness to God is the potential to become like God, participating in His divine energies and attributes,” he added. The hierarch concluded by calling upon everyone venerate the holy icons for the love of the saints which are depicted in them.
