Who and why were revered as saints in Russia? How did Russian concepts of holiness differ from Byzantine ones? How did the understanding of holiness change over time? How did the canonization of saints take place? How did local canonization differ from general canonization? Why is it difficult to strictly define the circle of canonized saints of the Russian Church? Why do saints who were once among the most revered fade into the background? Why can a saint be removed from the list of canonized and then restored to it? What serves as the basis for church canonization and is the incorruptibility of relics mandatory for it? What ranks of holiness exist? These and many other questions are answered by Georgy Fedotov, who defines Russian holiness as follows: 'The path for all, marked by the milestones of the heroic asceticism of a few'.
Georgy Fedotov (1886-1951) - historian, philosopher, was a professor at the Holy Trinity Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris, and later a professor at the Holy Vladimir Orthodox Seminary in New York state.
