Indeed, extreme materialism, which regards death as the end point of life, is opposed to the Christian faith and its expression or experience in the Orthodox Church, through a scriptural, liturgical, ascetic, and spiritual tradition, adding as a wind that brings hope.

The lack of those close to us causes a sadness that is good to recognize and respect.

Metropolitan Emanuel of France
