Summary/Abstract: Of Orthodox faith, Theodore Papanicolaou is a protopresbyter at the Greek Orthodox Protopresbyterate of Bordeaux – France, and in his work, suggestively subtitled “an essay on Orthodox spiritually,” in his capacity as a preacher of the just faith, he reflects on death from an Orthodox perspective, showing that from the point of view of experiencing the just faith, man’s life does not end with his death, but continues beyond death, which is a new beginning. This essay on Orthodox spirituality, whose starting point, fundamental to Orthodox faith, is represented by death and resurrection, urges readers to immerse themselves into the beauty and wisdom of Orthodoxy, which, through Christ the Dead and Risen, has restored man’s connection with God, and through Christ, death has become our passing to resurrection.
