The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on the Statues
In 387 a mob in Antioch tore down the statues of the emperor and his family. The whole city waited in terror for his revenge. Through that Lent the young priest John preached day after day, calming his people and calling them to repentance.
These sermons made his name. They are full of drama and full of hope.
