On the feast of the Great Martyr Demetrios, the Rev. Demetrios Harper makes a clear distinction between love as it is understood in the worldly sense and love from the Christian point of view. To truly understand what real love is, we must look to Christ and His saints. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not seek the affirmation and worship that is His due–He concealed His divinity, denied himself, and took up the Cross. Martyrs like St Demetrios do not seek glory or worldly attention for their love of Christ–they sacrifice everything for their love.
