By traffic, OrthodoxWiki is now one of the top Orthodox Christian websites online.
The OrthodoxWiki editors have taken St. John of Damascus as their heavenly patron and intercessor as they seek to further the worship and knowledge of the All-Holy Trinity and the faith of the Orthodox Church by means of these pages.
