==Lights on the earth==
The Holy Fathers of the [[Ecumenical Councils]] are honored by the [[Orthodox Church|Church]] because, based upon the preaching of the [[Apostles]], they have established one faith for the Church. Guided by the [[grace]] of the [[Holy Spirit]], and accepted by the Church, the Ecumenical Councils are the highest authority in the Church, infallible.
==Commemoration ==
This feast is commemorated on [[October 11]], if it is a Sunday. If October 11 is not a Sunday, the Slavic tradition uses the preceding Sunday when the eleventh falls before Thursday, and the next Sunday otherwise, the Greek practice will use the Sunday which follows October 11.
