The Orthodox answer
In summary (pg.11)
Today they say: "The Great Holy Water is the same as the Little one." Is this the case?
How will we find the answer? Not just any answer but the right one, the orthodox answer. We will seek it within Orthodoxy.
According to our research, it turns out that the Little Holy Water and the Great one are two different things. One is truly little and the other is truly great. Accordingly, different is the use of one, different is the use of the other.
This is the "view" of our Orthodox Church on this particular issue. And this must also be the "view" of all its members.
Our personal views are valid, when there is no tradition. But when there is, we leave our personal views aside, and follow the way of our Church· that which was respected, observed and handed down to us by our forefathers.
Otherwise, we do not act as Orthodox.
