FrMichael Nicolai St Seraphim Orthodox Church About the Saints.. On some of our icons we also have holy people, or better know as the saints of God. We call them by this name because when they lived on earth, they pleased God by their righteous life, and now, dwelling in Heaven with God, they pray for us to God and help us who are still alive on earth. this is the same as asking some one you love to pray for you. when you are in need of prayers, or when someone prays for you, for if they are in Heaven then we know that God does hear there prays to help us then we must ask them, or when we see an icon of a saint then we ask like we ask someone to pray for us we first see them before we ask them right, just as we approach an icon when we see one to pray for us.. O Holy Saints of God pray for us sinners.
