So Great a Cloud of Witnesses

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

The Lives of the Saints are nothing else but the life of the Lord Christ, repeated in every saint in a greater or lesser degree in this or that form. More precisely it is the life of the Lord Christ continued through the saints, the life of the incarnate God, the Logos, the God-man Jesus Christ who became man.
~ St. Justin Popovich, Introduction to the Lives of the Saints, in the book Orthodox Faith and Life in Christ by Astergios Gerostergios, et. al.
