Christ appeared to many people after the Resurrection but only to his followers. Why didn't he appear to those who crucified him - to Pilate, Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin? Wouldn't that be logical? Non-Orthodox sometimes say "God raised Jesus" but Orthodox never do. Why not?

08/15/2025

Blessed Feast of the of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Summer Pascha! ☦️ The circumstances of the Dormition of the Mother of God were known in the Orthodox Church from apostolic times. St. Juvenal, Patriarch of Jerusalem, told the holy Byzantine Empress Pulcheria: “Although there is no account of the circumstances of Her death in Holy Scripture, we know about them from the most ancient and credible Tradition.” This tradition was gathered and expounded in the Church History of Nikēphóros Callistus during the 14th century.

At the hour of her repose, The holy disciples surrounded her beautifully adorned bed, offering praise to God. She prayed in anticipation of Her demise and of the arrival of Her longed-for Son and Lord. Suddenly, the inexpressible Light of Divine Glory shone forth, before which the blazing candles paled in comparison. All who saw it took fright. Descending from Heaven was Christ, the King of Glory, surrounded by hosts of Angels and Archangels and other Heavenly Powers, together with the souls of the Forefathers and the Prophets, who had prophesied in ages past concerning the Most Holy Virgin Mary.

Seeing Her Son, the Mother of God exclaimed: “My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God My Savior, for He hath regarded the low estate of His Handmaiden” (Luke 1:46-48) and, rising from Her bed to meet the Lord, She bowed down to Him, and the Lord bid Her enter into Life Eternal. Without any bodily suffering, as though in a happy sleep, the Most Holy Virgin Mary gave Her soul into the hands of Her Son and God. (oca.org)

🎵 “In giving birth, you preserved your virginity, and in falling asleep you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos. You passed into life as the Mother of Life, and by your prayers, you deliver our souls from death." Troparion — Tone 1

Orthodox worship and doctrine strongly affirms the one God as a trinity of persons. But the understanding of this foundational teaching is often ignored, misunderstood, or even denied among others who claim to be Christian. How can we defend this essential doctrine clearly?
