Holy Tradition refers to the teachings and practices passed down through generations within the Christian faith, particularly in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches. It encompasses the interpretations of scripture, liturgical practices, and the teachings of the Church Fathers, forming a vital part of the faith's foundation. Unlike the written word of the Bible, Holy Tradition is transmitted orally and through the life of the Church. It is considered essential for understanding the fullness of the Christian faith, guiding believers in their spiritual journey and maintaining the continuity of the Church's teachings throughout history.
