Today the Orthodox Church celebrates the Triumph of Orthodoxy on the 1st Sunday of Great Lent. This feast was established in the 9th century to celebrate the Church’s victory over the heresy of iconoclasm. There have been many heretics that have tried to defeat the Orthodox Church over its 2000-year history, but as our Lord said, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).
