Intercession of saints

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Catholic & Eastern Orthodox theology, the intersession of the saints is prayer to holy men and women that the Church has recognized, in the belief that their prayers in turn have a "powerful effect" (Epistle of James 5:16).[1] Protestants see only prayer to God Himself as valid.
