Title: The toll houses ARE NOT A MYTH
Product review: It is a pity so many write about Orthodoxy theology, yet have very little experience of Orthodoxy in the sense of the Holy Fathers and Elders. Yet Father Seraphim is an Elder of Orthodoxy who clearly draws his understanding of the toll houses from true Orthodox understanding, not a westernized rational approach. The toll houses certainly exist. The Orthodox believe that it can take up to 40 days for the soul to ascend through the different toll houses, which is why for centuries and centuries the 40 day memorial services have been held for the departed souls. The great monasteries of Mt Athos have many icons depicting the journey of the soul through the toll houses. Be aware of what you read today that goes under the guise of Orthodox.
