Three Hierarchs - Holy

[edit]

Not that there is anything wrong with calling them 'Holy', and after all they were individually canonized, but the direct rendition of their title is 'The Three Hierarchs'. I don't know where the interpolation 'Holy' comes from (which implies that the rest are not holy??), but it is certainly superfluous, and I have removed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.200.1 (talk) 17:29, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both terms seem to be used; for example [1] and [2]. The Blackwell Dictionary of Eastern Christianity refers to them as "The Three Hierarchs." I'm not sure what other scholarly sources say. I'm inclined to go with the term that is most often used by authoritive sources. Majoreditor (talk) 03:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
