    Dormition of Righteous Anna, Mother of the Most Holy Theotokos

    O Godly-minded Anna, thou didst give birth unto God's pure Mother who conceived Him Who is our Life. Wherefore, thou hast now passed with joy to thy heavenly rest, wherein is the abode of them that rejoice in glory; and thou askest forgiveness of sins for them that honour thee with love, O...

    Holy Week Has Me Over A Barrel :(

    Every time I turn around this week, it seems like there's something else I have to do. I've had to read and chant for several services over the past week, and my voice is about ready to give up on me, and my body is about to do the same. There was a long service this morning (DL plus other...

    Monastery email etiquette

    I need to write an email to a men's monastery in order to ask a question pertaining to products they sell. Should I address it "Dear Fathers" or something like that, and how should I close it? Thanks to anyone who can help a sistah out... :)

    Headcoverings for the Womenfolk

    Since I got burned at Tznius, I haven't bought any new scarves online. Holy Week and the summer are just around the corner, and I could use some new ones. Can some of y'all share some favorite and trusted sites for buying scarves?

    Crawling under the rock

    I'm crawling back under my rock so that I can concentrate on stuff for school. I hope it's the last time I'll have to take a break from here for awhile. But assuming all goes well, I'll finally be done for good with this project of mine, and I would appreciate it a lot if any of you could say...

    Who the heck are you people?

    Ladies, gentlemen, and esteemed homies of TAW, it's come to my attention that some of you have changed your names in the past few months. Which is fine, but unfortunately it's kind of difficult to figure out who all of you are and who you all have been, especially if you change avatars and...

    Asking for more prayers

    I hate to keep begging for prayers like this, but I need them now more than ever. I've got major piles of work to get through before Monday and I'm starting to really panic about my ability to get it all done. I can buy a reprieve if I ask one of my professors for a favor. Unfortunately...

    http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3872556&page=1 Please pray for the repose of Nicole's soul, and for the comfort of her family. As for the case, I can't believe anyone would post pictures like that in public anywhere for any reason. I hope the CHP pays through the nose for their...

    A plea for parish websites

    Forgive me for ranting a bit, but this has been driving me insane. I've had it up to here (picture me standing with my hand high above my head) with outdated parish websites! I'm going to be doing some traveling in the near future and have been visiting various parish websites to get liturgy...

    Prayer request

    If I can add one more thread to the many prayer requests posted lately, I would like to ask for prayers for a project I'm quite worried about. It's no ordinary project; it's basically something my past flows into and my future flows out of. I'm really scared about how it's going, and my...

    "Ortodoksinen" on AFR

    I just heard this really marvelous version of the Beatitudes sung on AFR by a group only known as "Ortodoksinen". They're not on their "Purchase Music" page. Internet seaches thus far have been fruitless although I suspect that they might be Finnish. Can anyone, pretty please, with sugar on...
