    Voyage of St. Brendan

    March is a month where 2 prominent Celtic saints’ day occur. Those of St. David of Wales ( Dewi Sant) on March 1 &, of course, St. Patrick of Ireland on March 17. In light of this and as the Orthodox Lenten fast commences on March 18 this year, it seems appropriate to provide info on another...

    Online Septuagint

    I might have overlooked something but I didn’t notice if we have any links to the Septuagint in TAW. Perhaps an online Septuagint is something rather new also. Anyway, here are links to the Old & New Testaments. https://www.ellopos.net/elpenor/greek-texts/septuagint/default.asp...

    Portland, Oregon Walmart Closings

    Walmart is getting out of Portland, Oregon because of theft and lack of law enforcement. This city is a prime example of Democrat Party poverty creation, poverty perpetuation, & political control.

    The Ever Virgin Mother

    Does anyone know where the unbelief of that the blessed Virgin Mother not being ever Virgin originated? From what little I know, this was not even an issue with the original Protestant movement in the 16th century. I hope I am not imposing here & but I just thought Catholics might know more of...

    A non Christian inquirer posted a question in the outreach forum that concerns St. Gregory Palamas. I know I cannot answer it & forum rules do not permit non Christian inquiry within our sub forum. It seems like a question deserving an Orthodox reply. Anyway, here is the inquiry: Are there...

    Please pray for our priests

    Our Archdiocese within the Antiochian Orthodox Church in America has lost 4 priests within a week and a half. I do not believe any of these are related to Covid19 but this is sad & unsettling. Forgive me for not recalling each of the priests but our latest one of blessed memory is Hiermonk...
