MYSTAGOGY: The Miracle of Saint Menas in El Alamein in 1942

Fr. Seraphim the Infallible: Fr. Seraphim the Infallible - YouTube I've always found it disturbing how many Orthodox, especially converts, end up building up Fr. Seraphim to a level beyond that of many other Saints. There is a blog out there by someone in the non-canonical, schismatic branch of...

Ancient Faith Radio's first live-call in program, Ancient Faith Today. This last Sunday was about the Eastern Orthodox Approach to the Bible. It's with Dr. Jeannie Constantinou who hosts the Podcast "Search the Scriptures" on AFR, and hosted the podcast "Beyond the Veil" on OCN. Dr. Jeannie's...

Does anyone know of any other Orthodox discussion forums on the internet? Are there any who are run by Orthodox Christians? I know there is OCNet, but its owned by an uncanonical Priest and allows uncanonicals to contribute the same as Orthodox, which I think confuses potential converts...

This was something I originally said as a joke that was part of an Orthodox Meme. The meme was a zealous Orthodox convert who called to the Pope and demanded he convert. I forgot what the reply was in the joke, but I thought it'd be funnier to have him say to the Orthodox convert "What if I...

With the other thread that was posted, I figured I'd create an actual thread with links to images of various timelines of Church History done by Orthodox Churches or Orthodox Christians... OCA Diocese of the West...

Currently taking a class on modern art, and Ive already taking two on modern architecture. Am I the only one that finds modernist architecture and modern art to be disgusting and unChristian? I've been reading from our textbook and it talks about Picasso painting about a brothel he once went...

Turkey to return confiscated property | Orthodox News Finally! Now, if they'll open/return Halki, apologize for the genocides, leave northern Cyprus, and return the rest of church property seized since 1453. I think we can call things good.

Dunno what this necessarily means, but apparently the Moscow Patriarchate is engaging in talks with the other Patriarchs (well, the 4 "top" Patriarchs) about possibly being bumped up to the 5th and restoring the Pentarchy. (more or less) Original article is in Russian: Ïîðòàë-Credo.Ru -...

I just got back from attending my first (though probably also last) mass with my brother and his fiance. I had never attended one before, and thought I should go to one at least once so I would have had some (though limited) experience with Catholic worship. It was in the new order of the...

I thought I'd dedicate a thread to showing people many forms of Orthodox chant, including those not often heard. I will also be including pre-schism western chant... (and some OO chant) Keep in mind, dates are estimates, and most chant forms, if currently in practice, have evolved since then...

Just heard this on Ancient Faith Radio, and found the quote, in addition to another one that is very relevant to it. No matter what you read from St. John Chrysostom, it all seems to transcend the gap of time, from the 4th Century to today! My Priest told us one Sunday, that we shouldn't...

I was just having a discussion with my mother about the Trinity, and as Orthodox, what our belief is. (and what the differences are between EO and OO) I found this wonderful quote by St. John of Damascus:

I began playing Europa Universalis III a few weeks ago, and I've enjoyed it a lot. I recently began a campaign beginning in 1405 as the Byzantine Empire. This is the story of how I brought it back from the brink of destruction and restored it to its former glory and more! 1405- May 29, 1453 I...

westboro baptist church plans to protest in joplin during president obama's visit - kspr.com I think as Christians, we really need to start coming out and showing the nation (and the world) that this group are not Christian. It doesn't matter if they believe in a "Jesus" or speak of a "God"...

I wanted to start a dedicated thread for a debate about the OCA Troubles... Continuing from the DOW Thread and regarding their resolution. I have a question regarding the Diocese of the West, weren't they part of the group that supported ex-Metropolitan Herman? Were Archbishop Benjamin and...

I was wondering, I enjoy drawing and sketching, especially when it comes to architecture. But since becoming Orthodox, I've stopped sketching anything religious unless it has something to do with architecture. I was wondering, is it okay to sketch, even in an iconographic style? It (of...
