    Are there any Maronites here? Re: Feast day of HH St. Cyril of Alexandria

    Hi all, To any Maronites, or those who know the inner workings of the Syriac Maronite Church: Is today the commemoration of HH St. Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria in the Maronite tradition? Just curious, since I saw on Facebook via the group "Syriac Solidarity Council" (pan-Syriac organization...

    Tradition(al) Pet Peeves (meant to be fun/blow off steam/no flaming, please)

    So today, June 7/Pashons 13, is the commemoration of one St. Fournous, one of the seventy disciples of Christ, according to the synaxarium of the Coptic Orthodox Church. His entry there is very brief and vague. On this day also, the disciple Phorus (Fournous), one of the seventy disciples...

    The Phenomenon of "Saints of Lost Things"

    I was looking for something completely different when I found YouTube a tamgeed (a kind of paraliturgical hymn sung in the Coptic Orthodox Church; I think the English translation would be "Glorification", but I learned the Arabic word first, sooo...) for Anba Wanas of Luxor. I thought there were...

    Who is your favorite Saint?

    Tell me the reason you like him. I really like Saint Patrick for his history and for making Ireland Christian.

    Questions on Praying to Saints

    Hello all! For a long time I had trouble with the idea of praying to Saints, but in recent months as I became sure God was leading me to Orthodoxy I researched it more and now I have no problem with it. When we pray to the Saints it is not idolatry, rather we enter into prayer with them to...

    In Pleasant Places

    Psalm 16:1-2 ESV Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” Oh, how true it is that I have no good apart from God. All that I have comes from him. I am who I am by the grace of God, doing what he has called me to do...

    St. Patrick's Day?

    I used to work in restaurants that celebrated St. Patrick's Day with Irish food like Corned Beef and Cabbage and beer. I'm not a member of a church that recognizes Saints in the Catholic sense, but I do see the historical merit of Saint Patrick's life and Sainthood, which is formally designated...

    Videos on Holy Elders

    I've found some videos about recent elders and saints that I would like to post from time to time on this thread. I hope you all will find them enjoyable: Here is one about Elder Iakovos of Evia: The subtitles could use some improvement, but they are better than the ones that are automatic...

    No date yet for Blessed Romero canonization, archbishop says

    Link: No date yet for Blessed Romero canonization, archbishop says Oscar Cardinal Romero's official Sainthood is long overdue IMO. I was glad that Pope Francis beautified him after years of tie-ups over what seemed like essentially political objections by John-Paul II and Benedict XVI. The...

    Lent Madness

    Link: Lent Madness If you're familiar with the NCAA basketball tournament, or really any single-elimination sports playoff system, you'll probably understand how this works. Basically, the twist is that instead of sports teams, Saints are placed in these brackets. Every day, two Saints face...

    War on the Saints

    Sunday, September 11, 2016, 8:18 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Oh, To Be Like Thee.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Revelation 12 (ESV). A Male Child (vv. 1-6) And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her...

    Jim & Nancy Forest: Becoming Orthodox - From USA to Netherlands, from Protestantism to Orthodoxy

    Becoming Orthodox by Jim Forest I am sometimes asked how the son of atheist parents ended up not only a Christian but a member of the Orthodox Church. In fact it wasn’t so big a leap as it sounds. For starters my parents weren’t people for whom atheism was a religion unto itself. Their...
