Feast Day RSS
The Holy Female Martyr Agatha
Today we celebrate the feast of St. Agatha, martyr. St. Agatha lived in Italy during the reign of Decius.
The Venerable John Kalyvites the Hut Dweller
Today we celebrate the feast of Venerable John Kalyvites the Hut Dweller. He was the only child of wealthy parents in Constantinople.
The Circumcision of Our Lord
Today we celebrate the feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord. In this feast, I think, we celebrate the ordinary way that Jesus lived His life.
Vigil of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple
Tomorrow we celebrate the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple.
The Venerable Martyr Anastasia the Roman
Yesterday was the feast day of the Venerable Martyr Anastasia. (Of course the celebration of Divine Liturgy usurped this feast.)
The Holy Apostle James
Today we celebrate the feast of St. James, son of Alphaeus, one of the twelve apostles. St. James is mentioned quite infrequently in the Gospels, which makes reflecting on his life here a bit challenging for me the writer. :-)
The Exaltation of the Holy Cross
This Thursday we celebrate the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. St. Helena, mother of the Emperor Constantine undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in hopes of finding the true cross. Each year, we celebrate the finding of the true cross and venerate it due to the redemption won for us by Jesus' death on it.
The Holy Prophet Moses
Today we celebrate the feast of the Holy Prophet Moses. There is much one can say about Moses. One of my (Beth) favorite stories of Moses is when God calls him to go talk to Pharaoh and free the Israelites.Beheading of John the Baptist
Tomorrow we celebrate the Beheading of John the Baptist, the Holy Forerunner. He preached with boldness, such boldness that he paid for his boldness with his life.
