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 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 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.The Holy Female Martyr Christina
Today we celebrate the feast of the Holy Female Martyr Christina. She lived an extraordinary life.
The Holy Prophet Elijah
This Thursday we celebrate the feast of the Holy Prophet Elijah. Elijah was a prophet who spoke out with boldness, fought the prophets of Abel, and called out corruption and immorality.
The Venerable Anthony of the Monastery of the Caves in Kyiv
Today we celebrate the Venerable Anthony of the Monastery of the Caves in Kyiv. He is one of the founders of the Monastery of the Caves in Kyiv.
Saints Peter and Paul
This Thursday we celebrate the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul and marks the end of the Apostles Fast. Earlier this month we asked you to reflect on the ways you show your zeal and conviction for the truth, the ways you show love for the people in your life, and the ways you've given your life for Christ.
Today we celebrate the feast of St. Onuphrius!
