About the Orthodox Calendar Company

Thank you for your continued support of the Daily Lives, Miracles, and Wisdom of the Saints and Fasting Calendar. Our story begins before I met Georgia. I would go to the Jersey shore with my Lives of the Saints books and bags of Almond Joys, devouring both. Later, I would share these stories with Georgia. We lamented that only the saints’ names were remembered each day on the church calendar that hung on our kitchen wall.

At the Orthodox Calendar Company, we are dedicated to bringing you an immersive experience into the lives of saints through our curated collection of Daily Lives, Miracles, and Wisdom of the Saints and Fasting Calendar. Since our humble beginnings, we have strived to preserve the rich traditions and stories of Orthodox Christian saints, providing you with a deep understanding of their profound lives and teachings.

Drawing inspiration from our own personal experiences, we recognized the need to go beyond mere names and dates on a calendar. We wanted to bring the saints to life, allowing their daily lives, miracles, and wisdom to resonate with believers like never before. That's why we created the first calendar in 1996, condensing the stories into bite-sized sound bites that are easily digestible in our fast-paced, modern world.

We are committed to honoring the struggles of the saints and presenting their miracles in a way that captures the imagination. Some miracles may appear fantastical, stretching the boundaries of the natural world. We acknowledge the resemblance between these miraculous events and elements of folklore, but we assure you that our intention is to showcase the faith and power of the saints, rather than diminish their significance.

The wisdom of the saints, carefully unearthed by Georgia each year, has been warmly received by our devoted readers. These profound teachings often serve as a gentle reminder of our own imperfections and offer guidance for leading a more virtuous life. Building on this success, we have curated a series of books called Wisdom of the Divine Philosophers. These books compile the teachings of the Holy Fathers, categorized by subject, providing invaluable insights into various aspects of the Orthodox faith.

We are passionate about sharing the timeless wisdom and inspiring stories of Orthodox Christian saints. Join us on this transformative journey as we delve into the daily lives, miracles, and wisdom of these revered figures. Explore our collection and discover the spiritual treasures that await you.
