Orthodox Day

Orthodox Day is a quiet companion for the Orthodox Christian day.

TODAY

Open it to see what the readings of today: the Epistle and Gospel in full, the saint or saints commemorated, and the fast for the day. Choose your church (Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, OCA or Antiochian Archdiocese) and the readings follow its New Calendar.

THE FATHERS ON THE READING

Under each reading, a section from the Church Fathers on that passage, with Saint John Chrysostom and the other Eastern Fathers first. Every excerpt is a verbatim section of a public-domain English translation, shown with its Father, work and series. Tap "Read more" for the whole section.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

Anxious, grieving, grateful, tempted, angry, lonely, weary or joyful: say how you are, and read one passage of Scripture, a few lines from the Fathers about that very thing, and a single question. Then keep sixty seconds of quiet while a ring of gold tesserae goes out one by one, ending on Amen. No journal, no text field, no streaks.

THE SAINTS

Tap "See more" for the lives of the saints of the day, from the Prologue from Ochrid by Saint Nikolai Velimirović.

PRAYERS

Morning and evening prayers, the prayers before and after Holy Communion, the Creed, the Trisagion, meal prayers and more.

READ IT YOUR WAY

- Read in the World English Bible, the King James Version or the Douay-Rheims.

QUIET BY DESIGN

No account. No ads. No tracking. The readings and prayers are bundled in the app and work without a connection, even in airplane mode.

SUBSCRIPTION

Orthodox Day is available as an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial, a monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Every plan includes everything in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your Apple ID settings. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Lifetime access is one payment with no renewal.

A NOTE ON THE CALENDAR

The calendar, saints, readings and fasting are an approximation of each church's own, drawn from an openly published calendar. Where your parish's calendar differs, your parish is right.
