The translation of the Old Testament from the Septuagint into English is a process that involves both linguistic expertise and a deep understanding of the historical and cultural context of the original texts. The Septuagint, often abbreviated as LXX, is an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, specifically the Old Testament, which holds significant importance in the history of biblical scholarship.

Use this app to track the dates of other religious holidays in the Orthodox calendar such as Christmas, Epiphany, Theophany, and the Dormition of the Theotokos. These holidays are based on the liturgical Orthodox calendar, which is a cycle of readings and liturgical services that are used in the Orthodox churches. The liturgical Orthodox Calendar follows the same patterns and themes throughout the year, and it is closely tied to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Why follow the Orthodox calendar: mindfulness and introspection, humility recognizing one's own smallness in the grand scheme of God's plan and purpose.

- Build discipline and routine in one's spiritual practice
- Foster a deeper sense of connection to the divine
- Take time to reflect on the sacrifices and teachings of Jesus Christ by observing religious holidays
- Foster a sense of community and shared spiritual practice with other Eastern Orthodox believers.

The Orthodox calendar, also known as the Julian calendar, is the calendar used by many Eastern Orthodox churches around the world to determine the dates of religious holidays and observances. It is based on the Julian calendar, which was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC and is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. The Orthodox calendar has different dates for Easter and other religious holidays, which are based on the liturgical calendar. It is an important part of the religious tradition and culture of the Eastern Orthodox churches. The Orthodox calendar is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in the Western world. This difference is due to the fact that the Orthodox churches did not adopt the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII as a reform of the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar has a leap year rule that eliminates the accumulated error of the Julian calendar, so the Orthodox church still use the Julian calendar. The Orthodox calendar follows the same month names as the Julian calendar, which are: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. However, the Orthodox calendar has different dates for Easter, which is the most important religious holiday for Christians. The Orthodox Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is different from the Western Easter, which is always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.

Ratings and reviews

I was baptized last year, and this app was my source of daily inspiration. I struggle with praying. It's hard for. The prayer section helps tremendously as I can focus on what's being said. One thing I could recommend, it would be the Jesus Prayer remembering my choice on reflection's length and whether or not I have the prayer being spoken aloud. Maybe the music in the reflections section and quiter in the Prayer section, too. It helps calm the ADD and autism so I can quiet my mind.

I purchased this app for listening to the Orthodox Bible, and I find the voice and tempo of the reader very soothing and peaceful 🙏 One issue that I was having was with the announcement of each verse number, but after reaching out to them I was informed that they actually are producing an updated version now without the verse numbers, and it should be ready soon. Glory to Jesus Christ!!! We are so grateful ☦️🙏

Best Orthodox Bible out there. Highly highly recommend getting the ad free version. Low one time cost and totally worth it. The makers are also quick to respond which surprised me. I had a question about the calendar and they answered all my questions. Skip the hassle of all the other Orthodox apps that dont work or are full of ads and just get this one. You won't regret it. I would like to see a bookmark on it so I can pick up where I left off reading. Glory be to God for this app! Thank you!
