OVERTHROW THE TYRANNY OF MONTHS
The liturgical life of the Orthodox Church ebbs and flows right over the boundaries of 30-day months. Using a calendar governed by months limits your ability to see a whole Church season at once. This calendar’s spreads are governed by the feasts and fasts that structure the Orthodox year, which results in seven sections of varying length.

Christmas Calendars for Seminarians
Over the past two years, supporters have enabled us to give calendars to almost 200 clergy wives. This year a supporter shared a vision to give the calendar to students at Orthodox Christian seminaries throughout the US. So far we have two seminaries ready to partner with Operation St Nicholas!
By Thanksgiving we were able to send 45 Old Calendars to each student, faculty, and staff member at St. Herman Theological Seminary in Kodiak, Alaska.
We have an opportunity to bless another seminary community with calendars before Christmas. With only $600 we can send the calendars (at cost) to the community of St. Vladimir Seminary in Yonkers, New York.
Success with the 50 States Challenge!
Thanks to an amazing community of calendar fans, we overthrew the tyranny of months across the nation! We were able to ship calendars to all 50 states by end of day, November 3rd. The final three states were 48. South Dakota, 49. Delaware, and 50. Vermont! Thank you for making The 50 States Challenge a success!

This is the first time that a physical calendar has also become a devotional. It helps me understand the historical roots of my faith. - Anna, Roman Catholic
