September - in the Orthodox Church, the liturgical year begins on September 1st! In addition to the New Church Year, we have some beloved saints celebrated this month + two Great Feast Days! Perhaps you’re like me, and you are planning some fun fall themed activities this month while also celebrating these wonderful saints. For example, I love incorporating apple themed treats or apple picking for St Euphrosynos’ feast day (September 11) since part of his story is the apples he received from paradise. There are many ways to participate in the liturgical life this month, I pray whatever you do, the Lord blesses your efforts!
