October Orthodox Liturgical Printable

September 28, 2022 by Destinie Winn in Printables, Resources for Families, Traditions, Saints, Feast Day

Currently October is only available in the Orthodox Liturgical Bundle (Below):

Buy the Bundle HEre

A brand new printable is here for the month of October! Each liturgical year, I always hope to gain a little more understanding of the Orthodox faith, and learn to live more deeply in the Orthodox traditions as a family. As we progress through this year, my goal is to continue to take the bite size pieces to add onto our homeschooling and daily life.

This Month Includes :

  • Important dates for October, a Saint of the month, a family fall activity, a child activity, a song, additional reading suggestions and 3 Maxims to work on as a family!

Want to Listen to the Song of the Month?

Check out this YouTube Video

Do you want to share this with your parish and/or school? Now available for download for bulk printing!

As a priest wife and mother, I create these resources with my parish and own home in mind. Last month I was able to share it with my own parish, which was so sweet! It’s really something to see something I’ve put so much time in being enjoyed by others! This last month I was contacted by an Orthodox school and a few parishes about wanting to share this print with their communities. I was thrilled and encouraged by the response!! Previously I didn’t have a listing option set up for bulk distribution, so this month I created one. These resources take a lot of time to put together, so I appreciate your purchase for ‘bulk print’ if you intend to distribute this to your parish or school.

Other Download Options Available for October:

This listing is intended for bulk printing and distribution for your parish or school.

Old Calendar (OS) This print is intended for a single family home.

Orthodox Christians often pray to St. Phanourios, the patron saint of lost things, when we’ve misplaced something. We ask for his intercession, and when the lost item is found, it is customary to bake phanouropita, bring it to church to be blessed by the priest, and then share it with the parish community.
