Living Liturgically in October
On this page you will find resources for popular feast days celebrated in the Orthodox Church in October
Here is a collection of blogposts for feast days and saints celebrated in the month of October. In each of these blogs you will find summarized information about the feast/saints, activity suggestions for younger and older kids, reading suggestions and more. These are not just activities for activities sake, of course. My hope is that these will aid you in sharing more about our faith with your children in a way that is developmentally appropriate, allows for their exploration and participation in the feast, and hopefully cultivate a rich soil in their hearts that allows the seed of Truth that stays with them all the days of their life. I absolutely love learning more about the saints and feast days and try my best to set them apart from other days. I hope these resources are a blessing to you!
October - Liturgically speaking, October is, in theory, a “slower” liturgical month as we have no major feasts during this month. We are enjoying the changing season and the many feast days of the Apostles and other well-known saints. We are looking ahead now to the coming season - Advent. The Nativity Fast is approaching quickly (begins Nov 15). In the resources below, you will find some resources relevant to the month of October!
1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and yet it remains perhaps the most under discussed tragedy in our culture.

These resources are intended for those who are Orthodox Christians, so the resources will be through that lens
