New: the saint of the day, the daily Epistle & Gospel in full, and your family's name-days — with the fasting calendar Synaxis already gets right.
Synaxis is a calm, reverent companion for the Orthodox Christian day — built by Orthodox, for Orthodox. No ads. No tracking. Pay once, if ever.
Every morning, know exactly where you stand: today's fast, the saint and feast commemorated, the appointed readings, and the prayers to keep. Synaxis gets the fasting calendar right — the thing most apps get wrong — for both the New (Revised Julian) and Old (Julian) calendars.
THE DAILY FAST, DONE RIGHT
• Today's fasting rule at a glance — strict, wine & oil, fish, dairy, or fast-free — and the reason why
• A clear guide to every fasting level and calendar marker
• The full fasting and feast calendar: Great Lent, Holy Week, Pascha, and the Apostles', Dormition, and Nativity fasts; Wednesdays & Fridays; fast-free weeks
• Pascha computed by the traditional Paschalion, with the whole movable cycle years ahead
SAINTS & THE SYNAXARION
• The saints and commemorations of every day of the year
• Name-days: find any name's patron saint and when the Church celebrates it
THE DAILY READINGS
• The appointed Epistle and Gospel of the day, in full — public-domain text, offline
PRAYERS & THE JESUS PRAYER
• The daily prayer rule in reverent, traditional English (public-domain texts)
• A digital prayer rope (chotki) for the Jesus Prayer
CHOOSE YOUR TRADITION
• New Calendar (Greek, Antiochian) or Old Calendar (Russian, OCA) — your own calendar, always free
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
• A widget with today's fast and feast, in the liturgical color of the day
• Gentle, optional fast-day reminders
ALWAYS FREE
The fast, the calendar, the saint of the day, the daily readings, the prayers, and the prayer rope are free, forever, for everyone. No ads. No tracking. Synaxis collects no data.
