Description

Introducing the Orthodox Bible app! This app is the perfect resource for those who want to study and explore the Orthodox Christian faith. With the Orthodox Bible app, you can access the full text and audio of the Old and New Testament in both English and Church Slavonic, as well as a variety of other Orthodox Christian texts. The app also includes daily readings and a calendar of feasts and fasts, making it easy to stay connected to your faith every day. Whether you are a seasoned Orthodox Christian or just starting to learn about the faith, the Orthodox Bible app is an essential tool for your spiritual journey.

Use this app to track the dates of other religious holidays in the
Orthodox calendar such as Christmas, Epiphany, Theophany, and the Dormition of the Theotokos. These holidays are based on the liturgical Orthodox calendar, which is a cycle of readings and liturgical services that are used in the Orthodox churches. The liturgical Orthodox calendar follows the same patterns and themes throughout the year, and it is closely tied to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Why follow the Orthodox calendar:
- Mindfulness and introspection, humility recognizing one's own smallness in the grand scheme of God's plan and purpose.
- Build discipline and routine in one's spiritual practice
- Foster a deeper sense of connection to the divine
- Take time to reflect on the sacrifices and teachings of Jesus Christ by observing religious holidays
- Foster a sense of community and shared spiritual practice with other Eastern Orthodox believers.

The Orthodox calendar, also known as the Julian calendar, is the calendar used by many Eastern Orthodox churches around the world to determine the dates of religious holidays and observances. It is based on the Julian calendar, which was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC and is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. The Orthodox calendar has different dates for Easter and other religious holidays, which are based on the liturgical calendar. It is an important part of the religious tradition and culture of the Eastern Orthodox churches.

The Orthodox calendar is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in the Western world. This difference is due to the fact that the Orthodox churches did not adopt the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII as a reform of the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar has a leap year rule that eliminates the accumulated error of the Julian calendar, so the Orthodox church still use the Julian calendar.

The Orthodox calendar follows the same month names as the Julian calendar, which are: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. However, the Orthodox calendar has different dates for Easter, which is the most important religious holiday for Christians. The Orthodox Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is different from the Western Easter, which is always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.

Upgrades and bug fixes

When reading manually through bible it sometimes glitches and takes you back to the very top.

Also would be good to have a section like a book marker so you know exactly where you left off.

Thanks

Full of annoying ads

Forces you to view ads before even being able to read the Bible, what sort of pharisee nonsense is that

Developer Response ,

Hello,
We do have an ad free version of the app if you do not want to see any ads. Unfortunately, creating and maintaining an app is quite expensive, and we do have to show some ads in the free version of the app to help cover some of these expenses. We consistently add new features and are quick to fix any bugs that are brought to our attention. We volunteer our extra time and resources to keep this app going for you and the rest of our Orthodox community; your appreciation, support, and patience would be most helpful. God Bless.
