The translation of the Old Testament from the Septuagint into English is a process that involves both linguistic expertise and a deep understanding of the historical and cultural context of the original texts. The Septuagint, often abbreviated as LXX, is an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, specifically the Old Testament, which holds significant importance in the history of biblical scholarship.
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.

Ratings and Reviews
The paid version is worth the money
Although it has some imperfections, I love this app already. I like to sit in the mornings and evenings with a cup of tea and just close my eyes and listen. It is very inexpensive app for the value of what you get. Support the developers so they can make it even better :D
Terrible App.
Don’t get me wrong, I am orthodox. The biggest flaw with this application is that it’s made to make money. You can’t read the bible unless your connected to the internet, there is an add after every button you touch, even if your connected to the internet the only thing you can do is read the bible. You can’t listen to the audio books and other stuff. God is not a means of making money. If they had just made the app completely free form subscription and advertising it would have easily been a 5 star and one of the most downloaded apps. If your going through the reviews to see if it’s worth it let me tell you it’s not. I’m being completely honest here.

Hi Abrsh21,
I am sorry to hear you are frustrated about the ads in the app. Ideally, we would not want to put ads in the Orthodox Bible, but developing and maintaining apps in the app stores costs quite a bit of money. In addition, we are a very small team of believers who work full time, do not get paid to do this, and are only able to work on it in our spare time. We do have a very low cost monthly and yearly version without any ads. It is our hope that enough people who can afford the app will buy it, help us cover the costs of maintaining the app, putting in new features, etc, and have it available free for everyone. We are a new app and still have a lot of improvements and development work to do, which is extremely expensive. Unfortunately, many apps may tell you they are free and do not have ads, but are likely hiding many of their best features from you unless you are a premium subscriber. If this is not the case, they are financially well supported by mega churches to cover all of their technology needs. Unfortunately, we do not have this kind of support. I hope this helps you understand our reasoning. Thank you and God Bless.
Ads in the Bible?!
This just seems wrong on a serious level. I can read literally any other version of the Bible through apps like YouVersion and Blue Letter. Only orthodox is excluded. And then the “free” app has ads? And not just ads…constant ads. I had to go through 3 ads just to get to a point where I could actually access any scripture…and then there’s an ad banner while I’m trying to read. And still…all this could be forgiven if I could just buy the app and be done with it. But no. It’s a subscription. This just feels shameful. This is NOT how we promote the faith. And yet I am the only negative review. Nobody else has a problem with the shameless monetization of God’s word here? I’m just in disbelief.
