May Orthodox Liturgical Printable
Christ is Risen! Start off the new month with an intentional plan to incorporate the liturgical life into your home, with a few simple additions. Living our faith in a modern world is not easy, so my hope is to provide a simple one page monthly guide to assist you through some “bite sized” traditions and ideas, so you can spend less time figuring out what to do, and spend more living liturgically. Here’s what you’ll find:
Each Month Includes :
Important dates in the Orthodox Church Calendar and a few reminders of common traditions associated so you know what's coming up and plan accordingly
One saint focus for the month - this month learn all about St Emilia, known as the mother of saints. Perfect theme for those celebrating Mother’s Day this month!
Family Corner - building family culture takes intention, so we've included a simple ideas for the whole family to enjoy - and who knows, it might even become a yearly tradition for you!
Activity - one of the best ways to help kids engage in the Liturgical Calendar is by bringing the stories to life! Making those connections outside of church can be really helpful so when they are in church for the services they can make those connections in the Liturgy, icons, and hymnography. And don't worry, you don't have to be a “crafty” parent to do these activities.
Song - let's learn one song a month, shall we? By singing the hymn weekly, you'll begin to familiarize yourself with it so by the time you hear it sung in church, you'll already have it written in your heart ❤️ the Liturgical Hymns hold the meaning behind each Feasts, so learning them will be a great joy
I hope you enjoy this print. I put my heart into it, hoping that families would be encouraged to live the Orthodox faith confidently, knowing our Hope is found in the Lord.
