Living Liturgically in February
On this page you will find resources for popular feast days celebrated in the Orthodox Church in February.
Here is a collection of blogposts for feast days and saints celebrated in the month of February. 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!
Great Lent is a special gift that the Church gives us in order to help us re-focus our lives on Christ. The Orthodox Church has set aside 40 days (plus Holy Week) as a special time of repentance and calls us to a long and sustained spiritual effort. It’s a wonderful journey to the very source of the Orthodox faith; a rediscovery of the Christian way of life. A chance to renew or zeal, set aright our priorities, and live as true Christians. As we recognize this significant shift in our liturgical calendar, I wanted to provide resources and ideas to help you cultivate a lenten environment in your homes and with your families.
