An app created with love for Orthodox Christians. We have tried to gather in one place as much as possible of what is needed for the spiritual life, and we continue to add with God's help.
The app was originally developed in Romanian and most of the library content (books, audio, video) remains in Romanian. However, the interface, calendar, Lives of the Saints, Synaxarion,
Troparia, Kontakia, and church/monastery descriptions are available in English. We are gradually translating more content.
