How are Orthodox Women navigating the world of dating and relationships? What harmful misinformation and myths are out there?

Axia Programs Manager Sherry Mohr will be interviewing author Lilyan Andrews about her new book, Waiting and Dating: An Orthodox Christian’s Guide for Navigating Singleness and Godly Relationships. We’ll be sharing their conversation tomorrow - stay tuned!

I have this beautiful icon of the Theotokos and Christ Child on a wooden egg. I wish I could remember when I received it, but I know it's been a part of our family for at least fifteen years.


As we approach their feast day, we are remembering the two Sts. Xenia by sharing this reflection by theologian Peter Bouteneff:

The first icon I ever bought was a print of Jesus and St. Peter walking on the water. Jesus Christ looks calm and strong, of course - Peter is slipping beneath the waves, and he looks terrified. A few apostles watch from their boat and the waves roll up higher than the boat itself, and they don’t look too comfortable either.

We had a request to post a list of single, non-monastic saints. Thank you to Brigid Strait Johns for pulling this together!
