NEW CALENDAR VERSION

Plan meals, almsgiving, and intercessions, plus prepare for all of the liturgical observances with this Lenten planner and study companion for Orthodox Christians! Organize your practical concerns for the season with dated calendars that include fasting, saints and feasts, then move into weekly studies on each Sunday and feast of the Great Fast.
