I'm Christina Riordan, an Orthodox Christian gathering the memory of the undivided Church — so that what was scattered can be found again in one place. This channel is a lamp, not a parish. If these readings draw you, visit a living Orthodox church.

Each day I read aloud from The Great Collection of the Lives of the Saints, compiled by St. Demetrius of Rostov and translated into English by Fr. Thomas Marretta.

Please forgive errors in pronunciation, especially of names. I read the words as they stand in the book, as faithfully as I can. Thank you for your grace, and thank you for listening. 

* Orthodox Women:  A small sisterhood meets through Discord to read the Psalms and to pray together between our local liturgies. If you'd like to join, ask through our website.

“The saints are not another world. They are this world, healed.”
