ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY THEN AND NOW: Saints and Feasts of June 20

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world. Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith. This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day. If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially. Your donations help sustain and expand this work, maintain the websites, fund future projects and publications, and allow me to continue dedicating my time to serving the Church through this ministry. Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
