Independently Published The Lives of the Saints for Orthodox Christians

UPDATED:Now with an Index by Feast Day for those who want to read these lives following the Church calendar.A sweeping treasury of holiness across the centuries, The Lives of the Saints for Orthodox Christians presents over six hundred carefully selected saintly lives, from the Old Testament patriarchs to 20th-century martyrs and confessors. This unique collection spans the breadth of the Orthodox world-and beyond-gathering saints from every major era of Christian history and every corner of the historic Church.Rather than following a liturgical calendar, this volume is thoughtfully arranged by epoch and geography: beginning with the angelic hosts and biblical figures, progressing through the early Church Fathers, and then unfolding across the great civilizations of the Christian world-from the Eastern Roman Empire to Western Europe, from the deserts of Egypt to the forests of Russia, and from the mountains of Georgia to the shores of Alaska.Included are revered names like Saint Anthony the Great, Saint Gregory the Theologian, and Saint Basil the Great, alongside lesser-known pre-schism Western saints such as Saint Bede the Venerable, Saint Patrick of Ireland, and Saint Alfred the Great, and modern elders like Saint Nectarios of Pentapolis, Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, and Saint John Maximovitch of San Francisco.Some of the Western and recent Saints included in this book amongst many others.Saints of AmericaVenerable Herman of AlaskaMetropolitan Innocent of AlaskaSaint Jacob NetsvetovArchbishop John (Maximovitch) the WonderworkerPatriarch Tikhon of Moscow, Apostle to AmericaHieromartyr Juvenaly of AlaskaMatushka Olga Michael of Alaska (local commemoration)Anglo-Saxon & British SaintsSaint Alfred the Great, King of WessexSaint Bede the Theologian of JarrowSaint Cuthbert of LindisfarneSaint Aidan of LindisfarneSaint Dunstan of CanterburySaint Wilfrid of YorkMartyr Edward the King & Passion-BearerMartyr Oswald of NorthumbriaMartyr Edmund, King of East AngliaElders and Martyrs of Mount AthosVenerable Paisios of Mount AthosVenerable Porphyrios the KapsokaliviteSaint Silouan the AthoniteVenerable Athanasius of AthosVenerable Peter the AthoniteVenerable Acacius of Mount AthosVenerable Niphon of Mount AthosFool-for-Christ Hieromonk Anthymus of AthosMonk-Martyr Nicodemus of Mount AthosVenerable-Martyr James of Mount Athos and his disciples
