Book Question

I read somewhere

I am certain

about a book that

has the daily Bible Readings for the year

with the Saints stories for each day.

*

I have found this Bible

that has Orthodox Commentary

and it would be most lovely to own;

Frederica Matthewes-Green mentioned it

on a recent podcast;

however

I really want the one with Saints Stories...

*

Not that I can buy it now but you know

someday I do hope to have a job!! :)

*

Anyone know what book this was?

*

update:

wow, You all are wonderful!

Thank you for all the book suggestions;

I actually have the Calendar

and I know of the Prologue of Orchid

and it is wonderful to see that is online;

I don't think I knew that... so Thank you!

I have yet to read it so this is great news.

I thought I had seen a book

that had the Daily Bible Readings actually

printed in it along with a Saint story of the day

you know

an all-in-one Bible Reading and Saints Day Reading

book;

kind of like a 1 year Bible for Orthodox

but it was the Daily Readings

plus Saint story and list of other Saints commemorated;

perhaps it is just laziness on my part

but I would love to have the readings for the year

(of course some of them would be moving

since Lent and Pascha always move)

set out in one book along with a Saints Story.

I thought I saw such a book, but

have not seen it since

so I am not 100% sure.

And to be honest I don't quite understand how the Daily Bible Readings

in the Orthodox calendar work

though I have been trying to read them faithfully for a few years,

so it could be that I misunderstood the book I thought I saw

and am now looking for.

*

Someday I would like to own the

The Synaxarion
in hard cover but that can be a bit pricey.

The calendar that Mimi so kindly showed me a link for

is WONDERFUL.

My Godmother gave me one for my first Christmas as an

Orthodox Christian

and while I have not kept up with buying them

(job etc)

I use my old ones and really find it to be a very integral part of my

prayer life.

So if you are looking for a place to start with Saint stories

I do recommend this calendar to you,

it is new calendar and lists the Bible readings for the day

and if it is a fast day or not,

according to the Greek Orthodox church.

(I currently go to an old calendar church but have been on both calendars

and it is easy to use on either

esp. if you have a yearly calendar from your church to show you which

main Saint's day it is.)

*

Anyway,

I hope this explains more of what book I thought I saw

and what I am looking for.

You're all great and I love hearing your comments!

Any other suggestions or books that you think

may be good for me to know about either

the Orthodox Bible Readings

or Saint Stories

are fully welcome!
