The Orthodox Church is experiencing major growth as people, especially in the modern West, reject the shallow materialism of modernity and return home to the ancient faith of the Christian fathers dating back to the time of Christ. The time-tested spiritual nourishment offered by the Orthodox Faith, unchanged for two millenia, is a rock of consistency in a raging sea of self-interest. The reinvigorated culture of monasticism in Orthodoxy in the 21st century has played no small part in the expansion of the One True Faith.

For cradle Orthodox, icons, books, crosses and prayer items have been parts of our lives and homes since before we can remember. But for many Orthodox catechumens (faithful who are proceeding towards baptism or chrismation) these items may be new or unfamiliar. We are grateful to be able to offer Holy Icons, Crosses, prayer ropes and books, all of which make excellent gifts for catechumens to set them on the right path.
