Synaxarion

A Synaxarion is a religious text used in Eastern Orthodox and some other Christian traditions, containing summaries of saints’ lives, feast days, and liturgical events for each day of the year. It serves as a calendar guide, helping worshippers observe specific commemorations and celebrations. Think of it as a daily religious almanac that provides context, stories, and significance behind the church’s annual cycles. It is often used in church services and personal devotion to deepen understanding and participation in the liturgical life of the church.
