2024 Calendar of Liturgical Seasons: Medieval Serbia (Julian version, old calendar)

Item No. 006607

Julian or "old" calendar edition. If you celebrate Christmas/Nativity on January 7, this is the proper calendar for you.

The liturgical life of the Orthodox Church ebbs and flows right over the boundaries of 30-day months. Using a calendar governed by months limits your ability to see a whole Church season at once. This calendar’s spreads are governed by the feasts and fasts that structure the Orthodox year, which results in seven sections of varying length.

The 2024 calendar offers a journey through churches built by holy kings and queens of Serbia from the Nemanja dynasty, 1166-1391. This family established both the Serbian State and the Serbian Orthodox Church through brothers St Stephen the First-Crowned and St Sava, the first archbishop of Serbia.
