So I plan on making these crocheted censers during Lent. If anyone is interested in purchasing, please send me a DM. I will also sell in quantities at a lower price if you'd like to buy them to sell in your church giftshop.
A portion of the sales I make goes to my parish (the
Cute southern girl who doesn't need fake lips and a metric ton of makeup to be attractive. She's also very productive. Someone is raging with jealousy 😆

Eh... this looks 80s to me. Rainbow Bright was huge. Rainbows were all over little girls' clothing when I was young. I wouldn't ascribe anything weird to this, it's on point.
You people who have very rigid ideas of gender roles are going to be in for a very rude awakening if your spouse, God forbid, ever becomes disabled or dies. Teach your boys to cook, it's not going to make them women. Teach your girls to fix a flat tire, they won't be lesbians.
A couple of years ago I had a Twitter account. BC I am pro-life, I made the unfortunate mistake of sharing that I became pregnant as a young teenager and kept my child. The responses, even from many "orthodox" Christians was to call me names and question my virtues...
Every one of these AI "purifying" things I've seen is not "pure" at all. It's just more "trad" fetishing. Take this one, not only did they unnecessarily perfect her teeth and smile, they made her top more low cut, breasts significantly larger and added cleavage. This isn't
Hot Take: if you don't go to church on Sundays because of some activity your child is involved in, you are teaching them that baseball/building robots/legos/etc are is more important than God. I'll die on that hill.
I refuse to cave to the pressure to stop using the word retard. Or to stop using the word gay to describe something stupid. I claim being grandmothered into this terminology.
Marriage isn't transactional. If one of you gets sick and permanently disabled, the other will be doing more than 50%. That's what you signed up for so you'd better make sure you love that person and would lay down your life for him/her. Don't keep score.
What do you do for your church? Are you on the council/board? Do you serve or sing? Do you bring food for coffee hour? Do you donate your time as well as your $? Do you show up to help with bake sales and dinners and when the Bishop comes? Or do you just sit on X and debate?
Treasure this moment, Dad.
What you’re seeing here is a posture known as the “newborn scrunch” - legs and arms tucked in close to the chest. It mimics the fetal position most babies adopt during the final weeks in utero and provides them a sense of comfort and security after
The internet makes me glad I'm over 40, converted to the truth and happily married to someone even older. I don't know how how you kids navigate this BS. I don't have to care about being "mid" or " trad" or any of these nonsense labels that you all impose upon each other....
Here's my post Paschal hot take: Orthodox services shouldn't be recorded then shared with heterodox to be subjected to mocking and ridicule. Holy things are for the holy. I will not share Thy mysteries with Thine enemies.
That's the TL;DR and here's the nuance... Live streaming
My heart truly aches for young Orthodox, especially men. I know how difficult it is for all of you. If I could matchmake every young orthodox person in the world, I'd make it my life's work! All I can do is pray for you but please don't give up hope! 🔴🥚
Can you imagine calling yourself an Orthodox Christian and as some sort of "journalist", approaching a priest and his parish to be photographed and interviewed for an article about the "Spread of Orthodoxy in Texas" but actually writing a hit piece suggesting that said priest
I had to block someone I generally didn't dislike. He kept saying that people who marry outside of their race are engaging in a satanic practice, and the church does NOT teach that. I generally don't go for all the "rAciSm" BS, but there are people who truly disgust me.
Imagine calling yourself an Orthodox Christian and saying the most vile things to and about women on the internet.
Most Holy Theotokos pray to God for us! ☦️
Guys, stop talking like this, especially while sporting a cross... this isn't Christian, let alone Orthodox, to refer to your wife as your "wh0re".
Also, I think everyone should stop dragging this woman. She made mistakes and she's since repented and stopped, as far as we know.
The perpetual virginity of Mary is not just manufactured theological nonsense, it's a feminist cancer suggesting women can deny their husbands sex without sinning.
Good thing Joseph was routinely blessed by Mary, blessed among women.
@JLDenelsbeck
Why is this even weird? Maybe they think pancakes are something else? I can't imagine anything, literally anything, that wouldn't be improved by adding butter.
The idea that the Church needs to change to suit people is backward. People need to change. This is why the oath is narrow... it's not supposed to be comfortable, convenient, or easy.
It's Abortion Providers Appreciation Day. We want to celebrate all the amazing people providing safe abortions every single day.
Join us in thanking them for supporting women who wish to end their own pregnancy.

Dudes that want a trad wife: Women need to be virgins before marriage and dress in potato sacks
Same dudes: *buy calendar with half naked women* and ask anyone who protests "wHy dO YoU hATe FrEEdOm?!?!1?"
Remember all the Ortho anon trolls who were raging at me yesterday? Even anonymity wasn't enough protection against Catholic rebuttals! No surprise that someone who is afraid of being publicly associated with their claimed religion would be afraid of honest debate.
I'm a woman. I cry like a flipping baby when I am angry. I can't debate. I am not going to apologize for that, especially to men bitching about how women are too masculine. Which is it, dude?
My son was born in a pool of water in our living room. My husband was in the pool with me. The midwife handed him the baby shortly after birth and took me upstairs to shower. My husband held our son like this for about 15-20 mins. Also, I dare you to say this to McGregor's face.
Wtf are men doing this for? Sorry, you're not the nurturers. You're not soft and comforting for a baby... especially not him. You can't feed them.
It's f**king creepy.
There's a small subset of "Orthodox" dudes on here who like to throw out the "women shouldn't teach," particularly as a very lazy way to "win" and argument... which is hilariously ironic because they don't even understand that verse. These guys deserve zero respect.
Rebranding abuse and neglect as being a “silky mom”….. hmm interesting
(Yes, priming children to have future lifestyle induced chronic health issues is a form of abuse).
Pray for me, please, if youd be so kind. My headache/digestive issues yesterday came with some concerning symptoms that I am not going to share or talk about here.
In addition, I have to make food for coffee hour for a rapidly growing parish tomorrow and I always over extend
I don't want to see a guy lighting himself on fire for any reason. If you share it, you're getting muted.
Suicide is blasphemy, not martyrdom. There is nothing glorious about it, ever.
Even if someone is just looking for attention, there is no shame in praying for them or anyone simply asking for prayer. We pray for the sick and for our enemies. The Church is a hospital.

If I had a fruit tree in my backyard, I'd research it, yeah. Exactly my point. A whole generation of ppl who grew up with the internet don't know how to use it beneficially.
Blocking people who cite canons and act like they alone are keepers of the Orthodox Rules™️ I'm done with it. One moron read some canons and talked to a guy, apostatized and is now telling clergy what they can and can't do. It's not worth talking to these people.
My husband and I are both previously divorced (initiated by our exspouses). I said I'd never get married again and through God this man became my best friend, won me over and after 10 years of marriage converted me to Orthodoxy (with him, he grew up RC) from weird pagan agnostic.
@theclassicwife
I feel so bad for these women. My ex watched it all the time, he also talked to other women (and once a 16 yo girl!!) behind my back on the online game he played when I was pregnant. I was always made to feel by everyone around me that it was normal and I shouldn't have a problem
John Daly commented on the transgender playing on the LPGA Tour saying “I would’ve won 100 tournaments if I threw on a skirt and called myself a tranny. That dude is as feminine as a Ford F-150.”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP PAINTING BRICK!!! 😭
The house had so much character, appeal and was unique and now it’s like every other middle aged millennial with a podcast 😑
Orthodox are fake...
Funny because I was in church last Thursday morning for 2.5 hours, Thursday evening 3 hrs, Great and Holy Friday Royal hours for 2 hours then Vespers/Matins for 2.5 hrs, Holy Saturday Vespural Liturgy for 2.5 hours and Nocturns at 11:00PM unto divine Liturgy
Glory to God! This woman will have to carry her "less than perfect" child to term, birth him/her and give him/her a proper burial. Not rip him/her limb from limb in her womb to be disposed of as medical waste, even though it may reduce her chance of having another "normal" child.
13 years ago today I made the leap to commit to the love of my life. I don't often give super personal details on here and I'm not gonna, but my husband is my best friend and the love of my life. I look at him and still get butterflies. When he leaves and pulls back in the
I've been hearing people sharing a lot of weird stuff going on at their parishes...
A couple of weeks ago we were having a vigil service. On of the kids saw a guy outside from the altar and said something. My husband went out, in his sticharion, to confront the guy and he ran
Hey
@Meagan_Salia
. In your professional journalistic opinion, who after the release of your article might want to scam people from St. Jonah's into providing a full list of members?
@Prolife_Sam
It doesn't even faze this person that 28 of his own children are sitting in a freezer somewhere. He has to pretend like they're a different species to make himself feel better about it.
Old Lady Hot Take incoming...
Can we please stop pretending like anyone is uncontrollably turned on by hair in 2024?
If a woman doesn't have her head covered in church, just admit that you're mad because you think she's not doing it right and you're being a self-righteous
🤣🤣 Homeschooling is great because my son just called me queer after having read The Hobbit. He has no idea how that word has been co-opted and I love it.
My husband wouldn't tolerate any woman doing this to him. He actually respects the sacrament of marriage.
Not for nothing, every single person I knew who did this 15-20 years ago is now divorced. Same with the ones in "open" marriages. Just sayin.
@Stormimay
I used to have nightmares about my kids drowning constantly. Thank God she's alive and well!
My middle son fell in my ex in-laws' man made koi pond when he was just 5 because no one was watching him. Thank God my oldest (11) at the time saw it happen and pulled him out right
It's fun to watch the horrified faces of heterodox attending infant baptism in the Church. The Faithful are smiling ear-to-ear and the others are looking on horrified as if the priest is drowning the baby 😆
