Welcome to the Web Store of Dormition Skete, located in the mountains outside of beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado. We are an Orthodox Christian monastery, living according to the traditions handed down to us by the holy fathers and mothers of the Orthodox Church. Our monastery is entirely self-supporting. We do not solicit contributions for our continuing existence, although we do greatly appreciate them. Dormition Skete offers some of the finest icons available in the world. We offer hand-painted panel icons and frescoes, as well as mounted icons. Further, we also produce some of the highest quality incense available, along with many other products relating to the Orthodox Faith. Holy Apostles Convent, located just down the hill from us, translates the Holy Scriptures and the Lives of the Saints from the original Greek texts, and publishes them in extraordinarily high quality books. All of the convent publications are lavishly adorned with icons throughout the text for the reader's edification and enjoyment. Please take the time to visit their website, too, at http://www.HolyApostlesConvent.org. Please take some time to explore our website, and we hope you will order some of the fruits of our labors.
 Dormition Skete rejoices to present to the Orthodox Faithful of America an all new 2008 Calendar.
The 2008 Calendar has been printed in full color, indicating the fasting rules of the Church with a distinct color scheme. The Calendar has both Old and New Calendar dates. Calendar has been appropriately illustrated with numerous icons for each month, denoting the prominent feasts of the Lord and Virgin Mary, as well as prominent feast days of the more noted Saints. Each day also has an adequate space for notes. By popular request, the 2008 Calendar also includes most major Civil Holidays. On the back side of each month is a full color icon. Each month this year is adorned with an icon of one of our Twelve Holy Apostles. The cover is adorned with an icon of The Mystical Icon of the Orthodox Church - The Ark - one of our most popular icons. The 2008 Calendar is available now. |
