So saying the gifts came from Santa is pretty much indistinguishable from veneration of Saint Nicholas with the glory ultimately going to Christ.
Saint Nicholas is and was a real person. Among many other exploits, he was the 105th vote to ratify the Nicene Creed. He actually snuck into people's houses and left gold so their kids could get married and start families instead of sinking into low occupations. When caught, he

I'm desperate seeking a link for the Romanian Lectionary. Even if it's in Romanian, I'm sure I can translate names of the different books of Scripture to English in order to find them. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I'd be interested in hearing solid arguments against this from women. I know - there are no women on the internet. But some of you claim to be, so please have a stab at taking this position apart. Under age 40 only, please.
I didn't go to college until I was 30. This gave me a chance to see it with the perspective of an adult. One lecture in Industrial Psychology, in particular, I will never forget. The professor spoke about how an effective job description focused on concretely measurable

I've never seen that quote before. That's...quite something.
@EthanWayne2001 @AngloVarangian All people concern themselves with their own peoples first. It’s just nature. It’s not malicious, but it does have an expected effect wherever a multiplicity of people groups are compelled to interact. Who else to cite but the very Ecumenical Patriarch himself?

We're in a bizarre situation now where quite realistic and satisfying vegan cheese and meat replacements, along with some very sugary drinks and sweets (candy to you Americans) are "fasting food," but an egg on toast isn't. Straying into Talmudic loophole territory.

I'm looking for good Orthodox Christian commentaries on the books of the Old Testament. Please post suggestions. Preferably older established commentaries rather than very recent ones, bonus if available in audio format. Thanks.
