Welcome
"We have a lot to learn by looking to our Fathers and looking to our Tradition. Our souls are just like theirs; they haven’t changed over time. We have a beautiful depth of knowledge in the writings of the Fathers, and bringing it to center stage in our very modern world is exactly what people need right now."
Erika Melek, Woman of the Week
We love the prayer of St. Brigid (which we recently posted) so much that we started to wonder what other prayers out there were written by Orthodox women! We’re starting a new series, and would love it if you would send us prayers of women throughout the ages - especially Orthodox women. We’d love to share your favorites, perhaps from a meaningful female saint, or translation by a woman of a prayer or psalm you love. Send them to us at axia@axiawomen.org and let us know why it’s meaningful to you.
Deadline is May 30.
We can't wait to see what you send!

We hope to hear from you!

We hope to hear from you soon!
