Naughton’s Nonsense

"May those who love us, love us.
For those who don't, may God turn their hearts.
And if he cannot turn their hearts.
May he turn their ankles
so we may know them by their limping."

-Irish Proverb (author unknown)

Orthodox Calendar: Feasts and Fasts
Filed under: — Nonsense by: Christopher G. Naughton @ 15:56:38

Well I have assigned myself a new task: Making a calendar. Using the information published on The Orthodox Church in America’s website and Apple’s iCal I am making a calendar containing the Feasts and Fasts of the Orthodox Church. The calendars can be viewed, printed, downloaded, and subscribed (for those lucky enough to have a Mac, although I hear there are plugins for some win apps to subscribe also) to at http://icalexchange.com/public/cnaughton/Feasts.ics for the Feasts and http://icalexchange.com/public/cnaughton/Fasts.ics for the Fasts. I am doing this slowly right now all that is up is a reduced version of November. My plan is to do one month each day with the Feasts and Fasts that are most common. Once I have finished that I plan to add the lesser known Feasts and Fasts. I am using two separate calendars so that I may have each one display differently, unfortunately that does not happen on the web version. I am sure for my friends who do calendrics(sp?) this is child’s play but I have been unable to find an electronic calendar that does what I am attempting to do. If you subscribe to the calendar all the events link to their description on the OCA Website. I am open for comments, suggestions, feature requests, or ideas on how to do something better. I am also going to link to the calendars on my navbar. Also if anyone knows of an easy and concise way to calculate Pascha it would be appreciated.
