About OCHRID
A friend recently sent me the link to the Prologue from Ochrid on the Australian ROCOR site. When I clicked on the link, I found that the experience and visual design left much to be desired, as it is hosted on the web archive. Being a software engineer by trade, I decided to rehost this content to make it available to the Orthodox faithful in a simple, accessible, and focused way. I have also elected to include the daily readings. I hope this will be useful for my brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Prologue from Ochrid is a collection of lives of saints and homilies for every day of the year, compiled by St. Nikolai Velimirović (1880-1956), Bishop of Ochrid and Žiča. This treasury of Orthodox wisdom has been a beloved companion to the faithful for generations, offering daily spiritual nourishment through the examples of the saints, beautiful hymns, profound reflections, and instructive homilies.
