“The wealth of the Orthodox Calendar, with its inspiring commemorations, is so great that on any day one can begin the holy task which St. Herman gave to us as a testament to Orthodoxy on this continent—‘From this day, from this hour, from this minute let us strive to love God above all.’ May every day be for us such a beginning!” —Hieromonk Seraphim Rose

The 2024 St. Herman Calendar is dedicated to Orthodoxy in Persia.

The lead article provides an overview of the history of Christianity in Persia (now known as Iran), beginning with the pre-Christian era, followed by the Parthian period, when hundreds of Orthodox churches were established, and continuing into the Sasanian period, during which great numbers of Christians bore witness to their faith in Christ through martyrdom. Also included in the 2024 Calendar are brief biographies of some of the saints who illumined Persia with the light of Christ.
