Orthodox Church Celebrates Saint Benedict and Other Saints

The Orthodox Church commemorates today, March 14th, the memory of Saint Benedict of Nursia and other Saints. The day falls within the 3rd Week of Lent. Saint Benedict, founder of the famous Monte Cassino Monastery, shaped an important monastic rule based on prayer and work. Saint Matilda, Saint Euschemon the Confessor, Saint Theognostos the Greek, and Saints Basil and Euphrasius are also honored. The Church calls on believers to cultivate prayer, fasting, and humility during Great Lent.
