Useful Links and Programs
An excellent free program (for Windows only) which provides the daily troparian and kontakian as well as an image of the relevant icon(s) for the day. The program was written by one of the members of Saint John the Wonderworker parish in Atlanta, which is one of the parishes in the OCA Diocese of the South. Note that the program can be augmented by downloading additional (and free) translations of the Bible, including an updated public domain version of the Old Testament intended to conform to the LXX.
You can find answers to some of the questions you've been wanting to ask (and perhaps some questions you haven't even thought of!) at the website of the OCA Cathedral in Boston.
You can find a lot of useful material - music, saints of the day, latest OCA news, etc. - at the website of the Orthodox Church in America.
You can find information specific to the Diocese of the South (our diocese) here.
Isabel Florence Hapgood, in 1906, compiled and translated from Church Slavonic into English almost all of the orders of service used by the Orthodox Church. That very useful work is now in the public domain and is available for download, for personal, non-commercial use, as a PDF document from this website.
Please note that this is a rather large file, approximately 15 meg, and will take a bit of time to download, so you may want to save the downloaded file on your own PC for quicker reference in the future.
