Every month the leaders of my Cub Scout Pack meet in the science cassroom of a Roman Catholic school. On the wall is a poster of their liturgical calendar. I look at it with envy every month. I wish such a thing existed for Orthodox kids, so they could see how the year fits together. Our calendar poster would be much more detailed, with weekly tones, fasts & feasts, etc.
The other thing I wish we had was a books of the Bible poster like the Protestants had when I was a boy. It was a simple thing. It showed two book cases, one the left was the OT, on the right was the NT. Shelves on the left were labeled "Law", "History", "Poetry", "Major Prophets", & "Minor Prophets". The shelves on the Right were labeled "Gospels", "History", "Epistles", and "Prophecy". The poster showed each book of the Protestant Bible as a book on one of these shelves.
I don't think I am up to making a poster of the Calendar but I might try the poster of the books of the Orthodox Holy Scriptures. I don't think it would be too hard. And, I think, there is a need for this kind of stuff. It helps kids learn who they are and what is important.

Oooh, that is very nifty indeed! I would love to see one in Orthodoxy as well.
Yes, yes, go for it! I loved that bookcase chart and used it with all my kids. With a little help from some clergy, I bet you could do some kind of church calendar wheel...it would have to be a little different each year, but some computer program could help with that, too, couldn't it?
I bet there are a lot of adult converts who would benefit greatly by this visual aid. As it is I am swimming in this wide ocean without knowing the currents very well.
Good – I should certainly say I'm impressed with your web site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs as well as related info. It ended up being truly simple to access. Excellent job.. Mens beach wedding linen suit
