Kandilo is a calm Orthodox calendar and prayer companion for daily Christian life. See today's fast, what it allows and why the Church keeps it, together with the feast of the day, the saints commemorated and your own daily prayer rule. Everything follows the Orthodox tradition you choose, in your language.
Kandilo keeps the lamp burning. It brings the church calendar, prayer book and daily commemorations into one quiet, respectful place.
WHAT KANDILO DOES
- Shows today's fast, what may be eaten and the reason for the fast
- Presents the feast and saints of the day, with their lives to read
- Opens the fasting and feast calendar for the current month
- Provides a prayer book, a prayer rule you can check off and a komboskini prayer rope counter
- Offers two home screen widgets for a quick look at the day
YOUR TRADITION, NOT A GENERIC ONE
Kandilo follows the calendar you actually keep. Choose from 15 Orthodox traditions across the New Calendar (Revised Julian) and Old Calendar (Julian): Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, Mount Athos, the Russian Church and ROCOR, Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Polish, Finnish, the OCA and the Ukrainian churches. Fasting rules, feasts and saints' commemorations follow the tradition you pick.
FOLLOW THE FASTING YEAR
The calendar places the four fasting seasons in the rhythm of the Church year: Great Lent, the Apostles' Fast, the Dormition Fast and the Nativity Fast. It also marks Holy Week, the date of Pascha, the great feasts and the weekly Wednesday and Friday fasts according to the selected tradition.
Open any day to see whether it is a fast day, the foods allowed and the reason for that observance. The monthly Orthodox calendar remains available offline because dates and fasting rules are computed on your device.
PRAYER FOR EACH DAY
The prayer book keeps core Orthodox prayers close at hand. Use a prayer rule that can be checked off, read morning prayers and evening prayers, and keep count with the komboskini prayer rope counter. Gentle reminders can support the times you choose without setting the pace for you.
SAINTS AND FEASTS
Each day shows the feast and the saints commemorated. Their lives are available to read, with full lives in Serbian, Russian and Romanian and English text as the fallback in other languages. The saints of the day sit beside the fasting guidance and prayers, so the day's observance can be understood as a whole.
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
The app, prayers and saints' names are available in ten languages: English, Serbian in Cyrillic and Latin, Russian, Romanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Polish, Finnish and Georgian.
MADE WITH CARE
Prayer texts and the lives of the saints are drawn from public domain and freely licensed Orthodox sources, credited inside the app under Sources and Acknowledgements.
A note: fasting is guidance in the spirit of the Church, not a rule imposed on you. For anything personal, ask your priest.
