Library and Search
Browse the Library
The Library is arranged into rooms for Scripture, prayer, worship, faith, saints, spiritual life, parables, chant, and listening. Open a room to see its shelves and source-backed material.
Search by source
Search can find:
- Prayers
- Saints and feasts
- Scripture passages
- Services and hymnography
- Orthodox practices and terms
- Parables and spiritual reading
- Audio that exists in Orthros
Why sources are shown
Orthros does not invent a spiritual answer. It retrieves relevant material and shows the source before you open it.
Preview before opening
When several sources match, choose the source that answers your question. VoiceOver reads the source choices before the open action.
Save something
Use Saved to keep a doorway back to a text. Saving does not alter the original source.
Sources and licensing
Every shipped prayer, translation, life, and substantial text must carry an approved source. Ancient subject matter does not automatically make a modern English translation public domain.
Quick reference
- The Library holds exactly eight rooms: Holy Scripture, The Saints, The Parables, The Prayer Book, How We Worship, What We Believe, The Spiritual Life, and Listen.
- Search lives in a different place on each device: a magnifying glass inside each room, a sixth tab on iPad and Mac, or the floating search field near the tab bar on iPhone. ⌘K opens it from anywhere on Mac.
- Search deliberately doesn't appear on Pray or The Way. Those two stay unhurried.
