An Orthodox worship and study app. The Church’s day, the Fathers’ commentary, and a place to write down what you find.
Thursday of the 7th week after Pentecost
“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.”
Psalm 55:17Every day the Church appoints readings, keeps a fast, and remembers her saints. HolyStudy gathers all of it onto one page.
The appointed Epistle and Gospel, the day's commemorations, and the Fathers on what you have just read — in one unbroken order.
Morning and evening prayers for the beginner, the practicing, and the ascetic. Choose the rule that matches the stage of your journey, and deepen it as you go.
Feasts, commemorations, and tones, month by month — on the New (Revised Julian) calendar.
Every day's discipline at a glance: the four great fasts, and when fish, wine and oil are permitted.
The Scriptures come with the Church that has been reading them for two thousand years — and with the tools to read them closely.
The Old and New Testaments together with the Anagignoskomena received by the Orthodox Church — in a clean, warm reader built for long attention.
Chrysostom, Augustine, Basil, Jerome and the rest, keyed to the verse in front of you — across the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, Revelation, the Psalms and Job.
An interlinear with Strong’s Hebrew and Greek on 27,584 entries, and cross-references binding Scripture to Scripture.
Topical pages for the questions people actually bring, guided reading plans that pair Scripture with the Fathers, and a search that knows the whole canon.
Not a library of opinions. The teachers, the councils, and the confessions the Church actually received.
Lives, centuries, and complete works — from On the Incarnation to the Confessions and the homilies of Chrysostom.
Lives and feast days from the historic Eastern calendar, with the icons the Church venerates, linked to each day's readings.
The seven Ecumenical Councils of the undivided Church — what each decided, whom it answered, and what it gave the faith.
Gnosticism, Arianism, Nestorianism and the rest — with the councils and the fathers who answered them.
Reading changes you slowly, and only if you keep it. Write down what strikes you, read what has struck others, and answer one another.
Keep reflections on any verse or chapter — private, or shared. Bookmark what you want to return to, and watch your own reading take shape over years.
17 reflections and comments from Orthodox Christians reading the same verses — beneath the Fathers, never instead of them.
Reply to a reflection, ask what a passage meant, take up a hard verse together. Follow the readers you learn from and see where the conversation has gone.
Every verse a star, wired to every other by 224,980 cross-references. The Connection Map draws the Scriptures as one body — and lets you fall into any part of it.
Open the Connection MapThe Church has never charged admission to her prayers. HolyStudy was built as an offering, not a business — no paywalls, no subscriptions, no ads — so that anyone who wants to pray and read with the Church may do so.
Read our full missionKeep the day the Church is keeping — its readings, its fast, its saints — and write down what you are given. Join those already keeping 17 reflections.
