5 out of 5 starsNice quality paper - not thin! I love seeing all of Lent on one spread, as well as all of the Nativity season. Lovely photos of interesting and holy places.

5 out of 5 starsThe Beauty First Films liturgical calendar is as advertised and an excellent to transforming time through the lens of beauty. I appreciate the opportunity to be liberated from the “tyranny of months” by the unique layout that encapsulates the main stretches of the Church’s rhythm of fasting and feasting including numbered weeks and important saints days. I was also warmed to see a handwritten note from photographer Thomaida with my order. This calendar will be an annual purchase for me.

4 out of 5 starsThis item is beautiful and has the liturgical seasons laid out as promised according to the Old Calendar, and features enough space to write on and a writeable surface. I am looking forward to using it for the rest of the year! What it lacks, for my needs/compared to the church calendar I'm used to using (a parish-specific one from ROCOR), is a greater amount of information regarding saints' days/holidays and the "types" of fast day each fast day is. Like, the calendar I'm used to had little fish images and grape images to show variation in fasting, and this took up a small amount of space.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. We also appreciate those visual symbols for various fast days that other calendars provide so well. We've opted not to include that info because there is some variety in practice across traditions and households. That said, we want to eliminate surprises or disappointments, so we've added a note to the product description about what information is not included. Thank you for your honest and thorough review!

4 out of 5 starsThe calendar is very attractive and a cool concept. This is my first one and I'm still in month one, so I haven't flipped through all the photos yet. While I appreciate the subtlety of light shading for fast days, I wish it indicated the fast *type* (strict, wine/oil, etc) either by color or an icon, like the GOArch calendar does.
Timothy and Thomaida responded on Jan 27, 2023
Hunter, thanks for taking time to write a review and the feedback too. You're right--it would be so handy to see that info at a glance. We opted not to include it because there are some variations about this depending on tradition, not to mention from household to household. Our favorite tools for checking fast *type* are the GOArch phone app and the spiral bound Daily Lives calendar from The Orthodox Calendar Company.
