Digitizing the Syriac Orthodox Church Calendar

How to make life easier!

I have played around with a public Google Calendar to allow people to participate in my transcribing the Syriac Orthodox Church calendar in a more portable and digital form. While I love the printed calendar, I don’t always have it with me.

If you would like to use this, here are the links. Please note that it is set to Mountain Standard time (Phoenix). Since most entries are all-day for feast days and Bible reading, this shouldn’t make much difference if you are in the US. If you are in another location, you can simply change the URL from “America%2FPhoenix” to “Europe%2FFrankfurt” or the appropriate time zone.

Also, so far, I have only added March 2023. I will add the other months soon. I’d also like to add the Saints’ feast days.

To access the calendar from a web browser:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=d1b96c6e65c36db9deddaa9f103dd6f0a0aec39b991be60ae9bcd64beeecb310%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FPhoenix

If you have a Gmail account, you can also subscribe to the calendar under this link:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=ZDFiOTZjNmU2NWMzNmRiOWRlZGRhYTlmMTAzZGQ2ZjBhMGFlYzM5Yjk5MWJlNjBhZTliY2Q2NGJlZWVjYjMxMEBncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t

Finally, here is the iCal format to access this calendar from other applications:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/d1b96c6e65c36db9deddaa9f103dd6f0a0aec39b991be60ae9bcd64beeecb310%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

I’d love feedback on whether this is useful.

The calendar entries in Google Calendar app. I can also integrate it into my iPhone calendar. I don’t have an Android device, so I cannot test there.

For each day, you will find the Bible reading by clicking on the Bible Reading entry in the calendar.
