How we work
- 01
Gather
We start from Wikidata and Wikipedia in eight languages, then from the calendars of the local Churches.
- 02
Verify
We compare names, ranks and feast days across sources and keep only what is confirmed.
- 03
Write
We write the lives in our own words, from every source, then translate them into Romanian and English.
- 04
Publish
Every page shows its sources and licences. The archive keeps growing and being corrected.
Two calendars, one day
Dates follow the Menaion. New calendar Churches keep them on the same day, old calendar Churches 13 days later. Every page shows both.

Write to us with the saint's name and the correct source. Every report makes the archive better.
