Welcome to the Web Store of Holy Apostles Convent, located in the mountains outside of beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado. We are an Orthodox Christian monastery, living according to the traditions handed down to us by the holy fathers and mothers of the Orthodox Church.

Our monastery is entirely self-supporting. We do not solicit contributions for our continuing existence.

Holy Apostles Convent translates the Holy Scriptures and the Lives of the Saints from the original Greek texts, and publishes them in extraordinarily high quality books. All of our publications are lavishly adorned with icons throughout the text for the reader's edification and enjoyment.

Dormition Skete, located just up the hill from us, offers some of the finest icons available in the world. They offer hand-painted panel icons and frescoes, as well as mounted icons. Further, we also produce some of the highest quality incense available, along with many other products relating to the Orthodox Faith. Please take the time to visit their website, too, at http://www.DormitionSkete.org.

Please take some time to explore our website, and we hope you will order some of the fruits of our labors.

June 11, 2009 - The August Volume of The Great Synaxaristes of the Orthodox Church is at the printers now and is expected to arrive soon. We are accepting orders for it now, and as soon as it arrives, we will immediately ship this to your door.

This is one of TWELVE (12) volumes now available in a new 12-volume series of books from Holy Apostles Convent and Dormition Skete.

The Lives of the Saints in English, together with homilies for major feast days, are arranged around the monthly lectionary calendar of the Orthodox Church.

This classic collection, which has inspired generations of Orthodox, is indispensable for all. No Orthodox library can be without this standard and blessed reference work. This should now be the first place to which one turns for information on the saints' struggles, sufferings, and achievements. The hagiographies are furnished with explanatory notes and references. An alphabetical index of the Saints and feast days has been included at the end of each volume.

Coming in Late 2009 or Early 2010: A Master Index For the Great Synaxaristes, which will also include Patristic Commentary and Sermons for the Triodion and Pentecostarion periods.
