The depth your tradition expects

Eastern Orthodox and Anglican traditions are profoundly liturgical. Generic giving platforms treat every Sunday like every other Sunday. AloraChurch knows the difference between an ordinary Sunday and Pascha — and times its appeals accordingly.

📅

Tradition-specific liturgical year

Eastern Orthodox: Pascha date computed via Julian-Gregorian conversion; Apostles' Fast; Dormition Fast; Christmas (Nativity) on Dec 25 or Jan 7 by jurisdiction. Anglican: Book of Common Prayer calendar with patronal festivals.

Iconography funds

Eastern Orthodox parishes commission iconography over years. Track multi-year donor commitments, list patrons of specific icons, recognize benefactors.

Patronal festival

The parish's patron saint feast — the year's most important day. Pre-drafted festival appeal, donor recognition, multi-year named gifts.

📖
