About Lampada — Orthodox Calendar
Lampada is a quiet companion for daily Orthodox life. Open it once in the morning and you know the day: what the fast asks, who the Church remembers, and what the readings are. Lampada was reviewed by His Eminence Archbishop Michael of New York and New Jersey (Orthodox Church in America) and carries his blessing. THE FAST, ALWAYS CLEAR Every day shows its fasting discipline at a glance — strict fast, wine and oil, fish, dairy, or fast-free — following the Orthodox calendar. A lock or home screen widget keeps today's fast in front of you without opening the app, and it changes with the day, automatically. PRAYERS FOR THE DAY A growing prayer book, beautifully set for reading — morning and evening prayers, prayers at the table, the Hours, and more, with the week's tone and the day's troparia where they belong. New prayers are added over time, all reproduced by permission of St. Tikhon's Monastery Press. THE DAILY READINGS The appointed epistle and Gospel for each day, with the prokeimenon, in a clean reading view made for actually reading — adjustable text size, page turns between readings, and commentary from the Church Fathers on the passage you're looking at. THE SAINTS OF THE DAY Lives of the saints and commemorations for every day of the year, with troparia and kontakia. PREPARE FOR CONFESSION A private space to note what you want to confess or discuss — kept only on your device, never uploaded anywhere. THE FASTING KITCHEN What can we actually eat today? Lampada answers it. A free set of hand-picked recipes matches every fasting tier. Lampada Premium adds the full kitchen: AI recipes tuned to the day's fast and your tastes, dinners built from what's already in your pantry, a whole week planned in one tap with the shopping list written for you — and every recipe adapts to YOUR kitchen: slow cooker, Instant Pot, or one pot, in a tap. Premium is $29.99/year or $3.99/month, each with a 7-day free trial. Everything else in Lampada stays free, always. QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Your prayers, notes, and readings live on your device. Calendar data, readings, and lives of the saints follow the Orthodox Church in America's liturgical calendar. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated October 22, 2026
Mostly fixes in this update: • Saints' days: St. Innocent (Oct 6) and St. Tikhon (Oct 9) now show as their Glorifications, and commemorations that move each year, such as the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, now appear on the right dates. • "Read more" now opens the right story on many more days, including Pascha, Holy Week and Bright Week, the Sundays of Lent, and days when a Great Feast falls on a Sunday. • Readings: the Sundays of the Holy Fathers of the Councils now show both prokeimena. • Saints' lives: footnote numbers now appear raised, with each note on its own line, and paragraphs no longer lose their last line on some iPhones. • Widget: it now lists the same commemorations as the app, without repeating the saint in its headline. When a day honors two saints, both are shown. • You can now rate Lampada from Settings → About. • The calendar now goes by its proper name: the Revised Julian calendar.
