On September 13, Saint John Chrysostom is honored, Bible Day is celebrated, the most important book of Christianity.

Bible Day was established in 2006 by a decision of the Holy Synod and aims to remind the moral and conscientious duty to read the Holy Scriptures, considering its role in the life of the Church and the faithful.

The date was chosen for the feast of Saint John Chrysostom, because the saint is considered one of the most important exegetes of the Holy Scriptures.

St. John the Baptist has comments on Old Testament books such as Genesis, Isaiah, Daniel, but also words on the Maccabees, About David and Saul, About Anna, Daniel and the three young men, but also on the New Testament.

We mention some of these: the Exegesis on the Gospels according to Matthew and John, the homilies on the specific parables, the commentaries on the second book of Saint Luke, the Acts of the Apostles, as well as on all the Pauline epistles.

Bible Day is marked by various events held by the theological schools in the country, and the Library of Church Books offers 50% discounts on certain editions of the Bible purchased exclusively through the store...
