Raising Saints

Elissa explains how to use images from existing pre-communion prayers to help children prepare themselves for the Holy Mysteries.

Elissa explains how to use the baking of prosphora to talk with children about theosis, which she calls "the meaning of life."

Elissa encourages us to develop a vocabulary to communicate the significance of prayer in terms children can understand and then offer opportunities to put it into practice.

Elissa explains that the purpose of her podcast is to present ideas for educating our youth in the Orthodox faith—to identify new ways to talk about ancient Truths.
