If you have any considerable number of people, you're not likely to get 100% of anything. I'm not interested enough to go look at census data myself, but I found this source that summarizes the desired info (Table 4): https://bgazrt.hu/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/5.Majo_jav.pdf

About 2% of Hungarian Slovaks would appear to by Byzantine, and the percentage would appear to be increasing. The largest in the table is 2.1%, back in 1930 (the earliest census included), so it is possible that there was a more significant number >100 years ago.

There are some limits on photo uploads. Posters are limited to 5 photos per thread with a max of just under 4 M per photo. Our hope is that you will reduce the file size to under 4 M each to save on sever space. Thanks!

I had a report of a typo in the 2025 Liturgical Calendar, fixed it and took the opportunity to put up the 2026 liturgical calendar.

If anyone has a chance, can you please review them for accuracy and report to me any typos (either her or via email at the address at the bottom of this page).

You can find them from byzcath.org by boing to "Resources" and choosing them from the pull-down menu.

Thanks!

It should still be active on the Google Play store. I use the app daily. I also still get daily emails with the vespers and little hours texts from EC Pubs. They did recently send out an email saying it may be closed down soon though:

BDO Might Stop

We thank those who have contributed to our publication of the Byzantine Daily Office, both one-time and ongoing stipend payments. But we have received less than half of the cost of ongoing publication and are losing nearly $500/month. After nearly 10 years, this is no longer sustainable and will impact both the daily email service and smartphone app. If we don't have an influx of financial support by April 15, we will need to reduce the service or cancel it completely. You can contribute through our GoFundMe campaign (ECPubs) or directly on our website:

Thanks!
