## What is Why Orthodoxy??

Why Orthodox? is a free app with 102 short, clear answers to the questions Protestants ask most often about the Orthodox faith.

Every answer has a short form you can read in minutes, a full version, Bible verses and words of the Holy Fathers, with their sources. The answers are grouped into 25 categories.

If you grew up in another tradition and wonder why Orthodox Christians venerate icons, ask the Mother of God for her prayers or speak of Holy Tradition, the app takes them one by one, starting from what Scripture says and what the Fathers of the Church believed. If you are Orthodox, you have the verses and arguments at hand so you can speak calmly and with confidence.

WHAT YOU GET
• 102 answers in Romanian, English and Russian
• Audio narration for every answer, in all 3 languages (streams online, so a connection is needed)
• Bible verses that open right inside the app
• Quotes from the Church Fathers
• Search
• Bookmarks and share cards you can send to friends
• Texts and verses read offline
• Light and dark mode

TWO MODES, SAME CONTENT
Choose "Curious Protestant" or "Orthodox seeking answers". The content is the same; the accent colour and the tone of the text change. You can switch at any time.

FREE, NO TRACKING
No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account. We collect no personal data.

Bible quotes can also be opened in our companion app, Orthodox Bible.
