Orthodox Calendar

Orthodox Calendar is rated 3 out of 5 in the category civic & social organization. Read and write reviews about Orthodox Calendar. OC (Orthodox Calendar) is the title of wall calendars and videos first published in 2012, featuring photographs of male members of the Orthodox Church. The calendar is the brainchild of a group composed mostly of Orthodox eastern Europeans of the former communist region. The primary goal was to create the very first organized global effort against discrimination in the Orthodox Region. At the same time, the calendar takes an ironic approach to the Orthodox Church itself, which in recent years has been embroiled in artist repression, questionable behavior, orientation & gender identity/sexual discrimination. Through their unconventional and bold images, OC’s creative team seeks to counteract the negative and outdated influences of most of the Orthodox Church leadership. While recognizing that change might not come quickly to the official Orthodox Church position, OC nonetheless believes that at least it can encourage people (believers or not) to reflect and realize that there is an urgent need for an update in values as part of modern society. “With bold colors, homoerotic undertones and gentle ironic humor, our artwork is inspired in part by the classics of David LaChapelle and Pierre & Gilles.“ DailyMail.co.uk Photo sessions and casting have taken place in the predominantly Orthodox area of eastern Europe.
