Welcome
“Looking back, it all makes sense. I can’t separate my spiritual life from any of it. The work, the struggles, the healing—all of it is tied together."
Christina Veselak, Woman of the Week
Axia Women’s mission can’t happen without community. Community is where we find the tools and relationships to support each other in working out our salvation in the service of Christ. The beautiful truth captured in the graphic above speaks as two sides of the same coin. Each of us is made in the image of God. The more each of us recognizes this, the more we recognize the icon of Christ in each other–and can help one another grow towards fullness in Him.
Axia exists to highlight the value and gifts of each Orthodox woman, to enrich the body of our whole Church everywhere. This is why we want to build circles of belonging - spaces where women can learn, connect, gain new skills and inspiration, and find healing together. We want to be a resource for you, wherever you are on your journey.
Our end-of-year fundraiser will make it possible to continue this work in the coming years! You’ll be hearing more from us in the coming days and weeks about the exciting things we did this year, what’s coming next year, and why you might want to support our work and join us in creating a beautiful and compassionate world together. Imagine a space where women from our many different backgrounds can join together in our love of Christ and His Church. Let’s create a world where we can become the most life-giving versions of ourselves and grow together towards wholeness, healing and joy.

Our next prayer written by an Orthodox woman comes from Angelike Giallourakis:
“In 2009 our youngest son Steven was being prepped for his Bone Marrow Transplant in order to save him from Secondary Acute Myologenis Leukemia. Simultaneously our son Nick was having some outpatient surgery on his arm in the same hospital. My stress level was over the top. To ease my emotions I sat and wrote the attached prayer.

As we continue our series of prayers written by Orthodox women past and present, we are delighted to share this Nativity Hymn of St. Kassiani's. Christ is born!
When Augustus reigned alone on the earth, many kingdoms of humankind came to an end; and when You assumed human nature from the Pure One, the many gods of idolatry were destroyed. The cities came under one mundane kingdom and the nations came to believe in one divine dominion. The peoples were registered by the decree of Caesar; we the faithful have been inscribed in the name of your divinity, when You, our God, assumed human nature.
