What is the OCF T-shirt all about

What's the OCF T-shirt all about?


The image of Jesus Christ on the shirt is taken from an 18th century woodcut, which depicts Christ as the King of the Universe. The stylized letters "IC" and "XC" on either side of Christ are a traditional short form for the Lord's name in Greek: "IC" for Jesus, "XC" for Christ.

What do you mean by
"Old School Christianity"?

For those who come from a Roman Catholic or Protestant background, Orthodox Christianity is your roots: the Christian Church as it originally was, and remains in many parts of the world, with the same faith, belief, values, and worship as the Church has had since the earliest centuries.

Orthodox Christianity is not simply "Classic" Christianity: it is the timeless faith shared by saints throughout the centuries, and around the world, from the monks of the Egyptian desert, to the great saints of Russian and the Byzantine Empire, to the tomb of the Lord Himself in the Holy City of Jerusalem, to Orthodox Christian missions throughout the world.
