ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY THEN AND NOW: The Top 25 Most Popular Mystagogy Posts of 2013

Below is a list of The Top 25 Most Popular Mystagogy Posts of 2013. These were posts from 2013 only, and do not reflect posts of previous years. Personally I find it to be an interesting list filled with surprises, and it shows what drove most people to my website and reflects their interests. Like last year, the first three received more than double the page views of all the rest. The list certainly reflects a high interest in controversial and topical issues, as well as stories of miracles, but it is a bit disappointing how little there is here of Orthodox spirituality and the lives of the Saints, which is a primary focus of this site, though I am aware those have always been among my least popular posts. Maybe this year we can resolve to make topics like these more popular than the rest. Thank you all for visiting over the past year and for your support, and I hope to provide even better more compelling material for the coming new year. A blessed and joyous New Year to all!
