Orthodoxy or Death Flag (3x5 ft)

The Orthodoxy or Death Flag carries one of the best-known mottos of Orthodox monasticism. In Greek it reads "Ορθοδοξία ή Θάνατος" (Orthodoxia i Thanatos).

What does "Orthodoxy or Death" mean?
The phrase is a confession of faith: a readiness to keep the Orthodox faith whole and unchanged, even at the cost of one's life, following the example of the martyrs and confessors of the Church. It is closely associated with the monasteries of Mount Athos — the Monastery of Esphigmenou famously displayed it on a banner. It is a spiritual vow of faithfulness to Christ, not a political or violent message.

Where to display the Orthodoxy or Death Flag?
Hang it in a study or prayer space, fly it outdoors, or bring it to pilgrimages and Orthodox gatherings as a sign of steadfast faith.
