Saint Nathan the Prophet

A life of faith

Nathan served as an adviser to David and Solomon. The OCA entry recalls David confessing his wrongdoing to Nathan and connects that encounter with the Church’s prayer of absolution.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.

A reflection

Nathan’s remembrance invites careful reading of the biblical encounter between a prophet and a king.
