Daily Bible Readings

Description

This plugin shows the current day’s scripture readings and fasting rule from the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. To show the daily readings and fasting rule, you simply paste the following shortcode on whatever page you want to display the content.

[daily-bible-readings content="all"]

The plugin automatically retrieves new content from the Antiochian Archdiocese once a day so it is always up to date.

If you want more fine-grained control, you can choose to display only specific things by changing the argument to the « content »
attribute in the shortcode. The allowable arguments are:
* « all »: show all the content
* « date »: show only the date
* « fasting »: show only the fasting rule text
* « readings »: show only the scripture readings with titles

For instance, if you want to only show the date and the fasting rule, you can put the following two shortcodes on your page:

[daily-bible-readings content="date"]
[daily-bible-readings content="fasting"]

Initially, the readings only show short snippets of the reading text. Clicking « Read More » dynamically reveals the rest of the text without loading a new page.
