**NEW YORK —** A newly established nonprofit organization [has launched](https://orthodoxobserver.org/orthodoxy-for-kids-launches-new-animated-series-for-young-children/) an animated educational series aimed at introducing young children to Orthodox Christianity through digital media. Orthodoxy for Kids recently announced the debut of *Sophia*, an animated series designed for children ages 3–6 that teaches prayers, hymns, feast days, the Sacraments, and daily church life through short, engaging videos.

The project was developed in response to a shortage of online Orthodox educational resources for young children, a need that became especially apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The nonprofit operates under the motto “Learning Orthodoxy Can Be Fun” and seeks to support families in home-based faith formation.

Archimandrite Chrysostomos Gilbert of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese’s Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York described *Sophia* as a gentle and relatable guide for children beginning their spiritual journey. The series also includes downloadable coloring sheets to reinforce lessons. The *Sophia* [website](https://orthodoxyforkids.com/) states that it is sponsored by Leadership 100, which exists to support national ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
