Matthew Barnes+FollowFirst Millennial Saint? Meet Carlo AcutisDid you know the Catholic Church is about to canonize its first millennial saint? Carlo Acutis, a teen who loved computers, video games, and helping others, died of leukemia in 2006. He built a website about miracles and volunteered with the homeless—all while being a regular kid. Now, he’s being called a 21st-century role model and will be canonized this September. Wild to think a saint could be someone who wore hoodies and jeans! #CarloAcutis #MillennialSaint #CatholicChurch #Religion12Share

kimberly31+FollowAncient Monasteries Shaken in GreeceDid you hear about the earthquakes rocking Mount Athos? This secluded Greek peninsula, home to centuries-old Orthodox monasteries, just took a major hit. The Monastery of Xenophon, built in the 10th century, now has severe cracks in its dome and damaged frescoes. Restoration crews are rushing in, but it’s wild to think these sacred sites have survived so much—until now. Fingers crossed the repairs can save these pieces of history! #MountAthos #Earthquake #History #Religion90Share

Teresa Graham+FollowOnly One Friday the 13th This Year?!Ever notice how Friday the 13th gets everyone talking about bad luck? Wild fact: 2025 only has ONE Friday the 13th, so maybe we’re safe for now. The whole unlucky vibe comes from Bible stories (Judas was the 13th guest at the Last Supper) and even Norse myths (Loki crashed a dinner party as the 13th guest—yikes). If you’re superstitious, maybe keep an eye out for black cats or ladders today. But hey, you’ve got a whole year before the next one! #FridayThe13th #Superstition #FunFacts #Religion20Share

Matthew Barnes+FollowPope Leo Outsells the Sox?!Baseball games at Rate Field rarely sell out, but Pope Leo just changed the game!

Lindsay Wood+FollowAmerica’s Surprising Spiritual BoomTurns out, the fastest-growing Christian group in the US isn’t about rules—it’s about wild, supernatural experiences. Charismatic Christians are all about speaking in tongues, healing, and feeling the Holy Spirit, and their numbers are exploding. But here’s the twist: even as church attendance drops, more Americans are chasing spiritual highs, from New Age drum circles to mystical church services. In a so-called secular age, the hunger for the divine is actually getting weirder—and way more popular. #Spirituality #Faith #Religion #Culture33Share
