Anatole Occidens (ah-nuh-TOH-lay AW-chee-dens) is an Apostolic creative studio crafting media, apparel, and sacramentals — telling sacred stories through modern forms.

We are members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

The Christianity of antiquity was not divided. It was East and West. Mystical and incarnational. Anatole (ἀνατολή), Greek for “sunrise” or “the East,” Occidens, Latin for “sunset” or “the West.” Together, Anatole Occidens is not simply East meets West or the rising of the sun and the setting of it. It is sacred tension and harmony — two lungs breathing the same Spirit.

AO stands at the threshold of the ancient and the now, drawing deeply from both eastern and western traditions to honor both in unity, where the wisdom of the past meets the unfolding horizon of the future — not nostalgia, not novelty, but a living bridge carrying the treasures of tradition forward into the story of God’s work across every age.

Rooted in the ancient Church and expressed through contemporary design, AO looks forward while holding on to antiquity. We exist to reignite wonder, reclaim beauty, and restore sacred meaning in a disenchanted age. Above all, AO exists to give glory to God.
