The sacred and divine liturgy

Here is a new English edition of the primary divine service of the Orthodox Church, published by St Sebastian Press of the Western American Diocese. This translation is an adapted version of the texts of accurate English translations already existed in previously published service books, especially the translation of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Greek Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, and various Greek, English, and Slavonic liturgical manuals. All previously existing translations were checked for accuracy and consistency and edited, when necessary. Modern English has been chosen for this edition, following the most common order to be found in the Greek and Slavonic language service books which reflect the Byzantine tradition. The dialogues between the celebrant and the deacon are also included with brief Rubrics. In the supplementary material a detailed explanation for the Hierarchical Liturgy is included. The book is in full color, entirely illustrat is Skliris’ icons and frescos.
