Divine Liturgy. Explanation of Meaning, Significance, and Content

Can we understand and spiritually experience everything that happens at the Liturgy? In this book, the renowned priest, Archpriest Alexei Uminsky, discusses the meaning and significance of the Sacrament of the Eucharist and explains step by step all the actions performed during the Divine Liturgy service. The Liturgy is the foundation and the center of everything that occurs in the Church. The entire Orthodox liturgical tradition prepares us for only one thing – the Eucharist. The same happens in personal spiritual life – participation in the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ makes us Christians. The entire New Testament is encapsulated in the Sacrifice of a loving God, who became human and shed His Blood on the Cross for the salvation of people. This book is written by a priest, preacher, and television journalist. This book is written by a sincere and open person. Each of his works is a reflection on the sacred, and in each of his public appearances, there is honesty, independence, and a readiness to listen to others.
