Services of Great Lent

In the collection of Lenten services, which includes the Great Vespers, Hours, and Vespers with the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, the unchangeable prayers are fully presented.
The footnotes explaining complex Church Slavonic words and phrases help to master the language of the service without breaking away from prayer. The meaningful comments by Priest Alexander Gumerov provide keys to understanding Orthodox worship, showing the dynamics of the communal church prayer movement towards the Divine Liturgy.
