Kathisma Psalter with Canticles From the Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery comes the new Kathisma Psalter with the Nine Canticles, Revised According to the Septuagint is 192 pages with a brief annotated bibliography and kathismata schedules. The cover is laminated, with wire-o lay-flat binding. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"This book is a copy of the Psalter with the Nine Canticles put together by the sisters for their own use. The texts normally used in the official publications of the Orthodox Church in America were their basis. They have revised the psalms and canticles in two ways: First, they have revised the content to accord with the Greek Septuagint. This has helped them become more aware of the many scriptural references in the liturgical hymns of the Church, including most of the Prokeimena, which are based on the Septuagint readings.The second revision has involved largely replacing vocabulary that is no longer part of our own language, such as the vocative "O," "Thee" and accompanying verb forms. Users of both our popular Manual of the hours and The Royal Hours of the Orthodox Church will find this style familiar. These Psalms will enrich the use of the Manual.

easy to understand yet not a concession to contemporary English as has
been tried in earlier translations. RLE is used in all our publications
of service books and prayer books from at least 2008 onward. For those
linguistically inclined, this means that the language herein is
consistent with our Apostol, our Morning and Evening prayer books, and
the Great Book of Needs.

Verses and Antiphons for the Festal and Paschal Cycle, Dismissals for
the Year, and a Monthly Calendar of Saints. Measures 8.5" x 11" Hard cover.

The Festal Menaion
“There is little necessity to underline the profound significance, both
devotionally and theologically, of the feasts included in this volume.
It contains the texts for Christmas, Epiphany, the Annunciation, and the
Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple (the ‘Meeting’), which express
the true Orthodox faith concerning the Incarnation of the Saviour. It
contains the office of the Transfiguration, which is essential for any
proper understanding of the Orthodox doctrine of ‘Divine Light’ and
mystical prayer. It contains the office for the Exaltation of the Cross,
which deserves to be studied with care by all who imagine that
Orthodoxy concentrates solely upon the risen Christ, to the neglect of
Christ crucified. It contains the services for the Nativity of the Holy
Virgin, for her Entry into the Temple and her Dormition: without a
knowledge of these three offices, it is impossible to appreciate the
true character of Orthodox devotion to the Mother of God.” From the Preface

The Horologion Price drop . . . was $45.00 The Horologion (Book of
the Hours) contains the full cycle of daily prayers in the Orthodox Church.“This Horologion is more a compilation than
anything else, but the additions of the many rubrics and directives is entirely
my idea, along with minor translations and revisions of other translations. The
Psalter with Sequence, i.e., The Great Horologion or Great Book of the
Hours, the last Pre-revolution Synodal edition as published in Kiev, and as
published by Holy Trinity Monastery in 1964, is the text appearing in this
English edition of the Horologion, which I have entitled ‘unabbreviated’
because I have not abbreviated all the many things that are normally
abbreviated in all Greek and Slavonic service books.”

The Royal Hours: Christmas, Theophany, Pascha The "Royal Hours" are beautiful parts of the Orthodox
preparation for the three great Baptismal feasts of the Church: Christmas,
Theophany and Pascha. They are meditative services, allowing us to savor the
great themes and highlights of each feast. Two of the regular psalms of each
hour are replaced with those that prophesy the events in the incarnate life of
Christ, and appropriate stikhera, Old Testament prophesies and Epistle and
Gospel readings are added.
This book provides easy access to these beautiful prayers, hymns and texts in
English without the need for multiple books and sheets of paper. In this
format, they can easily be celebrated even if only the Lord's quorum of
"two or three are gathered together."
Each of the hours has been presented independently, so that if time and
circumstances are lacking to do all four on a given vigil day, perhaps at least
one can be managed. General rubrics are given, along with instructions for
grouping the hours in traditional practice.
The book contains full texts and rubrics for celebration with a priest.
However, for those in mission parishes without a regular priest and for those
living far from their parishes and unable to attend every service, these hours
are uniquely suited to being read, chanted and sung as readers' services.
The texts, including the Scriptural Psalms taken from the Holy Myrrhbearer’s
Monastery’s own Kathisma Psalter, and in the style of their popular
"Manual" series, are revised in accordance with the Greek Septuagint
translation. 178 pgs 6" x 8 1/2" format, wire bound.
