On the basis of worship of the Orthodox Church, The Year of Grace of the Lord takes the reader through the Sundays and feast days from the beginning of the year in September to the time of its completion after Pentecost. It is a guide to the scriptural readings and prayers of the calendar year and reveals the spiritual growth in Christ that is opened to us in them. In the author's words, the liturgical year is ""an abridgement of the history of salvation."
A helpful list of reference notes, including historical and theological material, is given at the end of each chapter. This book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to know more about the development and pattern of the Orthodox liturgical year.

A Monk of the Eastern Church" is the well-known pseudonym for Father Lev Gillet (1893-1980), who authored numerous volumes of biblical and spiritual reflections. United to the Orthodox Church in 1928, Father Lev Gillet was deeply imbued with Eastern monastic spirituality. In 1948, he was appointed chaplain to the Fellowship of Sts Alban and Sts Sergius, dedicated to the work of Christian unity.

Paper Back. Condition: New. The liturgical year of the Orthodox Church is more than a calendar. It is more than pious teaching or beautiful poetry. Woven through its cycles of fasts and feasts is Christ Himself, manifested in the lives of His saints and the events of His life. Participation in this life ''forms Christ in us, from his birth to the full stature of the perfect man.'' Clearly organized by section according to the major seasons of the Church )Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, Lent, the Passion, Easter and Pentecost) and including historical and theological reference notes at the end of each chapter, The Year of Grace of the Lord both instructs those unfamiliar with the liturgy of the Orthodox Church and gives a devotional light to those entering into its work on a daily basis. 254 pp. Seller Inventory # 47816
