Have you ever stood during the Divine Liturgy and wondered what is happening, why the priest is doing certain things, or what you are supposed to be doing?
The Sacred Liturgy and the Holy Apostles was written to make the Divine Liturgy easier to understand for children, teens, families, catechumens, and anyone who is new to the Orthodox Church.
The book walks readers step by step through the Divine Liturgy, from the Proskomedia [Preparation of the Gifts] to the final prayers. It explains what happens during the service, why it matters, and how each part leads us toward the Holy Eucharist, where Orthodox Christians receive the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
Inside This Book:
- Follow the Divine Liturgy Step by Step: Learn about the Proskomedia, the Liturgy of the Catechumens, the Liturgy of the Faithful, Holy Communion, and the final prayers. The book explains the prayers, symbols, entrances, Scripture readings, and sacred actions in clear and simple language.
- See What Happens During a Real Liturgy: The printed book includes photographs taken during Divine Liturgies at St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church in British Columbia, Canada. These images help readers connect the explanations in the book with what they actually see in church.
- Learn How to Participate: Discover why Orthodox Christians sing, pray together, listen to Holy Scripture, respond during the service, prepare for Holy Communion, and try to remain attentive and prayerful.
- Meet the Holy Apostles: Learn about the lives, struggles, missionary work, and faith of the Apostles who followed Christ and helped spread the Gospel throughout the world. The book includes individual chapters about the Apostles and Evangelists and explains what we can learn from their lives today.
- Explore Viktor Vasnetsov's The Eucharist: Discover the beautiful image of Christ giving Holy Communion to His Apostles and learn why certain Apostles and Evangelists appear in the composition.
- Discover the Story Behind the Icon: Follow the fascinating history of St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Warsaw and the author's personal search to identify the Apostles shown in Vasnetsov's artwork.
This book is a helpful resource for Orthodox children and teens, families, Sunday School classes, catechumens, and anyone who wants to understand the Divine Liturgy more deeply.
We hope that our book will help you better understand the Divine Liturgy, pray more attentively, and take part in the service with greater understanding and reverence.
