What is the purpose of the blessing of waters? How does the Orthodox liturgical year compare with Western Christianity? This book explores the meaning of the Orthodox liturgical year by analyzing the rituals, Bible readings, and hymns of the feasts. In addition to the main seasons and feasts--Lent, Holy Week, Pascha, Christmas, and feasts of Mary--the book discusses other feasts particular to Orthodox Christianity. Readers will learn about special themes on occasions like the Exaltation of the Cross and the Baptism of Rus', and will discover the importance of domestic traditions like the Vasilopita and the Sviata Vechera (Holy Supper). This new book is an ideal guide for college-level readers and above seeking to understand the meaning of Orthodox liturgy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Denysenko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666717762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666717761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Nicholas Denysenko","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46384019538175,"sku":"9781666717761","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f38aadf-0a9e-40af-a2dc-1eccb832ec3f.jpg?v=1733282431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-the-day-that-nicholas-denysenko-9781666717761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
