Publisher's Synopsis
The Divine Liturgies of Our Fathers Among the Saints John Chrysostom and Basil the Great with that of the Presanctified is a book written by J.N.W.B. Robertson in 1894. The book contains the texts of three important liturgies in the Eastern Orthodox Church: the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. The book is preceded by two important services in the Orthodox Church: the Hesperinos (Vespers) and the Orthros (Matins). These services are traditionally celebrated the evening before and the morning of the Divine Liturgy, respectively. The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is the most commonly celebrated liturgy in the Eastern Orthodox Church and is attributed to the fourth-century bishop of Constantinople, St. John Chrysostom. The Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great is celebrated on ten specific days throughout the year, including on the Sundays of Great Lent. The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is celebrated on Wednesdays and Fridays during Great Lent and Holy Week. The book provides a complete description of these liturgies, including the prayers, hymns, and readings that are used during each service. It is an important resource for scholars and students of Eastern Orthodox liturgy, as well as for those who wish to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the rich liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
