The Eucharist
A rich, passionate, and candid summary of the worship experience lived through the lifetime in baptismal intimacy with the Holy Table in the midst of the Church before the throne of God. In Alexander Schmemann, Orthodoxy gave to the Christian world a mystagogue who ranks with Germanos of Constantinople, Nicholas Cabasilas, Cyril of Jerusalem, John Chrysostom, and Ambrose of Milan.
