This classic little prayer book has served generations of Orthodox believers. First appearing in 1945 in Great Britain, it has been used widely by English-speaking Orthodox in America and abroad and has been reprinted countless times. St Vladimir's Seminary Press is proud to make the Manual available in a handsome, conveniently-sized hardcover edition.

This edition features:

  • a foreword by Fr Alexander Schmemann;
  • explanatory notes by Nicolas Zernov; 
  • morning and evening prayers;
  • prayers for different occasions; 
  • anthems and hymns for greater feasts and saints' days; 
  • the Order of Confession (both Greek and Slavonic uses);
  • prayers before and after receiving Holy Communion;
  • and a concise calendar of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

 

[The publishing of A Manual of Eastern Orthodox Prayers] constitutes one of the major events in the history of Orthodox translation into English. The Archbishop of Thyatira, Germanos, wrote in his foreword to the first edition that '...the reader finds in this book a true mirror of the Orthodox Christian spirit, rendering all the characteristics of the Orthodox worship. —Fr Alexander Schmemann, from the foreword

    Have had multiple prayer books and this one is definitely one of my favorites! Love the prayer for enemies that I have not found in any other prayer book before. A must have for any orthodox christian home

    Would recommend

    The book arrived about when I thought it would. Quality binding & hardback cover. I wish the paper was white or cream colored for easier reading. I’m still exploring the content so I can’t really comment on it, but it has a lot packed into such a small volume.

    A Manual of Eastern Orthodox Payers

    Posted by Jim Young on 13th Sep 2022

    I have found this book most informative. I enjoy reading through the different sections and even though I am not within the different forms of Eastern Orthodoxy, (I serve as an Anglican, not Episcopal, Priest.) I find the prayers most uplifting and helpful for my own devotional times with God. Well written and an excellent source for worship and an excellent book for anyone's library and use. (Emphasis on use.)
