On the Divine Liturgy by St. Germanus of Constantinople is one of the most important early commentaries on the Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox Christian tradition. Written in the eighth century, this classic text offers a theological and symbolic interpretation of the Church’s worship, illuminating the deeper spiritual meaning behind the prayers, gestures, and sacred actions of the Eucharistic celebration.
St. Germanus explains the Divine Liturgy as a revelation of heavenly realities made present on earth. His commentary connects liturgical practice with Scripture, the life of Christ, and the mystery of salvation, providing readers with a richer understanding of Orthodox worship and its theological foundations.
This volume, part of the Popular Patristics Series (PPS 8), presents a clear and accessible English translation, making this foundational work available to students of theology, clergy, seminarians, and lay readers alike. It remains an essential resource for anyone seeking to deepen their appreciation of the Divine Liturgy and the living tradition of the Church.
