Great Lent
$20.00
For decades, Fr. Alexander Schmemann’s Great Lent has been the definitive guide for Orthodox Christians seeking to understand the season of repentance. In this revised edition, Schmemann takes the reader on a journey of 'bright sadness'—awakening the heart to the remembrance of Christ and rekindling a relationship with God.
Far from a dry explanation of rules, this book unveils the deep theological and spiritual purpose behind the Church's Lenten worship. It offers a master class on the season's unique treasures, including:
The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts: Understanding the unique Lenten communion.
The Prayer of St. Ephraim: The Lenten prayer par excellence.
The Canon of St. Andrew: The great hymn of repentance.
Through fasting, prayer, and liturgical reflection, Schmemann guides us through the solemnity of the Forty Days toward the radiant joy of Pascha. This is an essential companion for anyone—new convert or lifelong believer—wishing to truly experience the transformative power of Great Lent.
