Infos

Fr. Alexei Uminsky is the rector of the Church of the Life-giving Trinity in Moscow and the author of many books. This book is his first to appear in English. It was originally given as a series of lectures. In it, Fr. Alexei breaks down the meaning and content of the Liturgy in a way that is both detailed and accessible. Since the Divine Liturgy and the Eucharist are at the center of our life as Christians, it is our hope that this book will help in the development of a deeper appreciation of the Divine Services of the Orthodox Church, a deeper connection to the Church, and most importantly, a deeper love of Christ.
