The Orthodox Old Believer's Prayer Book - Extended Hardcover Edition:

This faithful and now greatly expanded guide to daily prayer is for those who follow the ancient traditions of the Old Believer Orthodox Church. Rooted in reverence and simplicity, this English-language hardcover edition was created to help the faithful begin and end each day in prayer - and now also to sanctify the full cycle of the day with the ancient services of Vespers and Matins.

This expanded collection includes the essential Morning, Daytime, and Evening Prayers, plus texts of Vespers and Matins, a rich selection of Troparia, and several beloved Canon prayers, while maintaining the beloved _easy to read_format. It also retains the popular daily commemoration calendar according to the Julian Calendar, with Gregorian date references for modern use.

Designed for both lifelong Old Believers and those seeking to deepen their Orthodox faith, this book brings the timeless beauty of the Old Rite to the English-speaking world. The prayers have been carefully translated from Church Slavonic texts - those used by the Orthodox Church before the reforms of Patriarch Nikon in the seventeenth century - drawing on trusted sources and faithful translations that adhere to the strict standards of the Old Believer tradition.

• Vespers and Matins services
• Troparia for days of the week
