Theotokos. Canons of the mother of God for every day. Deluxe edition

In this book, the reader is offered collected together the canons of the mother of God, read at Compline. These canons, which are a masterpiece of Orthodox hymnography, traditionally constitute a special liturgical book-the Theotokos. In the modern Russian tradition, Bogorodichny usually fully included in the composition of the Octoechos, but has virtually no liturgical use. In the Greek Churches it is still widely used in worship and in home prayer. This edition, in addition to the canons of the mother of God for each day, located on the voices and days of the week, includes the ranks of small Compline and General prayer, during which these canons should be kept. The appendices also contain the Akathist and selected canons Of the mother of God for various occasions (some of them were first translated into Church Slavonic), as well as articles on the use of the canons Of the mother of God in Orthodox worship and on the history of the virgin Mary as an independent book.
