Lenten Triodion by Mother Maria

The ultimate guide to the services of the Orthodox services for Lent. It is worth reading just for the introduction by Bishop Ware. I am, personally, not familiar enough with the services to get much use out of the summarised details of the services but I am sure in the years to come it will be useful. Bishop Ware’s introduction clearly explains what we should do to prepare for Lent, how the services of the Church help us to both prepare for and journey through Lent until we reach Pascha show more (Easter). show less
