by Patriarch Gregorios III (Laham)

This book, hitherto only available in Arabic, is a wonderful educational summary of many traditions of the Eastern Christian Churches by Patriarch Gregorios III, head of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church. He covers liturgy, sacraments, feast day celebrations, church architecture, iconography, religious vessels, vestments, foods and other topics, in an informative way to educate and inspire. This edition contains a completely new section on the development of liturgy from its Antiochian roots, a revised section on liturgical music and many new illustrations.

Paperback. 204 pages. US $20.00
