A SIMPLE COMMENTARY ON THE DIVINE LITURGY
INTRODUCTION
Since 2000 the Parish publishes an excellent bimonthly Newsletter, ΦΩΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ, which usually contains one or two articles in English. Since October 2005 one of these has been the beginning of a series of short articles which will form a simple introduction to the divine Liturgy. They are now to be published on the Parish web pages so that they may be available to a wider readership, and, we hope, encourage more people to help the Parish by supporting the Newsletter financially.
The older books of the Liturgies of St Basil and St John Chrysostom add in the title, 'as celebrated in the Great Church and on the Holy Mountain', that is to say the Church of the Holy Wisdom, Ὰγία Σοφία,
and Mount Athos, το Ἅγιον Ὄρος,
These two places are the benchmarks for Orthodox Liturgy.
