The Meditations series by Vassilios Papavassiliou offers reflections for Pascha or Eastertide (the season between Easter and the Ascension) and the Twelve Great Feasts celebrated in Orthodox traditions. At the heart of the annual cycle of Orthodox celebrations is Pascha, the “Feast of Feasts.” After this, great importance is attached to the Twelve Great Feasts, which commemorate significant events in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and of His Mother. These volumes offer thoughtful readings by Vassilios Papavassiliou on each of these celebrations to deepen your faith.
