The Lenten Triodion

This service book provides the texts for services in the pre-Lenten weeks of preparation, Great Lent, and Holy Week—offering many of the texts necessary to observe the great fast. It contains all the offices to be found in the Greek Triodion, excluding the daily Triodion hymns outside the first week of Lent and Holy Week. This classic English edition, translated by Mother Mary and Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, was first published by Faber & Faber in 1978. It offers an extensive introduction, containing “The Meaning of the Great Fast” by Met. Kallistos, and a section on the structure of the Lenten offices.
