CONTENT DESCRIPTION
In this book, Bishop Mettaos provides the reader with thoughts, contemplations and explanations of the three canonical liturgies in the Coptic Church - according to St. Basil the Great, St. Gregorius and St. Cyril. The author also gives short biographies of the three saints.
GENERAL COMMENTS
In his introduction, Bishop Mettaos emphasizes that understanding the liturgy is very important and his explanations will hopefully aid the believer in that. He adds that knowing and understanding the elements of the Divine Liturgy, such as prayers, melodies, and various customs, will help the believer pray with both his/her spirit and mind.
