Break the Holy Bread, Master: A Theology of Communion Bread Was $15.00 A new book written by Fr. Sergei Sveshnikov, “This work examines the history, theology, and praxis of
the use of sacramental bread in traditional Christianity. From the Last Supper
to the Great Schism, and from Christology to ecclesiology and Christian
anthropology - the symbolism of bread has dominated Christian history and
belief. What kind of bread did Christ offer to His disciples at the Last
Supper? Why do Roman Catholics and the Orthodox disagree on how to bake bread?
What is the significance of the symbolism of bread for Christian theology and
praxis? This book addresses these and many other questions. Scholars and
bakers, clergy and lay folk alike – all are invited to take a closer look at
that which speaks of our unity – one loaf to represent one body.” From the

Mysteries of Silence WAS $18.95
by Christopher Lewis
Spiritually evocative, Christopher Lewis’ first volume of poetry
awakens the reader to the mysteries and divine realities hidden in the
everyday. Lyrical imagery of the natural world incarnates the author’s
vision of a universe pulsing with meaning and divine purpose. With
sincerity and beauty, he shares his own journey towards prayer:
Not even then
is one able to capture by concentrated thought
the light that breaks across the deep
and rising through time to eternity
makes itself known in layered radiance
of cloud-forms reshaping every moment
along the breathing storm-front of simple existence.
Penetrating and luminously expressive, Lewis offers us a unique treasure: Orthodox ethos in lyrical verse.
This is a beautiful collection of poems reflecting a mature faith and deep vision of the Presence of God filling all of life.
—Metropolitan JONAH (Paffhausen), Orthodox Church of America.
Softcover. 7 x 10. 96 pages. Twenty poems. Four black and white photos

St Herman Calendar 2009 ONLY 1 Left in Stock!
“The wealth of
the Orthodox Calendar, with its inspiring commemorations, is so great that on
any day one can begin the holy task which St. Herman gave to us as a testament
to Orthodoxy on this continent—‘From this day, from this hour, from this minute
let us strive to love God above all.’ May every day be for us such a
beginning!”
-Hieromonk
Seraphim Rose
The Orthodox
Faith, whichSt. Hermanbrought from Holy Russia to the American
continent, is one that cannot simply be taken for granted. It must be lived and
kept ever fresh by drawing continually from the living sources of Orthodoxy.
The Church’s Calendar, as the record of these sources, indicates the daily
commemorations and Scripture readings which nourish the genuine Christian life.
Every day there
are commemorations of the God-pleasers who have preceded us—prophets, apostles,
martyrs—so that their name and example will give us courage and fervency in our
Orthodox confession and life. Readings are appointed from Holy Scripture to
prepare one daily with instruction from God’s word. Likewise, the regular
cycles of feast and fast are presented so that the individual Christian can
integrate his life with the whole plan which the Church sets before us.
Each annual issue
of THE ST. HERMAN CALENDAR features a unique theme of sanctity offered as an
inspiration to Christians struggling in the modern world. Themes in the past
have included: Saints of America—Bicentennial of Orthodoxy in America, Newly
Canonized Romanian Saints, Orthodox Women Writers, and The Acquisition of the
Holy Spirit. Each feature includes brief biographies, rare photographs and
inspiring iconography.
THE ST. HERMAN
CALENDAR features dates according to the Church (Julian) Calendar alongside the
civil (Gregorian) calendar. Scriptural references are from the King James
Version of the Holy Bible.
The Orthodox
(Julian or "Old") Calendar, with corresponding civil dates. A
complete Calendar of Orthodox saints, Scripture readings, and fasting
guidelines for every day of the year, together with a listing of uncanonized
righteous ones of recent centuries. Numerous saints and righteous ones have
been added to this year’s Calendar.
The 2009 St.
Herman Calendar is dedicated to the Orthodox Church in Kosovo and Metohija,
which has been the spiritual heartland of the Serbian Orthodox people since the
early fourteenth century. It includes a recent talk given by Bishop Teodosije
of Decani Monastery in Kosovo, outlining the historical role of Decani as a
center of unconditional, impartial Christian love amidst the strife, upheaval,
and oppression that the region has seen over many centuries, up to the present
day.
The Calendar also
features photographs and descriptions of the monasteries and churches in Kosovo
that are still functioning, despite the difficult and perilous conditions in
which the Orthodox Christians live.
