| Great Penitential Canon of St. Andrew, archbishop of Crete (+740) has been performing in churches for almost 1200 years, and beneficial power of its words is not diminishing. It is read in parts on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the first week of the Great Lent and in full at Matins on Thursday of the fifth week. It includes stories of Old and New Testaments from the Fall to the Ascension of Christ. The author offers the Christians salutary lessons of penitence and of active ascent to God, patterns of virtuous life to follow and examples of impious life to warn oneself against.
The canon is performed by the Choir of the Holy Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev (Precentor Hierodeacon Kirill (Borisevich)) in melody of the Laura of the Caves in Kiev.
2 CD and color booklet (80 pages) with explanations and with the text of the canon. |
