About this title

Synopsis

"When the Beasts Spoke Blessing: Being an Orthodox Meditation on Saints and Animals" is a profoundly spiritual collection that invites readers on a unique poetic journey through the natural world, as seen through the lens of Orthodox Christian tradition. Spanning land, water, and sky, this book illuminates the ancient, symbiotic relationship between saints and wild kin, presenting a series of "Psalms of the Wild" that echo the liturgical depth of Orthodox hymnography. Each chapter pairs the hagiographical narrative of a revered saint-from St. Kevin communing with blackbirds to St. Brendan journeying with whales-with a contemplative psalm, reflecting on the harmony of creation and humanity's call to ecological stewardship. Through rich, elevated language, this work transcends mere nature writing, offering a "cosmic liturgy" where every creature, transfigured in divine light, joins in praising the Creator, fostering a deeper understanding of our place within a deified cosmos.
