[Gillet, Lev] 'A Monk of the Eastern Church' : The Year of Grace of the Lord: A Scriptural and Liturgical Commentary on the Calendar of the Orthodox Church. Crestwood (NY) : St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1980. Translated by Deborah Cowen from the French. Octavo (8vo), 8.5"/22cm h. Bound in publisher's glossy color pictorial wrappers, reproduction of Rublev's Old Testament Trinity to front. [iv], v-viii, 254, [255-6] blank. Author's preface, text, notes passim. Condition notes: a good-plus reading copy, formerly owned by an orthodox priest, whose red stamp graces a few pages; numerous pages have underlining or light yellow highlighting. Binding is sound, with a crease just beginning to spine: treat this one with some care and it will serve you well. An erudite resource for Orthodox Christians and Byzantine Rite Catholics for the cycle of church worship. The 'Monk' later became known as Lev Gillet, who has provided a thorough and thoughtful guidebook to the many ins and outs of the Eastern calendar. A great addition to the bookshelf of the faithful and the inquiring. We personally inspect every book we offer.…

On the basis of worship of the Orthodox Church, The Year of Grace of the Lord takes the reader through the Sundays and feast days from the beginning of the year in September to the time of its completion after Pentecost. It is a guide to the scriptural readings and prayers of the calendar year and reveals the spiritual growth in Christ that is opened to us in them. In the author's words, the liturgical year is ""an abridgement of the history of salvation."
A helpful list of reference notes, including historical and theological material, is given at the end of each chapter. This book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to know more about the development and pattern of the Orthodox liturgical year.
