Cezar, I don't believe that Goar has been made accesible in electronic form. The book was published first in Paris in 1647, reprinted in Venice in 1630, and...
Dear All, It may be in kryuki, which I can't read, and haven't devoted the last decade or the next to learning. That's the trouble with self-educated people!...
It's true. But in Romania I have no idea where to find this book. I was very happy when Dmitrievsky's 2nd volume was scanned and made available on-line. I hope...
I have had a sudden family emergency and apologise that I couldn't get to a computer to let you know sooner than this. Please see Fr. John Whiteford's website...

Dear Father Christopher, Highly Esteemed Brother and Concelebrant Before the Holy Throne of the Most-holy Trinity, Greetings in the Name of our Lord and God...
... JRS: There is no rubric calling for a prostration here. The reason such a custom seems to have spread, is that in the Russian Church the response to "Let...
Dear Father John, Thank you for the explanation on the extended response, "It is meet and right" in Russian practice. It's always interesting to learn about...
Dear Friends -- As I was instructed (Valaam/Gethsemane Skete rules, maybe): 1. The clergy in the altar (and everyone in the temple) make a full prostration at...
... JRS: That, however, would be a local practice: certainly not one embraced by most Orthodox. ... JRS: JRS: But in fact, there is never any "kneeling" called...
... between a quick up-and-down prostration and 'kneeling', which is forbidden by the canons on certain days and in certain seasons. This would certainly have...
Dear Friends - Without casting any aspersions on Father Harry or his recollection of his sources, I have to say that the rule he adduces is ridiculous, a...
Father, I apologize for not given a clear demonstration of my point. My point was not to state that the mentioned practice while washing is "correct" nor that...
SPECIAL NOTE: Please continue to keep the handmaiden of God Marina (Meg Lark) in your prayers. She is recovering slowly from complications of surgery on August...
The troparia at the Beatitudes are somewhat in disrepair: words are missing (in the 3rd and 6th), the order is transposed (3 and 4), and the translation is...

I might point out that the pre-Nikonian Russian service books (including the Sluzhebnik and Sabbaitic Typikon) has very specific instructions to do a limited...
Christ is risen! Truly risen! Dear Friends -- Please let me assure you that Fr Harry hasn't offended me in the least, and there's no need for him to ask...
Dear All: I'm sure the discussion on this topic will go back & forth without end. I would like to note a few items. 1. There are at least two (if not more)...
This year our patronal feast (St Silouan) is on a Sunday, and Archbishop Kyrill will be here to ordain our deacon to the priesthood. For the occasion we're...

My recollection is that if a vigil rank feast falls on a Sunday, the choir sings the Polyeleos, then the clergy sing the Maginification once without Psalm...
... This is the usual practice. If one opts to do the verses & the repetitions of the magnification, then one omits the GNE & the alleluias at the end of the...
This is typically the case. By rights, the Magnification should not be shortened, but in typical Russian practice, on weekdays, it is sung not in its entirety,...
Hi everybody. We do it this way (weekdays): We do not sing a verse when singing the first time the Magnification after the clergy. - Choir sings the Polyeleos...
On a recent trip to a traditionalist Orthodox church of Greek origin, the cantor was trying to explain to me the differences between Greek and Russian matins....
I am assuming that this practice arose because the censing takes place during the Evlogitaria and thus the extra Psalm verses are not needed to give time for...
