Anthologion

Book excerpt: The Anthologion is an Eastern Orthodox prayer book that uniquely includes a treasury of selections from the riches of Orthodox prayer and worship, including the Book of Hours (Horologion), the Book of Eight Tones (Octoechos), the common services of Saints (General Menaion), selections from the Paschal season (Triodion and Pentecostarion), traditional morning and evening prayers, topical prayers for different occasions, and more. Suitable for use individually or with a group, this monumental book aims to fill the place that the Breviary or Liturgy of the Hours fills for Western Christians: offering the full daily office of prayer in a slightly simplified form, with texts for special feast days and seasons. It is a prayer library in a single book.
