Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
on the 5th of the month
This translation of the office for 5 August only contains the texts for the Forefeast. I have added a number of footnotes containing the references to biblical passages alluded to in the texts.
One curious feature of Matins is the presence of a Triode. One would rather have expected one at Compline. The Irmi of the main Canon are those of the Mother of God.
Forefeast of the Holy Transfiguration of our Lord and God and Saviour, Jesus Christ; and commemoration of the Holy Martyr Efsignios.
Translated by Ephrem Lash. Edition lash.en.anastasis.
