**ANASTASIS**

Welcome to Anastasis

the Home Page

of the Monastery of Saint Andrew the First Called

Manchester, England

****L****et the impious’ lips be bereft of speech,

who do not worship this your icon, the all-revered,

this which was depicted

by Luke, the Lord’s Apostle,

the icon with the title,

‘She who points out the Way’.

On these pages you will find, in the main, translations of our Orthodox liturgical and patristic texts. Most of the latter are of texts which have not been previously translated into English, or which are only available in rare or outdated versions.

As the texts on these pages change frequently, I would ask visitors to link to this opening page only. In this way you will find what is available more easily. I have tried deliberately to keep things simple, by not using frames and other elegant refinements.

**Click on the book icon to be taken to the Table of Contents for the whole site The Search facility near the bottom of this page is also a way of finding your way around quickly and easily.**

Some visitors to these pages have pointed out that when printed out in black and white only, the distinction between text and rubrics is lost. This can be overcome if the pages are saved into a word processor and then edited, rather than being printed directly from the screen. The original text of nearly all these pages was prepared in Microsoft Word 2000.

As there is now a great deal on these pages, I have decided to draw attention to recently added material by listing them here and adding the necessary hyperlinks, and reminders, with hyperlinks, to appropriate pages from earlier years.

You will find a great treasure house of Orthodox material and good sense at , David Melling’s home page. He has now launched a new web page devoted to Orthodox church music. The address is: It includes his manual of Psalmodia in PDF format.
