[Editor’s Note: The English names Faith, Hope and Charity have been used in the text throughout, instead of Vera, Nadjezhda and Liubov, or Pistis, Elpidis and Agape. The English names relate more immediately to the textual references to the virtues, as well as being more familiar and readily pronounced in chant for English-speaking readers. It would be, of course, perfectly appropriate to substitute the Russian or Greek names where desired.]
