The Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church, originally published in 1894, is a comprehensive guide to the various services and rituals of the Orthodox Church. Written by G.V. Shann, a Russian Orthodox priest, the book covers everything from daily prayers and blessings to the sacraments of baptism, marriage, and confession. It also includes instructions for the celebration of the liturgical calendar, including feasts and fasts, and provides guidance for those who wish to become Orthodox Christians. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Orthodox faith, as well as for those who are already members of the Church and wish to deepen their understanding of its traditions and practices.With An Appendix Containing Offices For The Laying On Of Hands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
