This year, the Russian Orthodox Youth Committee has been able to reprint the bilingual pocket-size Prayer Book in soft cover.

The Prayer Book includes the Order for Communion and an akathist to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, as well as troparia and kontakia for each Sunday, as well as for Pascha and the Twelve Great Feasts.

This Church Slavonic Prayer Book is written using Russian orthography with parallel English translation, which helps the reader better understand each and every word with which we address God in our prayers.

It can serve as an excellent gift for parishioners or schoolchildren.

To order, please visit the committee’s website www.royc.info on the "Book" page, or e-mail calendars2@verizon.net for more information.

The cost of the new Prayer Book is $16 (inc. shipping); orders of 15 and more are $10 each, plus shipping and handling.
