The Apostol

Translated from the Slavonic

This book is based the Slavonic Apostol published by Holy Trinity Monastery (Jordanville, 1970). Additions to the Menaion section have been made for newer services.

The Book also contains Prokeimena, Alleluia, Communion Hymns, and Antiphons used throughtout the year, and numerous other explanatory, historical and reference material.
