Moscow Patriarchate Publishing Office Issues “Greek-Russian Dictionary of Christian Church Vocabulary”

Such a dictionary has been published for the first time and includes a large amount of modern Greek ecclesiastical terminology.

This book includes terminology and concepts of theological subjects, such as dogmatics, Biblical studies, liturgics, iconography, hymnography, church law, Orthodox anthropology and Christian ethics, church architecture, Byzantine chant, sectology, and a so-called “Vocabulary of Mt. Athos,” which depicts language fundamentals of the monastic life on Mt. Athos.

Dictionary entries are followed by explanatory articles about the specifics of Greek church practice. The dictionary is recommended to clergymen, students of theological institutions, translators, pilgrims, and all those who wish to come into contact with the treasures of the Greek language.

The author of this reference book is Fr. Alexander Nazarenko. Academic consultants are Fr. Maksim Plyakin (hymnography) and Mrs I.V. Starikova (Byzantine chant).

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
