An exquisite liturgical bilingual Greek / English Gospel for the Holy Altar Table. While this edition has been designed for the Holy Altar, it can also serve as a beautiful edition to any home prayer corner or library.
This uniquely beautiful 620 pages publication is hardbound in red cloth with gold stamping, gilded edges, two page marker ribbons, and includes a clothbound gold-stamped slipcase. Printed on 100 GSM acid-free light cream paper, this edition includes original color illuminations based on ancient prototypes and finely pencil-drawn iconographic illustrations that give it a uniquely beautiful Orthodox aesthetic. The text also includes marginal notes (Old Testament references, Gospel reference locators, and select Synaxarion notices) that enhance the Gospel text for study and usability.
Translation: This edition of the Gospel includes the modern English text of the Eastern / Orthodox Bible (EOB) - an Orthodox translation of the New Testament based on the Patriarchal text of 1904. The Patriarchal Text of 1904 is the normative edition of the Liturgical text of Holy Gospel for the Orthodox Church.
