Welcome to

of Archimandrite Ephrem
The day of
Resurrection;
let us be radiant for the festival,
and let us embrace one another.
Let us say, brethren, even to those that hate us,
‘Let us forgive all things on the Resurrection’,
and so let us cry,
‘Christ has risen from the dead:
by death he has trampled on death,
and to those in the graves
he has
given life’.
On these pages you will find, in the main, translations of our Orthodox liturgical and patristic texts. Most of the latter are of texts which have not been previously translated into English, or which are only available in rare or outdated versions.

As there is now a great deal on these pages, I have decided to draw attention to recently added material by listing it here and adding the necessary hyperlinks, and reminders, with hyperlinks, to appropriate pages from earlier years.
My more recent translations of our liturgical texts contain notes, including biblical and patristic cross references, as well as discussions of rare or interesting words and expressions. For this reason I shall put them up in both HTML and PDF formats. In this way they can easily be downloaded for liturgical use without footnotes.
On the web site of the parish of St Anthony and St John the Baptist in Islington you will find a simple Commentary on the Divine Liturgy.
