Description

The compendium of the Armenian Church's Daily Services, the Žamagirk' ("Book of Hours") amounts to a spiritual autobiography written in psalms, hymns, and heartfelt supplications. In its pages resound the Christian faith, repentance, grief and gratitude of the Armenian people, and their longing for mercy and eternal life. This presentation introduces a new, complete translation that invites English-speakers into this sacred rhythm of faith and prayer, inviting them to enter and share in Armenia's living Christian worship.

Bishop Michael Daniel Findikyan is Research Ordinary Professor of Armenian Liturgy at The Catholic University of America, Director of Doctoral Studies at Holy Etchmiadzin, and Visiting Professor at St. Nersess Seminary. He has authored numerous scholarly and popular works. His English translation and commentary on the Armenian book of Hours is forthcoming.
