This is about 24 very useful Supplicatory Canons to the Holy Trinity and to our Lord Jesus Christ. Most of these canons are either published for the first time, and indeed completely, or are rare and unknown.

The collection includes Supplications: to the Holy Trinity (4 canons), for various feasts (2 Supplications for the Transfiguration, 2 for the Holy Cross, 1 for the resurrection of Lazarus, 1 for the Holy Tomb of the Lord, 3 for the Resurrection of Christ and Easter), as well as for various needs (2 supplications for every illness and disease, 2 for plague and pestilence, 1 for drought, 1 in fear of earthquake, 1 for every misfortune and danger, 4 penitential canons for every supplication).

This present collection is also adorned with various and beautiful prayers, with content relevant to the specific topic of each Supplication: penitential prayers to the Holy Trinity, to Jesus Christ, for the Transfiguration, for the Crucifixion and the Passion of the Lord, for pestilence outbreaks, in the threat of earthquakes, for the handling of illnesses, for every need and evil eye, and many others.

Thus, the present volume is at the same time a special prayer book, which can serve both the sacred clergy and the devout faithful.

Finally, in an appendix, approximately 60 glorifications are included – also for the first time – covering triadic, resurrectional, penitential, crucifixion, funeral, and others, along with a series of 100 glorifications that cover every major feast of the year. These glorifications are suitable for supplications, processions, sacred vigils, etc.
