Learn how the Judean monasteries and the cenobitic life shaped
Orthodox monasticism for centuries to come. Discover where, how and by
whom the Church's hymnody, liturgical order and dogma were developed,
and whose Typikon has continued through the centuries to take first
place among the Typika which regulate the liturgical order of the
Eastern Orthodox Church. When Egypt slipped into heresy or schism and
the Athonite monasteries were far into the future, together with the
baptism of Russia, it was the Lavra of St. Savvas, with the other
surviving Judean monasteries, which established the teachings,
traditions, and standards accepted by the Church today. Translated
from the Greek of The Great Synaxaristes of the Orthodox Church.
