Saint Vladimir the Enlightener: Life, Service, Akathist Hymn


trans. Isaac Lambertsen


The original printing of the Life of St. Vladimir, the Enlightener of Russia, sold out some time ago — and has been replaced by this new edition, amplified by the inclusion of the liturgical service and akathist hymn in his honor. Thus it joins the growing collection of such “triads” published by the St. John of Kronstadt Press, reflecting our conviction that prayer is most effective when based upon greater awareness of the rich spiritual history of the Faith... and that knowledge is of little value unless it leads to prayer.
