Armenian version:

AN EXPLANATORY HANDBOOK OF THE HOLY LITURGY
OF THE ARMENIAN CHURCH PUBLISHED IN ANTELIAS

An explanatory handbook of the Holy Liturgy of the Armenian Church was
recently published in Antelias with the aim of encouraging public
participation in the church services.

The handbook provides explanation in the form of footnotes on each page
about all the acts involved in a particular service and the movements of the
celebrant so believers can keep track of what goes on the Holy Altar.

Editor V. Rev. Krikor Chiftjian writes in the editor’s note section of the
handbook: "Of the writings that have reached us from the Holy Fathers of the
Armenian Apostolic Church grouped in this book are the symbolic explanations
of Holy Liturgy. This is not an attempt to interpret Holy Liturgy, but an
effort to encourage the participation of our people in it." He expresses
hope that the handbook will bring the Armenian believer closer to Holy
Liturgy.
