Description
Natalya Sukhina’s book “Don’t Sell the Pearl Necklace” will be an excellent support and help in the process of becoming a churchgoer. It can be read even by those who have not yet come to God.
Written in accessible modern language, the author’s vivid and bright speech, like a guide, leads the reader into a wonderful world of Orthodoxy—introducing the basics of church life and tradition, revealing information about rites and rules of the church order.
The path of becoming churchgoer, step by step, opens the depths of Orthodoxy—those that amaze and delight a person, filling the soul with joy of communion with God. The touch of the mysterious life of the Holy Spirit in the church—through such forms as Church Mysteries (Sacraments), Church feasts, holy icons, rites, and traditions—both amazes a newcomer, and often also leaves them confused. Church Tradition carefully preserves the customs of church life and the rules that a newcomer sometimes finds hard to remember because of the overwhelming amount of information. These traditions are more than a thousand years old, and to overcome the awkwardness of the initial period, it’s useful to turn to good literature.
In this book there are four parts. The first—“The Alphabet for Beginners”—speaks for itself. It is designed to help readers understand questions of Christian worldview, behavior, people’s relationships in everyday life, Orthodox ethics, and morals. In the second part—“With a Celebration!”—readers learn a great deal about many-century-old Christian holidays and traditions—using the author’s words—about the “small joys of the Great Feast.” In the third part—“An Icon—For Help”—there is a lively and engaging account of the history of icons depicting the Mother of God and their miraculous power. And in the last part—“God’s People”—stories about the life and feat of Christ for the sake of the “fools-for-Christ” (the holy foolish) and Orthodox saints.
