Holy Trinity Publications has prepared an improved and corrected edition of The Great Canon for distribution in time for Great Lent.
Among the changes:
- The text has been thoroughly edited to conform precisely to the translation by Archimandrite Kallistos and Mother Mary, as published by Faber & Faber in 1977.
- Scriptural citations are now given as footnotes, rather than inline text.
- Rubrical instructions have been revised to conform to the practice of Holy Trinity Monastery.
- Other minor errata have been corrected.
This is the classic canon of repentance, chanted in parts over the first four days of the Lenten Fast and in its entirety on the Thursday of the fifth week. The full text of the life of our Holy Mother Mary of Egypt is also given, as read liturgically during Matins on the Thursday of the fifth week. Traditional English translation by Mother Mary and Archimandrite Kallistos (Ware).

To begin to understand true repentance, there is perhaps no greater place to start than with the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete and the life of St. Mary of Egypt. Together, they form one of the treasured pillars of Great Lent, teaching us that repentance is not merely sorrow for sin, but the lifelong journey of turning our hearts back to God, trusting in His boundless mercy and grace.
Excited to have the text for this and looking forward to next year’s Great Lent when Iwill be able to follow using my own book
