Prayers by St. Grigor Narekatsi, translated by Thomas Samuelian

This book of the complete prayers of St. Grigor Narekatsi in both English and Armenian will bring your Armenian faith to life through poetic prayers filled with poetic images of hope and salvation.

St. Grigor Narekatsi was born circa 950 to a family of scholarly churchmen, and entered the Narek Monastery on the shore of Lake Van at a young age. His prayer book is the work of his mature years, when he appeared to have been suffering from a debilitating, terminal illness. So powerful have his prayers continued to cry out to the Armenian faithful that for centuries they have been worn as healing talismans and placed under the pillows of the infirm.

This prayer book has historically been the most often reprinted Armenian books. This new pocket-sized translation helps bring it into easy reach for today's readers and features introductory essays and a catalog of prayers by topic.
