Welcome to Anastasis
the Home Page
of the Monastery of Saint Andrew the First Called
Manchester, England

I must apologize for the fact that this page has not been updated for some time. This is because my host has had problems and there has been no way of accessing my page to update it. I have now decided to try a host who seems far more reliable. This has also enabled me to simplify my URL, which is now:

http://www.anastasis.org.uk

Thank you for your patience.

On these pages you will find, in the main, translations of our Orthodox liturgical and patristic texts. Most of the latter are of texts which have not been previously translated into English, or which are only available in rare or outdated versions.

As the texts on these pages change frequently, I would ask visitors to link to this opening page only. In this way you will find what is available more easily. I have tried deliberately to keep things simple, by not using frames and other elegant refinements.

Click on the book icon to be taken to the Table of Contents for the whole site The Search facility near the bottom of this page is also a way of finding your way around quickly and easily.

The date on which each page was last updated appears at the bottom of each page, but if any page has been updated or added this first page and the Table of contents will also be updated.

As there is now a great deal on these pages, I have decided to draw attention to recently added material by listing them here and adding the necessary hyperlinks, and reminders, with hyperlinks, to appropriate pages from earlier years.

You will find a great treasure house of Orthodox material and good sense at Arimathea, David Melling's home page. He has now launched a new web page devoted to Orthodox church music. The address is: http://www.church-music.co.uk/EOChant.htm It includes his manual of Psalmodia in PDF format.
