First Fruits of Prayer: A Forty-Day Journey through the Canon of St. Andrew
 
Join Frederica Mathewes-Green on a guided retreat through an ancient Orthodox text. First Fruits of Prayer will bring to life the prayer experience of first millennium Christianity through immersion in this poetic hymn, an extraordinarily beautiful work that is still chanted by Christians around the world each Lent. It weaves together Old and New Testament Scriptures with prayers of hope and repentance and offers ancient ways of seeing Christ that still feel new today.
