Author Biography
The monks who came to Holy Trinity
Monastery from Eastern Europe after World War II inherited a
tradition of printing that stretches back almost to the invention of the
printing press in the fifteenth century. Through the fathers’ tireless efforts,
the monastery has been printing and publishing Orthodox Christian books for
almost sixty-five years. In keeping with the humble spirit required of a monk,
books which are written or prepared by members of the monastic brotherhood are
published under the general authorship of Holy Trinity Monastery.
