Description
A Ray of Light discourses a
perennial topic of fascination and concern for all Christians—the End Times. The
reader is exhorted to be spiritually prepared at all times for the return of
Christ by understanding the pious practices of the Orthodox Christian Church as
founded on the Scriptures and interpreted by the teaching of the Fathers. To
this discourse are added essays on the veneration of Holy Icons, the power of
Holy Relics, and the kingdom of grace on earth: the Church.
 This classic text of the founder of Holy Trinity Monastery has been
freshly typeset and lightly edited and now includes a short biography of the
author in order to preserve and spread Father Panteleimon’s legacy “unto
generation and generation.”
