The holy memorial service of the Eastern Orthodox Church is a ceremony passed down from the earliest days of Christianity. In this treatise, Saint Nektarios Kefalas explains the ancient origins of this practice, its place in the life of the church, and its profound theological significance. Drawing on Scripture and a wealth of wisdom from the church fathers, he upholds the legitimacy of this tradition and shows how it came to be what it is today.
