* * * Lives, Akathist Hymns and Supplicatory Canons to the Swift Helper Saints Nicholas, Minas and Haralambos Neither prayer without instruction, nor instruction without prayer are good. And an accomplished Christian will have them both. The present book not only provides the akathist hymns and supplicatory canons (parakleses) to well-known saints highly venerated by the Romanian people, but it also prefaces them with ample accounts of their lives, documented by the Scriptures and Church Fathers. Thus, by knowing the lives and struggles, virtues and sacrifice of these great saints: Nicholas, Minas and Haralambos, glorious bearers and confessors of God’s grace, we find spiritual food and feel the urge to pray for their intercession before the throne of the Creator and Master of all.
