Akathist to St Sergius

[Mary Grechny]

I have been trying to find the Akathist to St.Sergius of Radonezh online. Can someone help me with this?

[Andreas Moran]

Dear Mary,

I can't find it online. They say you can get the text from St John of Kronstadt Press.

In Christ,

Andreas.

You can go to the following page of the Akafistnik site. http://akafistnik.ru/rus.htm#%D1

Scroll down to C in cyrillic. There are two akafists to St Sergei there.

In Christ- Fr Raphael

Sorry - I meant in English.

I recently received from St John of Kronstadt Press the offprint copy of the Akathist to St Sergius of Radonezh in English. My wife says the Slavonic text is very hard going even for her; it's in a very 'baroque' style with complex sentences and difficult vocabulary. This seems reflected in the English translation. The translator has made a valiant effort but it does read like a translation, and my wife takes issue with the choice of words here and there. Still, for me, it will make future visits to the Holy Trinity St Sergius Lavra more meaningful.
