When winter begins to settle over the Northern world, the Church of Christ celebrates a “splendid three-day Pascha.”
In The Winter Pascha, Fr. Thomas Hopko opens forty meditations for the season of Advent, Christmas, and Theophany—ending with the Feast of the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple on the fortieth day after Christ’s birth.
What you’ll find in this book
- Forty meditations for Advent through the Meeting of the Lord
- Scripture-rich reflection rooted in the Church’s lectionary and hymns
- Patristic and spiritual guidance from saints, Fathers, and contemporary teachers
- A companion for prayer—comforting, clarifying, and strengthening
Written in the spirit of Fr. Hopko’s beloved The Lenten Spring, these meditations illumine the way for believers to enter more fully into the Coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in human flesh.
Ideal for: personal devotion, parish reading groups, and anyone seeking a deeper, prayerful encounter with the feasts of Advent, Nativity, and Theophany.
