Ten Homilies on Great Lent - St Nektarios of Aegina

The present book is the translation of his very first work which he wrote in 1885, while he was an ordained deacon and still a student at the University of Athens. The book consists of ten homilies which he delivered during the period of the Great Lent in 1885 in Athens, where he served. Therefore, they present some specific characteristics. As they were originally delivered as sermons at vespers or the divine liturgy, they were to be kept within a certain length of about ten pages. After each homily was delivered, it was printed at a local printing shop in a sixteen-page leaflet, a cheap and frequent way of printing at his time and they were given out to the people for their spiritual guidance and benefit.
