Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church: With an Appendix Containing Offices for the Laying on of Hands

The ''Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church'', first published in 1894 and translated into English by G. V. Shann, is a compilation of essential liturgical texts for the Orthodox Christian tradition. This collection provides prayers and services for various life events, from birth to death, reflecting the spiritual needs of the faithful. It serves as a translation of the Slavonic ''Trébnik'' and includes clarifications for accessibility, making it a valuable resource for both church officials and laypersons in executing religious rites.
