An English translation of the Lenten Triodion, the Orthodox service book for the weeks of preparation before Lent, Great Lent itself and Holy Week, made by Mother Mary of the monastery at Bussy-en-Othe and Archimandrite Kallistos Ware and published by Faber and Faber in 1978 (about 699 pages; reissued by St Tikhon's Seminary Press in 2002). It is the companion to their Festal Menaion (1969). A separate volume of supplementary texts followed from the monastery. It remains the standard English Triodion.
