Book translations
1. The Holy Cross Synodia was entrusted the holy task of translating the book of the life of St Joachim the Ithacan (1868✝) from Greek into English, which is now available in hard copy at the price of £5 (plus post and package).
2. Fr Jonathan has composed the life of St Lioba of Wimborne (c.782✝), a pre-schism Orthodox Saint, in a book which was also translated by the Holy Cross Synodia from English into Greek. This book is also available in hard copy in Greek at the price of £2 (plus post and package) and electronic copy (PDF) in English by donation.
All books were printed in Cyprus via a kind donation of the family of Panagiotis Ioulianou and the Church and printing company of the Transfiguration Centre in Nicosia, Cyprus. We hope that English and Greek speaking audience throughout the world will learn more of our Orthodox faith through the prayers of our St. Papoulakis (i.e. St. Joachim) and St. Lioba!
