description: Professor Simmons has rendered a valuable service to all those interested in prayer and the meaning of the various services of the Orthodox Church by translating into English Saint Symeon's Treatise on An Explanation of the Services of the Orthodox Church. Orthodox Christians will be particularly interested in Saint Symeon's interpretation of the various services and prayers heard in Orthodox worship, for he gives answers to the frequently heard "Why do we do this?" and "What does this mean?"
