Things may have been a bit quiet around here for several weeks, but do not mistake this for a sign of inactivity: there’s work, of course, and the increased frequency of services during the Lenten season, but I have also been occupied by a number of projects that I have finally had the chance to tackle. For example, this morning I finished at long last the “Scriptural Index to the Homilies in the Prolog of Ohrid,” which is now available as a static page here at The Voice of Stefan:
https://voxstefani.wordpress.com/prolog-index/
There you will find a very brief introduction to the index, so I will avoid repeating myself here. I stated to compile this after many unsuccessful attempts to find one homily or another that I was certain I had read before in the Prolog. I have already consulted the index innumerable times during its various stages of preparation, and I hope it will be as helpful to others as it has been to me personally.
Bravo on finishing that index! I’ve had the same problem with trying to find the homilies.

Thanks for this! I only wish the two-volume set of St Nikolai’s Homilies based on the Church year (not the homilies in the Prolog) was available at a better price. I was able to purchase it at St Tikhon’s a few months ago when I was there on pilgrimage but it cost $100! It is well worth it, but it would be great if it was cheaper so that more people could afford it.

Aaron> Well, I don’t think many people have noticed, but at least if anyone does a Google search for an index to the homilies in the Prolog, they’ll get here! I’m just glad I don’t have to go through all 366 anymore just to find the one I’m looking for.
Fr John> You and me both! I myself don’t own that set precisely because it is so expensive. I don’t know why those Lazarica Press books are so highly priced: even their edition Prolog is twice as expensive as the Sebastian Press one.
