Abstract

Translation of liturgical texts is always of fundamental importance, because divine service, and especially in the Sacraments, expresses the whole essence of the Orthodox faith and the whole religious experience of Church. Errors in translations can serve as the basis for subsequent conceptual misconceptions and even heresies. In this research the author attempted to answer the following questions. What is meant in the Eucharistic prayer at the Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great words: “…Do not take away the grace of Your Holy Spirit from these Gifts presented because of my sins”? What is the essential lack of all available translations of this prayer from Greek into Russian?
