Ivan Dmitrevsky (1754-1823), author of the book Explanation of the Divine Liturgy, was educated at the Moscow Theological Academy, later served as a translator at the Holy Synod, and from 1800 taught at Moscow University. This work was first published in Moscow in 1804, then reprinted many times. This is a fundamental work on the history of the emergence of the order of the Divine Liturgy with a deep and detailed dogmatic explanation of its actions according to the prophecies of the Old Testament; it also reveals the mysterious, mystical meaning of the celebration of the liturgy.
“Here is shown,” the author writes, “the beginning of each part, each rite and action, the intention and purpose in establishing them, and then the mysterious signs that raise thoughts to heavenly objects, or the main and most important events of the life of our Savior are depicted in their sequence ... ". In the appendix, he placed "The Book of the Church and an Explanation of the Liturgy" - a work by the outstanding liturgist St. Simeon of Thessalonica, consonant with the theme of his work. The publication ends with an extensive commentary prepared by Ivan Dmitrevsky himself. The book is addressed to those who wish to perceive what happens at the Divine Liturgy more consciously and deeply.
