St Cyril of Turaŭ [*] is chiefly known for his sermons which earned him the name of a second Chrysostom among the Eastern Slavs. They were not, however, his only literary works; not even his best. Apart from the sermons, the saintly bishop of Turaŭ left us some writings on monastic life as well as many prayers and a few canons. It may be noted that, while in recent times his sermons have attracted the attention of the scholars, in the past it was his spiritual writings, and first of all his prayers, that enjoyed the greater popularity. In his native Belarus in the 16th-17th centuries the prayers of St Cyril were printed in several editions while his sermons continued to spread in manuscript form.
