What it is
Festal sermons of high rhetorical polish, giving speeches to biblical figures and describing spring as the resurrection of the world.
Why it lasted
The finest preaching of early Rus, and evidence that Byzantine rhetorical training had taken root in the Slavic north.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
