What is the Indestructible Psalter and where can I order it?

History and significance

The Psalter is one of the most ancient liturgical books, which was created by David, is a poetic work and has its roots in the 4-5 centuries AD. The name comes from a ten-string musical instrument that is somewhat similar to a harp. The book is actively used in the modern Church, and it is divided into three main sections:

• instructive;
• laudatory;
• repentant;

Separate parts of the Psalter are recited before reading the Bible and church songs. The collection, consisting of individual texts (psalms), was included in the monastery charter near the Euphrates River by Abbot Alexander. For a long time he did not dare to include the Indestructible Psalter in the list of obligatory prayers for reading and asked God for a sign. Alexander read the texts for three years and received permission from the Lord, which sounded verbatim: “Begin what you have planned - it pleases Me.”

Just after this event, the monastery was renamed the monastery of the Unsleeping. After these events, Alexander opened several more monasteries, and stories about this innovation began to be passed on from mouth to mouth of parishioners. Gradually, the psalms began to be read all over the world.

One of the varieties of forms of cell monastic prayer, directed to the Lord, could once be read by one person. This was achieved by Egyptian and Palestinian hermit monks, who managed to read the Psalter in a day, without interruption for a second.
