“The Nine Angelic Orders - A Prayer of St. Basil the Great:
O Existing One, Master, Lord God! Thou art praised by
Angels,
Archangels,
Thrones,
Dominions,
Principalities,
Authorities,
Powers,
and many-eyed Cherubim.
Rounded about Thee stand the Seraphim, one with six wings and the other with six wings. With two they cover their faces, with two they cover their feet, and with two they fly, crying to one another with unceasing voices and ever-resounding praises.”

For those looking to find some books on Orthodoxy to read, just a reminder that archive.org has a massive collection of all kinds of books that are free and legal to access (including audio files and various videos). Some books require you to make a free account and ‘check’ the pdf out for a limited time. Others let you download them into EPUB or PDF format for unlimited access. All you need to do is put in some basic search terms like “The Orthodox Church”, “Orthodox Christianity”, “Orthodox Christian Theology”. I’d also recommend putting in specific book titles. E.g. they have copies of “The Orthodox Way”, “The Orthodox Church” “For the Life of the World” - which are all recommended by OCA.
