About the author

Rather than a single person, this author entry refers to the Russian Orthodox Church as a corporate or institutional author. Library and bookseller records group a range of religious works under this name, including prayer books, catechisms, school prayer rules, and liturgical manuals.

Project Gutenberg lists Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church under this author name, while catalog pages such as the Online Books Page and bookseller databases show many other editions and devotional titles published under the same heading. In practice, that means the name usually points to church-issued texts compiled, authorized, or published by the institution rather than to one identifiable individual.

Because this is an organization and not a person, there is no appropriate single-author portrait to use here.
