Telethros (Gregorian)

The Order of Great Compline for the 2nd Wednesday of the Great Fast. The Typikon prescribes that the various Saint commemorations which are displaced during Holy Week and Bright Week be done at Great Compline throughout the 2nd to 6th Weeks of the Great Fast. The Second Wednesday thus covers the Saint of Holy and Great Monday. This year that is the Great Feast of the Annunciation which, according...

The Order of the Midnight Office for a Wednesday of the Great Fast.

The Order of Great Compline for the 2nd Tuesday of Great Lent. According to the Typikon, on this day we take the Canon of the Saint who will be omitted due to Palm Sunday. This year, Palm Sunday falls on March 24th, which has no proper saint but is the prefestive day of the Annunciation. As such, that Canon makes no sense so far removed from the Feast for which it is meant to prepare us. Therefore...

The Order of Orthros and Prime for the 1st Saturday of the Great Fast, being the annual commemoration of the Miracle of St Theodore the Recruit and the transferred commemoration of the Falling Asleep of Cyril, Teacher of the Slavs. Apologies for getting this one out too late to work in the UK. The complicated nature of being the first Matins I've done with Festal parts and the intricate combinatio...

The complicated nature of Saturday's services has left me very behind. Since most of us have access to some form of Church participation on Sundays, I am taking the decision to use the weekend to build up the coming weekdays. Therefore there will be no Uploads between Saturday Midday Prayer and Sunday Midday Prayer, inclusive. I hope to be back with material for Sunday Vespers, and if I can't swin...

The Order of the Midnight Office for Saturday Mornings, with the inclusion of some of the festal directives for the transferred feast of St Cyril.

While it has become common in Greek recension churches (Greek Orthodox, Antiochean, Melkite, Romanian, etc) to celebrate Small Compline with sections of the Akathist on Fridays, the Slavic tradition (Ruthenian, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, etc) follows the directives of the Triodion to do Great Compline (although simpler with less singing) with the Canon of the Departed in the Tone of the Week....
