The Online Reader Service
Horologion
At
this point, the collection of services is not yet complete, but it is our hope
to put more of these services online as time and opportunity permit. At this point, only the services of Small and
Great Compline and the Midnight Office take into account Lenten
variations. In time, Lenten texts of the
hours, Vespers, and Matins, will be added.
All of these services are set up as reader services, for use when there
is no priest to serve the usual services.
The structure of these services is based on the Old-Rite Typikon for
Reader’s Services, by Bishop Daniel (ROCA), as translated by Fr. George Lardas. All the
psalms are from The Psalter According to the
Seventy, published by Holy Transfiguration in
It
should be noted that these are not official liturgical texts of the Russian
Orthodox Church Abroad, and no doubt have some shortcomings that will hopefully
be improved over time.

of these texts had minor revisions, which were posted on 2-24-2002
