Text of scripture readings referenced on our website.
The readings prescribed for the services are based on a cyclic schedule which must be maintained. Adherence to the established “calendar” of biblical readings distinguishes the Orthodox Church from a collection of congregations. The cyclic reading tradition has, in fact, made such an impression on the lives of Orthodox Christians that they can identify seasons and Sundays with names of parables and thus give added meaning to their lives in a secular world.

- Select “Luke Readings“ for movable date readings after the Lukan Jump (middle of September).
