Daily Scripture Readings

In the Orthodox Church, the daily scripture readings follow a traditional annual lectionary organized around the liturgical calendar that begins at Pascha (Easter). Most daily services feature prescribed continuous readings from the Epistles and the Gospels, with select Old Testament readings appointed for the eves of feast days and the commemoration of saints. Passages from Genesis, Exodus, Proverbs, and select prophecies are also prescribed during the period of Great Lent.
