Telethros (Gregorian) episodes

  • Announcement Feb 17

    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 swing that, Monday Morning will definitely see a resumption of the regular schedule.

    I also received many requests for a way to support the Podcast. Links and usernames for a few CashApps have been included in the main Podcast description should you chose to support me in this way. I thank all of you profusely.

  • Feb 17 Matins for Saturday of the Miracle of St Theodore & Transferred St Cyril

    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 combination of the Saint with the Triodion really threw me for a loop.

  • Clean Friday Great Compline

    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. This week, due to the concurrence of the transferred feast of St Cyril, the Troparion and Kondakion after the 1st and 3rd parts of Great Canon are of St Cyril instead of the Departed.

  • Clean Friday Vespers

    The Order of 9th Hour, Typika, and Vespers for Clean Friday, with the yearly commemoration of the Miracle of St Theodore the Recruit. Due to it not being lawful to celebrate feasts of a certain rank or higher during the first week of the Great Fast, the Feb 14th commemoration of the Falling Asleep of Constantine, who in monastic tonsure was named Cyril, Teacher of the Slavs, is moved to the 1st Saturday and celebrated in conjunction with St Theodore. Therefore this Vespers is also in place of Great Vespers for Cyril.

About Telethros (Gregorian)

From the publisher's feed

In this podcast, I will be uploading reader versions of services in the Byzantine Rite, on the Gregorian Calendar, mostly according to the usage of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. These are meant as guides to accompany and even direct life in the domestic church. We all live much busier lives than our ancestors, whose rural living in tight-knit villages around their parish churches allowed them to live their lives to the rhythm of the Church Year. We, however, often find ourselves commuting long distances or working longer hours which don't allow us the luxury of daily church attendance. So many of us turn to home prayer rules, but resources can often be few and far between, and even when they do exist, they can be complicated and time consuming to use. That's where this podcast wants to provide some support. By making the reader services, as they would be done un-priested in home or church worship, available in an audio-only format, my hope is that more of us can be uplifted by the liturgical core of our Byzantine Spiritual and Liturgical Tradition to maintain our prayer life in our busy modern lives.
