  • Clean Wednesday Matins (Dawn Morning Prayer)

    The order of Orthros (Matins and Lauds) and the 1st Hour for the 1st Wednesday of the Great Fast (Clean Week) when it occurs during a week of Tone 4 on Feb 14th. In the UGCC February 14th is the Polyeleos rank feast of the Falling Asleep of our Venerable Father Constantine, whose monastic name was Cyril, Apostle to the Slavs. However, according to the Canons of the Church, no polyeleos rank feast (with the exception of the Annunciation) may be celebrated on Monday through Friday of the First Week, and is instead transferred to the following Saturday, where it is combined with the usual Saturday commemoration. Therefore today's saint is the older commemoration of our Venerable Father Auxentius.

The Falling Asleep of St Cyril is moved to Saturday since a Polyeleos rank feast cannot be celebrated during Clean Week.

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.
