This document lists these private reading divisons, up to this time not available in English. This system results in the Epistles, minus the Apocalypse which is not printed in the liturgical Epistolary, being read through in 8 weeks, and the Gospels being read through in 4 weeks. Since the Revelation (Apocalypse) of St. John is prescribed to be read in some seasons at the Night Vigil, and is in the Slavonic Bible, it is also included in the table below (and adds two additional weeks to the readings). This 'Lectionary for the Kellia' can be used in various ways:
Thus far the Introductions to each of the Books of the New Testament that are in the Slavonic Epistle and Gospel books have not been published in English. |
