Bible readings in church

• Psalms in every service
• OT at some Vespers, NT at some Matins and every Liturgy
• Matins Gospel
• Liturgy Epistle and Gospel
• Not random, but predetermined cycles, movable and immovable
• Movable cycle begins on Easter Sunday
• Gospel of John from Easter to Pentecost
• Then Matthew (with some Mark) until Sept. 14
• After Sept. 14, Luke (with some Mark)
• Fixed cycle of dates of feast days and Saints’ memories
• Entire NT not read in church, Revelation never
• Entire Gospels can be read during first few days of Holy Week
• Entire book of Acts can be read just prior to the Resurrection service
• One year Bible is a good tool to read the whole Bible
