Orthodox Services

This section provides dynamic access to an Orthodox Horologion . The Psalter is a Septuagint translation called "The Psalter According to the Seventy" by The Holy Transfiguration Monastery . The horologion prayers come from "The Great Horologion" also published by The Holy Transfiguration Monastery. Both are used with their kind permission. Finally, the translations of troparia and kontakia come from the complete Menaion translations, published by The St. John of Kronstadt Press . This section was originally a stand alone web app called "The Dynamic Horologion & Psalter".
