View ReadingsAbout the Lectionary
The lectionary is a prescribed set of scripture readings for use during Christian worship, arranged according to the liturgical calendar. Our lectionary guides the faithful through the Holy Bible in a systematic manner throughout the church year.
Each period of the church year—from the Sanctification Sunday through Great Lent, from Easter to Koodosh Edtho, and including special feast days—has its own appointed readings that illuminate the theological themes of that season.
