Daily Orthodox Offices is a quiet companion for the Eastern Orthodox cycle of prayer — the canonical hours kept by the Church through the day and night.
A living 24-hour dial shows the present hour at a glance, with the current office lit in gold and a slow hand sweeping through the day. Tap an office to read its commemoration and a short prayer — or tap "Pray this Hour" to read the service itself.
THE SERVICES
Each office includes an abbreviated form intended for lay reading, following the Russian usage:
- The usual beginning, in the reader's form — for praying without a priest
- The psalms appointed to the hour, by their Septuagint numbering
- The troparia and Theotokia of the hour
- The prayer of the hour, in full
- Quiet rubrics marking what is said, and what is read
A follow-along outline of the Divine Liturgy is included as well, offered so that the faithful may prepare. The Liturgy is served by a priest in the church and is not read at home.
