About these readings
Feasts and readings are calculated from the MIT-licensed tables of Paul Kachur's orthodox_calendar (OCA practice). Saints' names are given in English as in that source.
Fasting days are not shown. Our lectionary source does contain fasting codes, but their labels and rules are not part of the licensed files we use and we have not verified them against a published calendar, so we leave fasting to your parish calendar.
Psalms are numbered as in the Septuagint, with the Hebrew numbering in brackets.
