The intent of this publication is to offer an English language service book for the various forms of Orthros (also known as Matins), to be used by the laity in accordance with common practice in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

As the primary target of this publication is the layperson, we have chosen to offer unabbreviated service texts for each form of the Orthros, in order that one does not need to flip back and forth as might be found with other service texts intended for Reader and Chanter.

For clergy, we have added the 12 prayers recited during the six psalms as an
Appendix to this volume.

About the Translation

As with many services of the Orthodox Church, the Psalter (or book of Psalms) is the basis of evening prayer in the service of Vespers. For this volume, we have chosen to use the scripture from the St. Athanasius Academy Septuagint™, which is a translation commonly found in English-based Orthodox worship.
