The tone and the day's psalms

This week's tone is 7Eight tones — the Octoechos

What is a tone?

A tone is not a psalm number. It is the mode in which that week's resurrection hymns are sung — the whole week's Vespers, Matins and Liturgy are set in one tone.

There are eight tones, and they change each week. The cycle opens with the first tone on Thomas Sunday after Pascha and returns to the first every eight weeks; Bright Week itself has no tone of its own. A new tone begins on Saturday evening, with the new church week.

The Psalter is divided into twenty kathismata and, by the usual rule, is read through once a week. Appointed for this day:

This is the usual rule. In Great Lent the Psalter is read twice a week, and the kathismata are divided differently.

Word of the day

Whatever offence befalls you, whatever unpleasantness you meet, say: “This I will bear for Jesus Christ!” Only say this, and at once your heart will be eased, for the name of Jesus Christ is mighty. Before it every unpleasantness grows calm, and demons vanish. Your heartache too will ease, your faint-heartedness will be quieted, when you repeat His sweetest name.
