The Horologion contains the daily Hours of prayer that form the daily cycle of Orthodox Christian prayer. The eight daily liturgical Hours sanctify the hours of the day and night by commemorating the saving events of the Holy Gospel, praising and thanking God for the beginning and end of each day and entreating His mercy and grace at all times so that we may be pleasing unto Him and preserved from sin. The psalms, prayers and supplications are a school of prayer and Orthodox Christian teaching to those that hear and pray them attentively. Learn more about the monastery at https:/holycross.org.

THE SIXTH HOUR, which corresponds by our reckoning to the twelfth hour of the day, recalls the salvific events which took place at that hour: the crucifixion of the Lord on the Cross between two thieves, the mockery of the soldiers and of those who passed by the suffering Lord, and the darkness which then covered the earth. In accordance with this, corresponding psalms are selected. In them prayer is offered up unto the Lord with hope in His aid, and the betrayal of Judas, the hatred of the Jews who sought the death of the Lord, and the sufferings of the Savior, both spiritual and bodily, are prophetically depicted; the darkness which covered the earth from the sixth until the ninth hour is depicted; then the gladness of men who turn to God for help is portrayed. In ancient handwritten Horologia the psalms of the Sixth Hour are the same as they are today. At the reading of the Hours, it is customary to read the Troparion and Kontakion hymns of the feast (if applicable) or of the saint of the day. However, in order to make the Hours herein available for general use throughout the Church year, the Troparion and Kontakion to the Holy Cross are used.Holy Cross Monastery Online Store:https://holycross.org/collectionsHoly Cross Monastery Live Broadcast: https://youtube.com/channel/UCQ-sqeQbmgzrL0t8uFJm4Ew Paypal Donation Link: https://paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1336755HOLY CROSS MONASTERY is an English-speaking Orthodox Christian monastic brotherhood within the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia in the Diocese of Eastern America & New York.
