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 teaching to those that hear and pray them attentively. All readings supplied by Holy Cross Monastery: https:/holycross.org.

THE FIRST NOUR, which corresponds by our reckoning to the seventh hour of the morning, recalls how the Lord Jesus Christ was led into the praetorium from Caiaphas to Pilate, “like an evil-doer, the Benefactor bound, and how there the Judge of all the world was slandered by the lawless high priests and elders of the Jews, and by an unjust judge was condemned.” It is believed that the First Hour was established in Palestinian monasteries in the fourth century. 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.
