Divine Liturgy - Prokeimenon

The "Prokeimenon" are two verses of Psalm. During the Divine Liturgy, the reading of the Apostolos (Epistle) is preceded by one or two verses of Psalm and is followed by one or two other verses of Psalm, which are folowed by Alleluia.

Basic Rules

There is a Prokeimenon for each Sunday according to the cycle of Octo-Echos. The tone of the Prokeimenon designated to a specifric sunday in the cycle of the Triodion, Pentecostarion, etc. does not necessarily correspond to the Octo-Echos Tone.

O God of all spirits and of all flesh, who have destroyed death, overcome the devil, and given life to the world: grant, O Lord, to the souls of your servants Bucky and Shirley, who has departed from this life, that it may rest in a place of light, in a place of happiness, in a place of peace, where there is no pain, no grief, no sighing. And since You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, forgive him/her every sin he/she has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for there is not a man who lives and does not sin : You alone are without sin, your righteousness is everlasting, and your word is true. You are the Resurrection and the Life, and the repose of your departed servants Bucky and Shirley. O Christ our God, and we send up glory to You, together with your eternal Father and your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and for ages upon ages. Amen.
