www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Faith & Theology Byzantine Epistle & Gospel of the Day on iPhone.

Am gaging interest--albeit after development.
The Daily Readings I send out (today in Arabic, English, or Brazilian Portuguese) will shortly be available on the iPhone. (It is currently awaiting approval from Apple.)

Will this be of interest to anyone on this forum?

Today, the daily e-mail contains the Epistle (including prokeimena and Alleluia verses), Gospel, and synaxarion of the particular day--concurrence of feasts, service periods, seasons, etc., follows the typikon.

(You can find or subscribe to the readings here: http://www.melkites.org/en/readings .)

According to which church's calendar?

For the Ruthenian propers differ somewhat from the Russian...

Matta I have noticed Fr. Deacon Stan printing them off and reading them several times during the day of a given service. We don't use IPhone so I don't know about that.

Aramis: According to the Melkite typikon, which follows the Antiochian / Greek tradition. In fact, from 24 January this year (2010), the Melkite, Antiochian Orthodox, and Greek Orthodox Churches will use the same calendar of readings for two years. (The next two Easters coincide.)

Pani Rose: thanks! Am glad to hear of people making use of them. There have been a lot of blodd, sweat, and headaches that have gone into their production and continued distribution!
