questions re Psalter

Post by Joe Zollars »

how does one know which Psalms are in which Kathismata, what Kathismatas to read when, and when unable to purchase the Psalter according to the seventy, from which version should one read them?

Here is what one can use to see which psalms are in the Kathismas for a specific day, as it has them all labeled and written out for each day: http://pomog.org/psalter.shtml

There's other sites online as well, which could probably be found on Google /\

This is sort of unrelated, but here's another good liturgical website:

And of course everyone knows about Fr. John Whiteford's site:

Psalter readings

Post by user_181 »

Hello Joe,

If you want a portable option, the Hapgood Service Book has a table indicating which psalms are to be read for each kathisma. :P

I checked St. John of Kronstadt Press, my personal supplier of choice, and they did not have it. However, St. Nectarios Press does have it. You can find it at this link: http://stnectariospress.com/catalog/prayer_b.htm .
Scroll down until you see the following:
(SB) SERVICE BOOK OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
translated by Isabel Hapgood
The classic English translation of Orthodox services. Contains daily cycle of services, Divine Liturgy, some of the Great Feasts, and many services from the Book of Needs such as ordinations, burials, wedding, baptism, and more. 616pp. Cloth e$22.00 Order

I personally like this book as, in addition to the table we spoke of, it has many other services in it. Plus it is not very big and can easily be put in a backpack or suitcase. I hope this helps. :) Take care.

-John
