4th Friday Great Compline

The Order of Great Compline for the Fourth Friday of the Great Fast.While in the Greek recensions (Greek, Melkite, Romanian, etc), it has become the custom to do Small Compline with a section of the Akathist Hymn on the first four Fridays of the Fast, the older practice still maintained by the Slavic Churches (Ukrainian, Ruthenian, Belarusian, Russian, etc) is to continue with Great Compline on Friday evening as it is a fasting day, albeit in a more abridged manner with less singing. We normally take the Canon of the Departed in the tone of the week for the odes of the day (6,7,8&9) and of the saint of the day for Saturday for the remaining odes, since the saint's commemoration is omitted at Orthros. However, as stated before, due to time restraints I am unable to add the Compline Canons this year.Please consider supporting me in creating this podcast.
