A Choirmaster’s Reflections on the Twelve Passion Gospels: Guest Article by Fr. Herman MajkrzakGregory DiPippo
One of the most powerful services of the extremely rich Byzantine Holy Week is Matins of Great and Holy Friday, known as the Matins of the Twelve Gospels.

The Anti-Iconoclast Mass of Passion ThursdayGregory DiPippo
Today’s Divine Office contains an unusual feature: the antiphons of the Benedictus and Magnificat are not taken from the Gospel of the Mass (Luke 7, 36-50), as they are on nearly every other day of Lent. Instead, the former is taken from the Passion of St Matthew (26, 18), “The master saith, ‘My time is near at hand, with thee I keep the Pasch with...
