Also, could someone explain (possibly in conjunction with another page): if the services for Holy Thursday through Pascha are performed 12 hours early (Vespers in the morning, Matins in the evening), then when in the week does this timing commence, and which services are abridged or eliminated to allow for it? Further, when do Vespers and Matins return to their usual times, and what is done with/during the 12-hour pause to allow for this return?
: we are talking about the service that immediately precedes the Paschal Matins. The point in Holy Week when things begin to shift is on Palm Sundayevening (with the Bridegroom Matins of Holy Monday being done in the evening), though in a monastery, the Bridegroom Matins would be done a good bit later than they are done in parish practice.
