First Class Feasts—Feasts of the Lord
*An [[All-Night Vigil]] is appointed for the eve of the feast.
*At [[Vespers|Great Vespers]]
**The [[Psalter#Kathismata|kathisma]] reading from the [[Psalter]] that follows the litany of peace is omitted unless the feast coincides with a [[Sunday]], in which case the first kathisma (Psalms 1-8) is read at Great Vespers on Saturday evening as usual (exceptions: the first kathisma is omitted on the eve of Pentecost and on the eves of '''Nativity''', '''Theophany''', and '''Transfiguration''' when those feasts fall on a Sunday).
**Old Testament readings follow the prokeimenon.
*[[Festal Orthros]]
