Changes

The Gospel readings for divine liturgy are normally found in a [[Gospel Book]] (''Evangélion'') and an [[Epistle|Epistle Book]] (''Apostól''). There are differences in the precise arrangement of these books between the various national churches. In the Byzantine practice, the readings are in the form of [[pericope]]s (selections from scripture containing only the portion actually chanted during the service), and are arranged according to the order in which they occur in the church year, beginning with the Sunday of [[Pascha]] (Easter), and continuing throughout the entire year, concluding with [[Holy Week]]. Then follows a section of readings for the commemorations of [[Saints]] and readings for special occasions ([[Baptism]], [[Funeral]], etc.). In the Slavic practice, the biblical books are reproduced in their entirety and arranged in the canonical order in which they appear in the [[Bible]].
