The Psalter
Twenty kathismata, the way the Church reads them.
The Psalter is read through once a week in church, twice a week in Great Lent. Each kathisma is three stases; between them, Glory, Alleluia, Lord have mercy. The Septuagint numbering is the Church's own.
Appointed for Tuesday
At Vespers, kathisma VI. At Matins, VII and VIII.
All twenty
