Great Vespers is conducted in the evening on Saturdays and on the eve of certain feasts, and is comprised of chanting and prayer. This is an excellent service to attend for those new to Orthodoxy. Please view our calendar for the most up-to-date times for Vespers.
Matins, or Orthros (both of which mean "morning" in Latin and Greek, respectively), is often conducted in the early morning, and is so done before Divine Liturgy within the Orthodox Church. It can also be held as part of all-night vigils during great feasts. Please view our calendar for the the most up-to-date times for Matins.
The Divine Liturgy, conducted on Sundays, is the primary worship service within the Church. During Divine Liturgy, a homily is delivered by the priest, and the Eucharist is partaken of by those baptized or chrismated in the Church.
