The whole day, rightly kept.
For every day of the year: what the day is, the tone of the week, the fast, the color to vest in, and the appointed readings, computed for your own jurisdiction, on the New Calendar or the Old. The choir knows its music, the altar knows its color, and nothing is forgotten before Saturday night.
The Saturday-night scramble.
Late on Saturday the priest is cross-checking a wall calendar, a jurisdictional ordo, and a well-worn book to be sure of the tone, the readings, and whether tomorrow is a fast. Get it wrong and the choir sings the wrong tone or a fast is broken. This work is ancient and exacting, and it should not rest on one tired person and a stack of paper. Symphonia computes it faithfully for your tradition, so the day is prepared before you sit down.
Weeks ahead, and today at a glance.
Plan the coming weeks at the office, and check today's tone and readings from your pocket.
Faithful to your tradition.
Computed for how you actually pray.
Orthodoxy is one faith kept in many households, and the calendar is where they differ. Choose your jurisdiction and the whole Typikon shifts to match, the New Calendar or the Julian reckoning, Orthros where you say Orthros and Matins where you say Matins, the ranks and readings of your own tradition. It meets your parish where it stands, rather than flattening everyone into one.
The Typikon doesn't sit in a silo.
On the priest’s briefing
Tomorrow’s tone, Eothinon, and fast flow straight into the Priest’s Corner, so the day is ready when you open it.
Feasts fill the calendar
Great feasts and their services land on the one parish calendar, so scheduling starts from the church year itself.
In your people’s pockets
The day’s commemoration and readings can reach your members in Synaxis, so the whole parish keeps the day together.
The honest answers.
Choose your jurisdiction. Antiochian, Greek (GOARCH), and OCA parishes get their own published lectionary. ROCOR, Serbian, Romanian, and other parishes follow the OCA cycle, on the New Calendar or the Old.
The plan lays out each day’s rank, tone, fasting, vestment color, and appointed Epistle, Gospel, and Old Testament readings, so the choir and clergy know exactly what the day calls for. It is a guide to the day, gathered in one place.
Both. The New Calendar for those who keep it, and the Julian reckoning for ROCOR and Serbian parishes, so the dates and feasts land exactly where your community expects them.
Of course. The living Typikon is a faithful, well-prepared starting point, not a ruling. Local practice and a rector’s judgment always come first; the tool simply makes sure nothing is forgotten.
Yes. The Fasting Kitchen has a recipe box for your parish beside the catalog. Staff who write lessons and texts can add, edit, and remove recipes, each marked Strict, Oil & Wine, Fish, or Festal. Parishioners see them in My Parish. The name of the person who shared a recipe stays with the staff unless you choose to show it.
Let the day be prepared for you.
