The apostle is also called Paul, who in the days of Earth's life of Jesus Christ did not belong to the number of his students. So the Church recognizes the exceptional merits of the Apostle Paul in the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

The bishop (Greek. Senior priest, head of priests) - a priest belonging to the third, highest degree of priesthood. It has grace to make all the sacraments (including ordination) and lead church life. Each bishop (except for vicaris) manages the diocese. In ancient times, the bishops were divided into the volume of administrative power on the bishops, archbishops and metropolitans, currently these titles are preserved as honored titles. From among the bishops, the local cathedral elects the Patriarch (life), which leads the leadership of the local church's church life (some local churches are headed by Metropolitans or Archbishops). According to the teachings of the Church, the apostolic grace, adopted from Jesus Christ, is transmitted through ordination to the bishops from the most apostolic times and so on. In the church, fertile continuity is carried out. The ordination in the bishop is performed by the Cathedral of the Bishops (there must be at least two applying bishops - the 1st Rule of the Apostles; according to the rules of the Carthaginsky Local Cathedral of 318 - at least three). According to 12 Rules of the Sixth Ecumenical Cathedral (680-681 Constantinople) of the bishop must be celianized, in this church practice it is customary to deliver to the bishops from the monastic clergy.

Currently, biblical songs are read only at the worship services during the Great Post. The first biblical song is the song of the Prophet Moses after the transition of the Jews of the Red (Smem) Sea (ISX, 15; 1-19). The second is the song of Moses (before death): instruction of the Jews and a reminder of the punishment, to whom they subjected themselves, retreating from God (Dev. 32; 1-43).

These songs are preserved only in Greek translations and are absent in the canonical text of the Book of the Prophet Daniel. The ninth - the song of the Blessed Virgin "Majses My Lord" (Lux. 1; 46-55) and the Song of Zechariah about the birth of the Son - John the Baptist (Luke. 1; 68-79). Due to the complexity and severity of the second biblical song, in most canons (except for the Great Canon of St. Andrei Cretsky) it is missing.

This order changes in the days when a vigil vigil is performed (the Village and County are descended), some days of the Great Post, as well as on the eve of the holidays of the Nativity of Christ and Baptism.

Annual liturgical circle - the thematic sequence of worships throughout the year. Movable and fixed annual liturgical circles differ. A fixed annual liturgical circle - associated with a sun calendar - includes the service of stationary two-month and other holidays and everyday celebration of the saints.
