DESCRIPTION:The morning service of the Church is called Matins. It opens wi
 th the reading of six morning psalms and the intoning of the Great Litany.
  After this\, verses of Psalm 118 are sung:\nGod is the Lord and has revea
 led himself unto us.\nBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.\nTh
 ere are hymns on the theme of the particular day. On major feast days\, sp
 ecial praises and psalms are sung\, which on the Lord's Day sing of Christ
 's resurrection from the dead. On major feasts and on Sundays\, the Gospel
  is also read.\nAfter the Gospel there is a long intercessory prayer follo
 wed by a set of hymns and readings called the Canon. These songs are based
  on the Old Testamental canticles and conclude with the song of Mary\, the
  so-called Magnificat (Lk 1:46-55). The Great Doxology is chanted followed
  by the beginning of the Divine Liturgy on Sundays.\nThe Matins service of
  the Church unites the elements of morning psalmody and prayer with medita
 tion on the Biblical canticles\, the Gospel reading\, and the particular t
 heme of the day in the given verses and hymns. The themes of God's revelat
 ion and light are also always central to the morning service of the Church
 .
