According to Archdiocesan instruction given by Bishop Nikodhim, all of the parishes in the Albanian Archdiocese are directed to follow “Byzantine practice“ for the readings of the lectionary for Sunday liturgy.  A lectionary is a book that contains the Scripture readings for each day of the year.

Bishop Nikodhim notes that the same readings are used by the Church of Albania.

The directed sequence of readings differs from the published calendar that we have been using in our parish.
