Line 8: The Sunday of each week has a special commemoration, named for the [[Gospel (liturgy)\|Gospel reading]] assigned to that day. Certain other weekdays have special commemorations of their own. The entire cycle revolves around Pascha. The weeks before Pascha end on Sunday, i.e., the Week of the Prodigal Son begins on the Monday that follows the Publican and the Pharisee. This is because everything in the Lenten period is anticipatory of Pascha. Starting on Pascha, the weeks again begin on Sunday, i.e., Thomas Week begins on the Sunday of St. Thomas. While the Pentecostarion closes after All Saints Sunday, the Paschal cycle continues throughout the ~~entire~~ year, until the beginning of the next Pre-Lenten period. The [[Octoechos (liturgy)\|Tone of the Week]], the [[Epistle]] and [[Gospel (liturgy)\|Gospel]] readings at the [[Divine Liturgy]], and the 11 [[Matins Gospels]] with their accompanying hymns are dependent on it. ==Pre-Lent==
