Day is an ambiguous concept. "Day" can be understood as the morning of the next day, or as lunchtime, that is, noon. In the usual sense, noon starts at 12 o'clock and ends at 17, at which time it is not even recommended to sunbathe on hot days. But the beginning of a new day for everyone varies within different limits.
What time do you like to start your day? On weekdays, little depends on your desire, because if you need to get up at 6, despite the drowsiness, you will. What about the weekend? Here, most likely, the day starts at different times, depending on when you wake up.
In fact, getting up at 6-8 in the morning is one of the best options for starting the day. According to doctors, people who get up at this time feel the maximum surge of strength and energy, which affects, first of all, the effectiveness of the coming day and the health of the whole organism. But it is also important to take into account that, ideally, sleep should last at least 8 hours, so you will have to go to bed much earlier. Therefore, if you cannot get up before 9 in the morning, then you should not be upset, because this also has its advantages. For example, you go to bed around 12 o'clock at night, which means that you manage to do a lot of important things in the evening, because most of the grandiose ideas come to some people at this particular time of day.
Nowadays, getting up, especially on weekends, at a certain time is quite difficult, moreover, we must not forget that there are people related to owls who can fall asleep only after 12 o'clock at night. Hustle and bustle, a large number of tasks, a tendency to irregular working hours, unstable weather - all this leads to the fact that we can not always manage the beginning of our own day. Of course, it is best to make it a rule not to wake up later than 11-12 hours, since doctors say that the chances of leading a healthy and active lifestyle with this regime are much less. There are many techniques for stabilizing the start time of your day. For example, you can train yourself to fall asleep and wake up at the same time, initially by using an alarm clock.
Quite a relevant question in this topic is "What is the best way to start your day?" First of all, I would like to note that, despite all the rules, it is best to start your day with a good sleep, because this is the most important thing for the successful implementation of further affairs. Therefore, if you need to sacrifice evening chores for this, do not doubt that it will be worth it. Morning exercises are also an integral part of a successful day. If you have the opportunity to jog in the morning, then you will fill your body with even more energy and wakefulness.
It is necessary to start your day with positive emotions, because, as you know, we ourselves model our reality. But this is not so easy to do as it might seem at first glance. We are all people, and we tend to fall asleep with numerous worries about a particular situation, and if there is still a depressive state, then in the morning you can generally wake up with a "heavy head". And if you wake up in a bad mood, then consider that the whole day will go awry. There is a unique way to help you get in a good mood and contribute to a good day. First, before you go to bed, try to think over the problems and things that have accumulated during the day in order to lie down, as they say, with an "empty head." With your eyes closed, imagine in great detail your tomorrow as you would like it to be. And that's all, after that you can fall asleep. From the first time, this technique does not always work, it is very important to emotionally tune in at the time of visualization.
Finally, I want to give an example from personal experience. I used to have a hard time waking up on weekends around 11-12 hours, and sometimes even later. Recently, I began to accustom myself to get up no later than 10, I regularly do exercises and try to meet the beginning of the day in a good mood. Surprisingly, the strength and desire to do something appeared much more. Happy days!

Probably, you wanted to ask: "at what time"? In the place where you live - about morning and night - the answer can be found in the calendar. What about the day ?? ? I think every person's day starts at a different time. And this is not about the calendar. After all, a day is an active life activity of a person, right? My day is part of the night when I work, part of the evening when I work, and the time when the birds are singing merrily. And birds, as you know, sing most cheerfully at dawn, just at that time, which is called morning.

Morning, I think at 4. Day at 12. Night at 00.
"What time" is ALWAYS written separately.
Typical mistake
But you just want to write "how much", isn't it? This desire is explained by the fact that in writing we, as a rule, do not think about what part of speech this or that word is. And if we try to determine morphological properties, it is most often mistaken.
The course of our reasoning looks something like this: at the end there is an "o", apparently, this is an adverb, but if it was formed from a numeral, then it must be written together with a preposition (by analogy with "five times", "six times", etc.) ). And sometimes we think about words like "first", "second", and let the hyphen sneak into the spelling of our combination. Well, this is no good at all.
However, no matter how long we indulge in thought, the fact remains: we still have two words... Let's consider each of them separately.
"Vo" is nothing more than an excuse... It looks, perhaps, somewhat unusual, but in fact it is just a kind of familiar preposition "in". The letter "o" is added to it when the next word begins with a consonant.
But the second word will be more difficult. "How much" can be a pronominal adverb, and a union or interrogative word, and a numeral name... The Russian language is rich and unpredictable - who would doubt that!
Morpheme parsing
The analysis of the combination under the number 2 we are investigating is as follows:
- "Vo" is a preposition, "s" is a prefix, "-kol-" is a root, "-k-" is a suffix, "-o" is an ending.
Why didn't two words become one?
It would seem that the Russian language is characterized by the formation of neologisms by merging two, less often more words. However, not in our case. From what?
Take, for example, the words "on time" and "at all" - these are adverbs, and therefore write them correctly together. Although they, it happens, are written separately: "at lunch time", "breaking bad." But in these examples they no longer appear as adverbs, but as a preposition with a word, hence the separate spelling.
There is another explanation: in "on time" and "at all" the stress falls on "in", which is why this preposition turned into a prefix. But this did not happen with our combination, which is why it is written in two words.
In addition, "what time" is often a question word. Accordingly, more complex adverb spelling rules cannot be followed here.
And one more reasoning. Since this is an interrogative combination, why not remember others like it, say, "in what", "in what". They are clearly correct to write separately, and, mind you, no one is trying to argue with this. Actually, is our situation very different from this?
Sample sentences
- What time will you pick me up tomorrow? (What time?)
- How much would you estimate the cost of the damage? (How much?)
- How many times is Jupiter larger than Earth?
- How old did your child go to school?
By the way, negation should be written as follows: "not at all."
So, now you know the spelling of this combination. We hope you don’t try to splic it together, and the hyphen will not creep in there either.
Liturgy is the main Church service. What time does the liturgy begin and how long does it last? Why and when does the liturgy take place in the evening or at night?
Below is the main thing that you need to know about the time and duration of the Liturgy in Orthodox churches.
Liturgy takes place in every church
The Divine Liturgy is the central service, since during it the Sacrament of the Eucharist and the sacrament take place (or rather, the Liturgy itself accompanies these Sacraments). All other services in one way or another precede the Liturgy - although they can be held the night before or even earlier.
Liturgy takes place at least every Sunday
The regularity of services depends on the temple: the place where the temple is located and the number of parishioners. In other words, the Liturgy is held in the church as often as it really needs.

How long is the liturgy in the church?
The length of the liturgy may vary depending on the day or church. But this does not mean that the composition of the service is changing in some radical way. For example, on especially solemn days, some of the prayers, which are sometimes recited by the reader, are sung in chorus this time.
In addition, the length of the liturgy can be influenced by such seemingly insignificant factors as the speed with which the priest and deacon serve: one leads the services faster, the other slower, one reads the Gospel at one pace, the other more measured. ... Etc.
But speaking in general terms, on days the Liturgy lasts longer than on ordinary days - sometimes up to two hours.
On Easter night or Christmas Liturgy lasts no longer than usual, but the night service itself takes many hours - since the Liturgy is preceded by a long All-night vigil.

What time does the morning church service start?
On the one hand, the answer to this question is most often the same as to the question: "What time does the Liturgy begin," since in almost all non-monastic churches the only morning service is the Liturgy.
Another thing is that in some churches (where there is only one priest) sometimes it is not during the service, but in front of it, and therefore those who want to confess or receive communion come earlier.
But in monasteries, morning services begin much earlier, since a full daily circle of services is held there.
For example, before the liturgy in monasteries, the Hours are necessarily read (this is a small service that includes the recitation of certain prayers and individual psalms), and on most days there is also a midnight office, which can start at 6 am or earlier.
In addition, the charter of some monasteries also presupposes, for example, a daily morning reading of akathists, and a prayer rule that will also take place in the temple. Therefore, in some monasteries, morning services, in fact, stretch out for several hours, and the Liturgy, as expected, crowns this cycle.
This does not mean that laymen taking communion need to be present at all monastic services - they are intended primarily for the inhabitants of the monastery (monks, novices and laborers). The main thing is to come to the beginning of the Liturgy.
What time does the evening service in the church begin
As in the case of morning services, the specific time for the beginning of the evening service is determined by the charter of the temple or monastery (they can always be found either on the website or on the doors of the temple). As a rule, evening worship begins between 4 pm and 6 pm.
The service itself, depending on the day or the foundations of a particular church, lasts from one and a half hours to three. In monasteries on solemn days, evening services can go on much longer.
Evening worship is required for those who are going to receive the Holy Communion the next morning. This is due to the fact that the Church has adopted a daily circle of services, which begins in the evening, and the morning Liturgy crowns it.
Read this and other posts in our group in
Church services or, in popular words, church services are the main events for which the temples are intended. According to the Orthodox tradition, daily, morning and evening rituals are performed in them. And each of these ministries consists of 3 types of services, which are combined in a daily circle:
- evening - from Vespers, Compline and the Ninth Hour;
- morning - from matins, first hour and midnight;
- daytime - from the Divine Liturgy and the third and sixth hours.
Thus, the daily circle includes nine services..
Service features
In Orthodox ministries, a lot has been borrowed from the Old Testament times. For example, the beginning of a new day is usually considered not midnight, but 6 pm, which is the reason for Vespers, the first service of the daily circle. It recalls the main events of the sacred history of the Old Testament; we are talking about the creation of the world, the fall of the forefathers, the ministry of the prophets and the Mosaic legislation, and Christians offer thanks to the Lord for the new day they lived.
After that, according to the Charter of the church, it is necessary to serve Compline - public prayers for the coming sleep, which speak of the descent of Christ into hell and the liberation of the righteous from it.
At midnight, the 3rd service is supposed to be performed - midnight. This ministry is conducted with the aim of reminding about the Last Judgment and the Second Coming of the Savior.
The morning service in the Orthodox Church (Matins) is one of the longest services. It is dedicated to the events and circumstances of the Savior's earthly life and consists of many prayers of repentance and thanksgiving.
The first hour is done at about 7 o'clock in the morning. This is a short service about Jesus' presence at the trial of the high priest Caiaphas.
The third hour passes at 9 o'clock in the morning. At this time, the events that took place in the upper room of Zion are recalled, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, and the Savior received the death sentence in Pilate's praetorium.
The sixth hour is held at noon. This service is about the time of the crucifixion of the Lord. Do not confuse it with the ninth hour - the service of His death on the cross, which is performed at three in the afternoon.
The main divine service and a kind of center of this daily circle is considered to be the Divine Liturgy or Mass, a distinctive feature of which from other services is the ability, in addition to memories of God and the earthly life of our Savior, to unite with Him in reality, participating in the sacrament of Communion. The time of this liturgy is from 6 to 9 o'clock until noon before dinner, which is why it was given its second name.
Changes in the conduct of services
Modern practice of worship has introduced some changes to the prescription of the Rite. And today, Compline is held only during the period of Great Lent, and midnight is held once during the year, on the eve of Easter. Even less often, the ninth hour passes, and the remaining 6 services of the daily circle are combined into 2 groups of 3 services each.
The evening service in the church takes place with a special sequence: Christians serve Vespers, Matins and the first hour. Before holidays and Sundays, these services are combined into one, which is called an all-night vigil, that is, it implies long night prayers until dawn, conducted in antiquity. This service lasts 2-4 hours in parishes and from 3 to 6 hours in monasteries.
The morning service in the church differs from past times by the successive services of the third, sixth hours and mass.
It is also important to note the holding of early and late Liturgy in churches where there is a greater coming of Christians. It is customary to perform such services on holidays and Sundays. Both liturgies are preceded by the reading of the hours.
There are days when the morning service in the church and the liturgy are not held. For example, on the Friday of Holy Week. In the morning of this day, a short succession of pictorials takes place. This service consists of several hymns and, as it were, depicts the liturgy; however, this service has not received the status of independent service.
Divine services also include various sacraments, rituals, reading akathists in churches, communal readings of evening and morning prayers and rules for Holy Communion.
In addition, services are performed in the churches according to the needs of the parishioners - trebias. For example: Wedding, Baptism, funeral services, prayer services and others.
In each church, cathedral or temple, the service hours are set differently, therefore, in order to obtain information about the conduct of any service, the clergy recommend that you find out the timetable drawn up by a specific spiritual institution.
And those who is unfamiliar with him, you can adhere to the following time intervals:
- from 6 to 8 and from 9 to 11 in the morning - early and late morning services;
- from 4 pm to 6 pm - evening and all-night service;
- during the day - a festive service, but it is better to specify the time of its holding.
All services are usually performed in the church and only by clergymen, and the faithful parishioners participate in them by singing and praying.
Christian holidays
Christian holidays are divided into two types: rolling and non-rolling; they are also called twelve-year holidays. In order not to miss out on services regarding them, it is important to know the dates.
Not rolling
Carrying over, for 2018
- April 1 - Palm Sunday.
- April 8 - Easter.
- May 17 - Ascension of the Lord.
- May 27 - Pentecost or Holy Trinity.
The duration of church services on holidays differs from each other. Basically, it depends on the holiday itself, the performance of the service, the duration of the sermon and the number of participants and confessors.
If for some reason you are late or do not come to the service, no one will blame you, because it is not so important what time it starts and how long it will last, it is much more important that your arrival and participation are sincere.
Preparing for the Sunday Rite
If you decide to come to the temple on Sunday, then you should prepare for this. The Sunday morning service is the strongest, it is carried out for the purpose of communion. It happens as follows: the priest gives you the body of Christ and his blood in a piece of bread and a sip of wine. Prepare for this the event needs at least 2 days in advance.
- You should fast on Friday and Saturday: remove fatty foods, alcohol from the diet, exclude marital intimacy, do not swear, do not offend anyone and do not be offended yourself.
- The day before communion, read 3 canons, namely: penitent to Jesus Christ, prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos and to the Guardian Angel, as well as the 35th Follow-up to Holy Communion. It will take about an hour.
- Read a prayer for the coming dream.
- Do not eat, smoke, or drink after midnight.
How to behave during the sacrament
In order not to miss the beginning of the service in the church on Sunday, you must arrive at the church in advance, at about 7.30. Until that time, do not eat or smoke. There is a specific procedure for visiting.
After the sacrament, in no case are you eager to receive what you want. That is, to get high and so on, do not defile the sacrament. It is recommended to know when to stop in everything and read grace-filled prayers for several days, so as not to defile this divine service.
The need to visit the temple
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who came to earth for us, founded the Church, where everything necessary to this day is present and invisible that is given to us for eternal life. Where “invisible Heavenly Powers serve for us”, - it is said in Orthodox hymns, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them” - it is written in the Gospel (chapter 18, verse 20, the Gospel of Matthew), - so said the Lord to the apostles and all who believe in Him, therefore invisible presence of Christ during services in the temple, people lose if they do not come there.
An even greater sin is committed by parents who do not care about serving the Lord for their children. Let us recall the words of our Savior from the Scriptures: "Let your children go and do not hinder them from coming to Me, for for them there is the Kingdom of Heaven." The Lord also tells us: “Man shall not live by bread, but by every word that proceeds from God's mouth” (chapter 4, verse 4 and chapter 19, verse 14, the same Gospel of Matthew).
Spiritual food is also necessary for the human soul, as well as bodily food to maintain strength. And where will a person hear God's word, if not in the temple? After all, there, among those who believe in him, the Lord himself dwells. After all, it is there that the teaching of the apostles and prophets who spoke and predicted by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, there is the teaching of Christ Himself, which is the true Life, Wisdom, Way and Light, which enlightens every parishioner who comes into the world. The temple is heaven on our earth.
The services that are performed in it, according to the Lord, are the works of angels. Through teaching in a church, temple, or cathedral, Christians receive God's blessing to help them succeed in good deeds and undertakings.
“You will hear the ringing of the church bell calling for prayer, and your conscience will tell you that you need to go to the house of the Lord. Go and put aside, if you can, all sorts of things aside and hurry to God's church "- advises Theophan the Recluse, saint of Orthodoxy, -" Know that your Guardian Angel is calling you under the roof of the house of the Lord; it is he, your celestial, who reminds you of the earthly Heaven, so that you can consecrate your soul there by your grace of Christ and delight your heart with heavenly consolation; and - who knows how it will be? - maybe he calls you there also in order to ward off temptation from you, which cannot be avoided, because if you stay at home you will not hide under the canopy of the house of the Lord from great danger ... ”.
The Christian in the church learns the Heavenly wisdom that the Son of God brings to earth. He learns the details of the life of his Savior, and gets acquainted with the teachings and lives of the saints of God, and takes part in church prayer. And conciliar prayer is a great power! And there are examples of this in history. When the apostles were waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit, they were in prayer with one accord. Therefore, in the church, in the depths of our souls, we expect the Holy Spirit to come to us. This happens, but only if we do not create obstacles for this. For example, lack of openness of heart can hinder parishioners from connecting believers when reading prayers.
In our time, unfortunately, this happens quite often, since believers behave incorrectly, including in the temple, and the reason for this is ignorance of the truth of the Lord. The Lord knows both our thoughts and feelings. He will not leave a sincere believer in him, as well as a person in need of communion and repentance, therefore the doors of God's house are always open for parishioners.
