The Holy Service of Compline in Greek: Apodipnon & in Slavic:

Povochemiya literally means After Supper Prayers and Psalms that
are read after Vespers and after the evening meal.
Compline is the final Holy Service of the day in our Daily Liturgical Cycle,
which we read before retiring for our nightly rest.
The English word Compline is derived from the Latin word Completorium
for it is the completion of our working day.
The term Compline was first used in this sense about the beginning of the
6th Century by St Benedict in His Rule of Prayer and he also used the verb
complere to signify Compline: ...All having assembled in one place, let
them say Compline...
The Eastern Orthodox Compline has two distinct forms: Small Compline and
Great Compline and, obviously, the two version are quite different in
length.
At Compline whether Small or Great Compline a Canon to our Ever
Blessed Lady Theotokos in the Tone of the Week is normally read and
these Canons are located in the Octeochos the Book of the Eight
Tones.
Service to the Saints and Martyrs according to the Menaion that for one
reason or another cannot be celebrated on the day assigned to them
may be chanted on the nearest convenient day at Compline.
In such cases, the Canon for the Saint or Holy Martyr would be read
together with the Canon of the Ever Blessed Theotokos, followed by he
Stichera (Verses)of the Saint from the Holy Service of Vespers.
There are also particular days such as certain Forefeasts, Afterfeasts and
days during the Pentecostarion - that have special Canons for Compline
that have been composed specifically for them.
The Office of Compline ends with a mutual Asking for Forgiveness.
In some Traditions - most notably among the Russian Orthodox - Evening
Prayers Prayers Before Sleep are read near the end of Compline.
It is an ancient custom that is practised to this day on the Holy Mountain
(Mount Athos) and in other Holy Monasteries, for everyone present at the
end of Compline to venerate the Holy Relics and Icons in the church and
to receive the Priests Blessing.
SMALL COMPLINE:
Small Compline is served on most nights of the year those nights on which
Great Compline is not served.
On the Eves of Sundays and Feasts with All Night Vigils, Compline may be
either read privately or suppressed altogether.
Among the Greeks, who do not normally hold All Night Vigils on Saturday
Evenings, Compline is said as normal.
The Service of Small Compline is composed of
three Psalms: Psalm 50, Psalm 69 and Psalm 142,
the Small Doxology,
the Nicene Creed,
the Canon followed by
Axion Estin - It is truly Meet...1

the Mutual Forgiveness and
Final Blessing by the Priest ends the Holy Service of Small Compline.
After this, there is
a Litany and
the Veneration of Icons and Holy Relics.
GREAT COMPLINE
Great Compline is a Penitential Office, which is served on the following
occasions:
Tuesday and Thursday nights of Cheesefare Week the week before
Great Lent begins.
Monday to Thursday nights of Great Lent
Friday nights of Great Lent2
Monday and Tuesday of Holy Week
Monday to Friday during the lesser Lenten Seasons such as 3
the Nativity Fast,
the Apostles Fast and
the Dormition Fast.
The Eves of certain Great Feasts as a part of the All Night Vigil:
The Nativity of Christ
Theophany
Annunciation
Unlike Small Compline, Great Compline has portions of the Service, which
are chanted by the Choir and during Lent, THE PRAYER OF ST EPHRAIM is
said with Prostrations.4
During the first week of Great Lent, THE GREAT CANON OF ST ANDREW OF CRETE is
divided into four portions and read on Monday to Thursday nights.5
In Greek Prayer Books, a modified form of the Midnight Office is used for
Morning Prayer for laymen, while a modified form of Small Compline is
used for our Evening Prayers.
Great Compline is composed of three sections each beginning with the
Call to Prayer: O Come! Let us worship...

Among the Greek Orthodox, Small Compline is served on every Friday evening of Great
Lent; the Russians, however, serve Great Compline on Fridays, with some modifications
(see n. 7, below). On Friday night of the Fifth Week of Great Lent, the Akathis to the
Theotokos is solemnly chanted, so Small Compline on that night will be either read
privately or suppressed.
3
In some places, Great Compline will only be served on the first night of each of the Lesser
Fasts.
4
Except on Friday night, when most of these parts are read. There are also fewer
Prostrations on Friday night.
5
Except for Wednesday of the Fifth Week. The Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete will
have been read the evening before, and so Small Compline is appointed for that
Wednesday night.

On Monday through Thursday of the First Week of Great Lent, we begin first with Psalm
69, followed by the appropriate section of the Great Canon (in which case, Psalm 69
will be omitted in the Third Part).
Or, if it is the eve of a Great Feast, the Kontakion of the day.
On Great Feasts, the order of Great Compline ends here, and we continue the All-Night
