The Prokeimenon!
14th June 2006, 06:21 PM
A Prokeimenon is a short Psalm verse chanted before the reading of the Epistle during the Liturgy, the Gospel during Orthros, or the Old Testament readings during Vespers.
An Antiphon is also a Psalm verse but is chanted at the beginning of the Liturgy (there are 3 "Antiphons" at the beginning of Liturgy)
