QUESTION ABOUT HOURS OF BRIGHT WEEK

[Elpidophoros]

This Pascha,I attended the middle night anastasimos Orthros and Divine Litugy in a greek cathedral,but the liturgy was followed the Orthros,betwwen them there were nothing special service(as greeks usually do).
For the Bright Monday,I attended Orthros and Liturgy in a chapel ,the celebrant was a traditionalist athonite elder,but the Paschal Hours also were omitted.
And then,I found in the service book,for each hour,should to repeat 3 times the Paschal Hour office,so I suppose between Orthros and Litury,the Paschal office should be read 9 times!(3for the First,3 for the Third and 3 for the Sixth Hour!!!!) Ido not know if any parish or monastery do this(the Paschal Hour is not long ,but to repeat it 9 times sounds so boring......)
Maybe someone can tell me how about in your own parish (especially in the non-greek jurisdications)?

HOURS OF EASTER WEEK

Note that from Sunday of Pascha until the following Saturday the Hours, Compline and the Midnight Office are recited as follows.
After the blessing by the Priest:

Christ has risen from the dead, by death he has trampled on death, and to those in the graves given life. (x3)

Then
Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship your Cross, O Christ, and we hymn and glorify your holy Resurrection. For you are our God, we know no other but you, we name you by name. Come all the faithful, let us worship the holy Resurrection of Christ; for behold through the Cross, joy has come in all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we hymn his Resurrection. For having endured the Cross for us, he has destroyed death by death. (x3)

When those who were with Mary came, anticipating the dawn, and found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, they heard from the Angel, ‘Why do you seek among the dead, as though he were mortal, the One who exists in everlasting light. See the grave clothes. Run and proclaim to the world that the Lord has been raised, and has put death to death; for he is the Son of God, who saves the human race.

Though you descended into the tomb, O Immortal, yet you destroyed the power of Hades; and you arose as victor, O Christ God, calling to the Myrrh-bearing women: Rejoice! and giving peace to your Apostles, O you who grant resurrection to the fallen.

With your body, O Christ, you were in the tomb, with your soul in Hell as God, in Paradise with the Thief, on the throne with Father and the Spirit, filling all things, yet yourself uncircumscribed.

Glory.

Your tomb, O Christ, has been declared bearer of life, lovelier than Paradise, brighter than any kingly bridal chamber, the source of our resurrection.

Both now. Theotokion.

Rejoice, divine and hallowed dwelling of the Most High, for through you, Mother of God, joy has been given to those who cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, spotless Lady!’

Then Lord, have mercy color=red. [/color]Glory, Both now.

Greater in honour than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim. Without corruption you gave birth to God the Word; truly the Mother of God, we magnify you.

Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, have mercy on us.

Christ has risen from the dead, by death he has trampled on death, and to those in the graves given life. color=red[/color]

This office is repeated three times for each Hour, and at Compline and the Midnight Office.
At Compline after Through the prayers we add the following

Prayer of Saint Basil the Great

Blessed are you, Master almighty, who have given light to the day by the light of the sun and made the night bright with rays of fire, who have granted us to pass through the length of the day and draw near to the beginnings of the night. Hearken to our entreaty and that of all your people, and forgive all of us our sins voluntary and involuntary and send down the multitude of your mercy and acts of compassion upon your inheritance. Wall us about with your holy Angels. Arm us with the weapons of your justice. Surround us with the rampart of your truth. Guard us with your power. Deliver us from every calamity and every assault of the adversary. Grant us that the present evening with the coming night may be perfect, holy, peaceful, sinless, without stumbling, and dreamless and likewise all the days of our life; at the prayers of the holy Mother of God and of all the Saints who have been well pleasing to you since time began. Amen.

Christ has risen from the dead, by death he has trampled on death, and to those in the graves given life. (x3)

Dear Elpidophoros,

The (x3) at the end just means to repeat the Paschal Troparion 3 times, not the complete hour 3 times, unless it was right after Paschal Matins and you were doing the 1st, 3rd & 6th Hours right before the Paschal Liturgy.

[GOCPriestMark]

As Fr. Dcn. Nicholai said, it is only those verses with the 3x after them that are repeated, not the whole 'hour' 3 times for each of the 'offices/hours' 1st, 3rd, 6th, etc, as you had written previously.

[Elpidophoros]

Oh,NOoooooo!!!!
My Dear Fathers,I know how poor is my english,but in the rubric says:
"This office is repeated three times for each Hour, and at Compline and the Midnight Office." :shock:
This is why I understood that for each hour(First,Third,Sixth.....)should read the whole office three times.
And I checked today morning from the Greek Horologion,clearly this rubric is faithful translated from the greek prototype.

[尼古拉前执事]

Dear Elpidophoros, you are absolutely correct, I looked in my Greek Horologion and it said the exact same thing in the rubrics.
