## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Thessalonians 1:10–2:2

  **Show the text**

  10 when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

  11 To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

  12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you

  2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, and not be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

- Epistle · Theotokos

  Hebrews 9:1–7

  **Show the text**

  1 Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.

  2 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.

  3 After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

  4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

  5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.

  6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

  7 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.
