The Canonical
Day of the Order of the Grey Nuns

Canonical
candle-marks are divisions of time, developed by the Christian
Church on Earth, serving as increments between the prescribed
prayers of the daily round. Canonical candle-marks may also be
called Offices. The Divine Office is the official set of daily
prayers prescribed by the Church to be recited at the canonical
candle-marks by religious orders. It is also called the Liturgy of
the Candle-marks and consists primarily of psalms, supplemented by
hymns and readings.

Within the
order of Grey Nuns the sisters worship three major candle-marks and
four minor candle-marks.

Major – The
Officium Lectionis (Office of Leadings), also called Matins: Major
– Lauds (Early Morning Prayer): Minor – Terce (Mid Morning Prayer):
Minor – Sext (Midday Prayer): Minor – Noce (Mid Afternoon Prayer):
Major – Vespers (Evening Prayer): Minor – Compline (Night

A Rybakian year
is ten months long. There are only two seasons, summer and winter.
The year begins with Dunrhed, the first month of summer because
tradition states that this was the month of landing. There are four
weeks, each ten days long, in a Rybakian month. A week is called a
tenday.
