===Royal Hours=== [[File:Service of the Royal Hours - Great Friday -- Annunciation, Toronto, 2014.JPG|right|thumb|Vigil during the Service of the Royal Hours]] {{main|Royal Hours}} The next day, in the forenoon on Friday, all gather again to pray the '''''Royal Hours''''',<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSgOFbH-fQ |title=Royal Hours |website=[[YouTube]] |date=26 April 2019 |access-date=30 April 2019 |archive-date=2 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002232857/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSgOFbH-fQ |url-status=live }}</ref> a special expanded celebration of the [[Little Hours]] (including the First Hour, [[Third Hour]], [[Sext|Sixth Hour]], [[Ninth Hour]] and [[Typica]]) with the addition of scripture readings ([[Old Testament]], [[Epistle]] and Gospel) and hymns about the Crucifixion at each of the Hours (some of the material from the previous night is repeated). This is somewhat more festive in character, and derives its name of "Royal" from both the fact that the Hours are served with more solemnity than normal, commemorating Christ the King who humbled himself for the salvation of mankind, and also from the fact that this service was in the past attended by the Emperor and his court.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What happened on Good Friday?
