                         The Lectionary
The Lectionary is an ordered system for reading the Holy Scriptures at the Eucharist and the Daily Offices. It is usually presented in the form of a table of references for the psalms and readings for the various days of the liturgical year, although it may be a separate book containing the actual texts of the readings.
The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) contains two lectionaries: The eucharistic lectionary (BCP, pp. 887-931), and the Daily Office lectionary (BCP, pp. 933-1001). Another book, Lesser Feasts and Fasts, contains a lectionary for weekdays in Advent, Christmastide, Lent, and Easter; and for lesser feasts during the church year. The lectionary found in the Book of Common Prayer is based on the lectionary developed in the Roman Catholic Church following the second Vatican Council in the 1960s.
