Biblical narrative
The Gospels tell some of the events that occurred on the day of the Biblical Holy Monday. Some of the most notable and recognizable of these were the cursing of the fig tree (Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse), the questioning of Jesus' authority (Шаблон:Bibleverse), the Cleansing of the Temple and some diverse parables, depending on which Gospel is read.

In the Revised Common Lectionary, which is used by the Anglican Communion, Methodist Churches, Lutheran Churches, Old Catholic Churches and Reformed Churches,[1] the Scripture lessons are Шаблон:Bibleverse (First Reading), Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb (Psalm), Шаблон:Bibleverse (Second Reading), and Шаблон:Bibleverse, (Gospel Reading).[2]

Eastern Christianity
In the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches that follow the Byzantine Rite, this day is referred to as Great and Holy Monday, or Great Monday. On this day the Church commemorates the withering of the fruitless fig tree (Шаблон:Bibleverse), a symbol of judgement that will befall those who do not bring forth the fruits of repentance.[4] The hymns on this day also recall Joseph, the son of Jacob, whose innocent suffering at the hand of his brethren (Шаблон:Bibleverse), and false accusation (Шаблон:Bibleverse-Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb) are a type (foreshadowing) of the Passion of Christ.[4]
The day begins liturgically with Vespers on Palm Sunday night, repeating some of the same stichera (hymns) from the Praises of the All Night Vigil the evening before. At Small Compline a Triode (Canon composed of three Odes), written by St. Andrew of Crete is chanted.
The Matins service for Monday through Wednesday of Holy Week is known as the Bridegroom Service[5] or Bridegroom Prayer in the Greek Orthodox Church, because of their theme of Christ as the Bridegroom of the Church, a theme expressed in the troparion that is solemnly chanted near the beginning of the service.
On these days, an icon of "Christ the Bridegroom" is placed on an analogion in the center of the temple, portraying Jesus wearing the purple robe of mockery and crowned with a crown of thorns (see Instruments of the Passion). The Matins Gospel read on this day is from the Gospel of Matthew Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb). The canon at Matins has only three odes in it (a triode), and was composed by St. Cosmas of Maiuma.
The four Gospels are divided and read in their entirety at the Little Hours (Third Hour, Sixth Hour and Ninth Hour) during the course of the first three days of Holy Week, halting at Шаблон:Bibleverse. There are various methods of dividing the Gospels, but the most common is:Шаблон:Sfn
- Holy and Great Monday
- Third Hour—The first half of Matthew
- Sixth Hour—The second half of Matthew
- Ninth Hour—The first half of Mark
At the Sixth Hour there is a reading from the Book of Ezekiel Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb
At the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, some of the stichera from the previous night's Matins (Lauds and the Aposticha) are repeated at Lord, I have cried (see Vespers). There are two Old Testament readings: Шаблон:Bibleverse and Шаблон:Bibleverse. There is no Epistle reading, but there is a Gospel reading from Шаблон:Bibleverse.
