WHAT DOES LECTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lection

Lection

A lection is a reading from Scripture in Liturgy. The custom of reading the books of Moses in the synagogues on Sabbath was a very ancient one. The addition of lections from the prophetic books had been made afterwards and was in existence at the time of Jesus, as may be gathered from such passages as St Luke 4:16–20, 16:29. This element in synagogue worship was taken over with others into the Christian divine service, see Early Christianity, additions being made to it from the writings of the Apostles and evangelists as the New Testament canon developed. We find traces of such additions within the New Testament itself in such directions as are contained in Colossians 4:16; First Thessalonians 5:27. From the 2nd century onwards references multiply, though the earlier references do not prove the existence of a fixed lectionary or order of lessons, but rather point the other way. Justin Martyr, describing divine worship in the middle of the 2nd century says: On the day called Sunday all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the Apostles, or the writings of the Prophets are read as long as time permits.
