The Order of Matins for the 5th Thursday of the Great Fast, which is always (unless the celebration of the Annunciation dictate a change) when we sing the Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete.
Many celebrate this as a vigil on the evening of the 5th Wednesday and that is why this is being published now.
It has also become popular in some places to separate the Great Canon from Matins on the 5th Thursday and use it as a devotional service instead of Vespers or Presanctified on the Thursday evening although the origin of this practice is a mystery to me.
