It reckons old calendar, so Julian Oct 31 is Gregorian +Nov 13. + +**ROCOR commemorates him and gives him no proper readings.** The day lists "New +Hieromartyr Priest John Kochurov of Chicago and St. Petersburg (1917)" among a +dozen commemorations, and its scripture line is the plain daily cycle for the +24th week after Pentecost -- `1 Thess 5:9-13, 24-28` / `Luke 11:23-26`. + +A control rules out the obvious objection that the page simply does not print +propers: Gregorian Nov 26 2026, Julian Nov 13, St John Chrysostom, lists +`John 10:1-9` as Matins Gospel and `Heb 7:26-8:2` / `John 10:9-16` each labelled +"St. John". The format shows propers, with their service and attribution, when +they exist. + +So the hypothesis was backwards. Kochurov's three readings are OCA's -- oca.org +gives `Heb 13:7-16`, `Luke 12:32-40` and `John 10:9-16`, all labelled for him -- +and ROCOR is the tradition that has none. This app's Slavic data is compiled +from oca.org and follows it here, which is correct and needs no change. + +It is worth recording as a genuine OCA/ROCOR divergence, since `tradition` has +only `slavic`, `greek` and `common` and no axis to express one. Oct 31 is a +known instance if that axis is ever added. + +One thing this does settle retrospectively: the earlier "fix" that deleted +Kochurov's Epistle and repointed his Gospel would have moved this app toward +ROCOR practice by accident, away from its own documented source. The +all-services harvest caught it, and this check confirms the restore was right.
