QUESTION:

8/6/2009: Why the Orthodox Churches not included the Book of the Song of Songs in the liturgical readings?Kindly give an answer.

ANSWER:

Not all books are included in the cycle of liturgical readings, as indeed not all Old Testament books are quoted in the New Testament. It seems that the Fathers did not find any suitable or necessary readings in connection with a particular feast or saint. However, Song of Songs is undoubtedly a canonical book of the Holy Scriptures.
