## What is HOY?

"HOY" is a free application that utilizes various Orthodox liturgical books to automatically organize daily services and prayers, including Vespers, Compline, Divine Liturgy, and other prayers, following the order of the Jerusalem Orthodox Church Typikon. The current version relies on Arabic texts and follows the Eastern calendar used in all Jerusalem churches. It caters to clergy, chanters, and all believers, offering user-friendly options. The content is regularly enriched.

The "HOY" app presents a daily icon of a saint or feast day along with different daily readings and prayers. In addition to the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, it includes numerous spiritual books from the writings of the Holy Fathers. This application was built, developed, and designed by the brothers of "Hesen Mariam" in our village, Kfar Yasif. We hope that this blessed work serves the children of the church, including priests, chanters, servers, and all believers.

The application includes:

    - Daily Orthodox prayers for personal prayer and within the church community.
    - The Holy Bible without the need for an internet connection.
    - Spiritual books.
    - Spiritual hymns and chants.
    - Daily saints' memorials with information about each saint.
    - Annual church calendar according to the Eastern calendar.
    - Announcements related to the youth of "Hesen Mariam" and Sunday schools.
