'''Kyriopascha''' ("The Lord's Pascha") is the rare concurrence of the [[Great Feast]] of the [[Annunciation]] ([[March 25]]) with [[Pascha]]. It is an especially festive event, including complex [[rubrics]] for its liturgical celebration.
On Kyriopascha, the [[polyeleos]] normally appointed for the Annunciation is omitted, the [[canon]] of Annunciation is sung together with the Paschal canon during [[Orthros]], and the Gospel of the Annunciation is read after the sixth ode of the canon. On the remaining days of [[Bright Week]] the usual Paschal services for these days are performed in combination with the service for the Annunciation: the [[litia]] and [[artoklasia]] at [[Vespers]], and the [[polyeleos]], [[megalynarion]], and Gospel reading at Orthros.
