Adding odes 1 and 3 to the standard GOA cut

[Jamie Tarasidis]

We talked about this in office hours a couple of weeks ago, but I need a little review. If we usually do the standard GOA cut and just want to add in odes 1 and 3, do we basically just add them in after the anavathmoi and prokeimenon, then have a little litany, then mid-ode kathisma, then just start reading the kontakion, oikos, synaxarion and continue as we usually would, to the end?

Correct: You would start chanting the canon immediately after the prokeimenon. After the third ode, little litany and mid-ode kathisma. I have seen in Greece yet another little litany after the mid-ode kathisma, since there is supposed to be one after the end of the 6th ode. It’s your call as to whether you want to include it or not.
