If there is a dismissal hymn for a celebrated Saint (rather than repeating the Resurrectional Apolytikion), and therefore the Theotokion is in the mode of the Saint’s hymn rather than the mode of the week, the GOA puts the 1st Theotokion of the mode of the week somewhere else…Read more

St. Theodotus it should be both times in my original post.

I think I have finally narrowed it down to one last question. Is the “Sessional Hymn” for St. Theodosus in the Menaion, between the 3rd and 4th odes of the canon, the same as the “Poetic Kathisma” (also sometimes called “Sessional”)? If so, does it…Read more

I’m on the west coast, and our Wednesday Vespers conflicts with the usual office hours. If the re-scheduled one happened to be on a non-Wednesday, it would be a nice bonus for me!

Alternatively, earlier in the day (afternoon Pacific time)…Read more

For Great Vespers, if the Saint of the Day has a Doxasticon, then we chant the Resurrectional Stichera to 6 and the Prosomia for the Saint to 4. If the Saint has a Doxasticon but only 3 Stichera, then I assume we would go back to 7 Resurrectional? Thank you!

Thank you for that. My own initial thought was much simpler, but I will post it anyway.

While the typikon has changed historically, I wince at the idea of change now. The changes that we learned about in the lesson were at least in some part made in order to reach for a deeper level of worship (the love of…Read more

We use the Digital Chant Stand for most of our services. Some others, such as Holy Week, are chanted from printed service books. Still, I would like to learn how the services are put together, primarily so that I have a better understanding of what we are…Read more
