The update was in the 2022 Imerologion. I will look for a copy of it.

A link to “Crown of the Year” is here. Unfortunately, it does not exist in English.

Due to an illness in my family, I will not be able to attend the lecture tonight. However, Dina Marinakos, Trisagion School teacher and lampadaria at St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church in Charlotte, NC, has graciously offered to cover tonight’s class! 

I am thrilled to welcome Dina as tonight’s guest lecturer. Instead of logging i…Read more

There was an attempt made to translate the Typikon of St. Sabbas into English, but that project was abandoned. Typika are notoriously difficult to translate and part of the issue with St.…Read more

Typikon 101 basically assumes that you are familiar with the fixed parts of Vespers, Matins and the Liturgy. We were finding that some people didn’t have that down, so we created Typikon 100 as a way to focus on the structures of the services, before we…Read more

Start with S1. Thank you for pointing out an error in the doc! “Let thine ears be attentive” on there twice is most certainly an error. I have corrected it. We will go over everything in class, so don’t stress!

When there are two saint’s dismissal hymns, the tone of the last one governs the Theotokion. So, in this case, the tone of the theotokion will be in the tone of St. Nestor’s dismissal hymn.

I have been chanting at St. Mark of Ephesus in Westwood, MA since 2006 and have been Lampadarios since 2009. I received my Certificate in Byzantine Chant from Holy Cross in 2012 and have chanted with both the Dynamis Byzantine Ensemble and the Psaltikon…Read more

Thank you for taking Typikon 102. If you could let us know a little about yourself – where are you from and where do you chant – that would be great! Also, since this is a 102 class, I’d love to know what you’d like to focus on this semester, especially during our in-person Office Hour sessions.

My name is Peter George and I am your…Read more

So this confusion primarily arises from the fact that we generally don’t chant the canon in Matins.

Every saint in the Menaion, celebrated or not, has the following:

Three troparia at Lord, I have cried
A full canon of eight odes (Odes 1-9, minus Ode 2)
A mid-ode kathisma between Odes 3 and 4.

Therefore, a mid-ode kathisma is not a…Read more

Unfortunately, I once again need to adjust the schedule. This time it is because I was asked to cover vespers at a parish that is about 45 minutes away from my home. I probably would be able to make it back in time, but I also don’t want to rush things. (This has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day, trust me!)

So, I am proposing that…Read more

Unfortunately, I need to postpone today’s Office Hours due to an obligation of mine. I would like to reschedule, however. Please let me know when might be good for you and we can schedule a different time.

Please accept my apologies for the late notice.

First of all, Zornitsa, I appreciate you taking the time to look through the Bulgarian typika and giving us a look at a local Church that has recently (at least in Orthodox years) released a new Typikon. I agree that a primary goal of a…Read more

Also, is there a link to the powerpoint used in this week’s video lecture? I can’t seem to locate it. Thanks!

Let me see if I can post it. Sorry about that.

This will require a long answer, so bear with me.

The Liturgy of St. James was the primary liturgy in Jerusalem and still is the principle liturgy of non-Chalcedonian Syriac churches. The Monastery of St. Sabbas continued to use the Liturgy of St. James until the 12th century, when it was replaced by the Constantinopolitan…Read more

A daily vespers is just simply a vespers service that falls on a weekday without a feasted saint. They are certainly more simple and “O Gladsome Light” being read is definitely a part of that. There is no entrance and “Vouchsafe” is read immediately following “O Gladsome Light.” Generally, a daily vespers is chanted more quickly.…Read more

Hi, after viewing the lectures for lesson 2, we are directed to “Answer the discussion questions (two total) in the discussion forum.” I can’t find them, though. Could you please direct me to that homework?
