FIRST ANTIPHON: (Refrain - “Through the intercessions of the Theotokos…”) “O God, my God, attend to me; why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my transgressions.” / Refrain. / “My God, I will cry by day, and wilt Thou not hearken? And by night, and it shall not be unto folly for me. But as for Thee, Thou dwellest in the sanctuary, O Praise of Israel.” / Refrain. / “Glory & Now” … and … Refrain. SECOND ANTIPHON: (Refrain – “Save us, O Son of God, Who wast crucified in the flesh; who sing to Thee. Alleluia!”) “O God, why hast Thou cast us off unto the end? Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast purchased from the beginning.” / Refrain. / “This is Mount Zion wherein Thou hast dwelt.” / Refrain. / “God is our King before the ages. He hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.“ / Refrain. / Glory & Now” … and … “O Only-begotten Son & Word of God …”. THIRD ANTIPHON: (Troparion During The Little Entrance – Tone One) Verses: “The Lord reigneth, let the people rage; He sitteth upon the cherubim, let the earth be shaken.

THE ENTRANCE HYMN: Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at His footstool; for He is holy. Save us, O Son of God, Who wast crucified in the flesh; who sing to Thee. Alleluia. AFTER THE LITTLE ENTRANCE: TROPARION OF THE HOLY CROSS: (Tone One) O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance; and to Thy Faithful people, grant victory over their enemies. And by the power of Thy Cross protect all those who follow Thee. KONTAKION OF THE ELEVATION OF THE CROSS: (Tone Four) Do thou, Who of Thine own good will was lifted up upon the Cross, O Christ our God, bestow Thy bounties upon the new Nation which is called by Thy Name; make glad in Thy might those who lawfully govern, that with them we may be led to victory over our adversaries, having in Thine aid a weapon of peace and a trophy invincible. THE ANTI-TRISAGION HYMN (Instead of “Holy God, Holy Mighty...”): “Before Thy Cross we bow down in worship, Master, and Thy Holy Resurrection we glorify. (3X) // “Glory & Now.” // “And Thy Holy Resurrection we glorify.” // “Dynamis!” // “Before Thy Cross we bow down in worship, Master, and Thy Holy Resurrection we glorify.” EPISTLE: 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 (Elevation of The Cross) HOLY GOSPEL: John 19:6-11, 13-20, 25-28 & 30-35 (Elevation of The Cross) Concerning the “Kiss of Peace,” prior to the Nicene Creed, we encourage you to greet those around you with a bowing of the head, saying: “Christ is in Our Midst!”…the response being: He is and Always Shall Be!” In this way, we express: (1) our Joy that God has acted to restore our Communion with Him … and … (2) our Hope in the Resurrection from the Dead that is offered to us by our Lord’s own “trampling down death by death!” God is With Us (“Emmanuel”)! MEGALYNARION FOR THE CROSS (Instead Of “It Is Truly Meet...”): Magnify, O my soul, the most precious Cross of the Lord. O Theotokos, thou art the mystical paradise, which being untilled hath blossomed forth Christ, by Whom the life-bringing Tree of the Cross was planted in the earth. In worshipping Him now through its elevation, thee do we magnify. KOINONIKON (Communion Hymn): “The light of Thy countenance, O Lord, hath been signed upon us. Alleluia!” INSTEAD OF “We Have Seen The True Light...”: “Troparion of The Cross” … See Above.

The Healing Patch is a free peer support program for children and their families who have suffered the death of a loved one. Volunteers are the heart of the Healing Patch. While volunteers must understand they are unable to “fix” what has happened, they are able to facilitate activities to help children and adults connect and share their feelings in a safe and welcoming environment.

  • Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos (Corrected Rubrics)
    The Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos (corrected rubrics) What is the Paraklesis? The Paraklesis is a service of supplication for the welfare of the living. It is addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos or a Saint whose intercessions are sought through the chanting of a supplicatory canon and other hymns. The most popular Paraklesis Service is that in which the supplicatory canon and other hymns are addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos. Who authored the Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos? The Small Supplicatory Canon to the Most Holy Theotokos was authored by Theosterictus the Monk (9th century), and the Great Supplicatory Canon to the Most Holy Theotokos was authored by Emperor Theodore I Ducas Lascaris (13th century). When is the Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos celebrated? Though it may be celebrated at other times during the year (in time of particular need, at the request of one of the faithful, or, as in some parish churches, every Wednesday or Friday evening), it is traditional that the Paraklesis Service, with the chanting of either the Small or Great Supplicatory Canon to the Most Holy Theotokos, be celebrated each evening during the Dormition Fast (August 1st through 14th) except on Saturday evenings, on the eve of the Transfiguration (August 5th), and on the eve of the Dormition (August 14th) when no Paraklesis is celebrated. How do I know which Supplicatory Canon is to be chanted? Outside the Dormition Fast it is always the Small Supplicatory Canon which is chanted. During the Dormition Fast, however, the Typikon prescribes that the Small and Great Supplicatory Canons be chanted on alternate evenings.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.

  • Vesperal Divine Liturgy of Holy Saturday
    1 HOLY SATURDAY MORNING Priest: Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Reader: Amen. O Come, let us worship and fall down before God our King. O Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and our God. O come, let us worship and fall down before the Very Christ, our King and our God. PSALM 104 (103) Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: Who maketh the clouds his chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

  • Dictionary of Religious Terms
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Please Read! his lexicon began as a personal project to assist me in my efforts to learn more about my faith. All too often in my T readings I was coming across unfamiliar words, frequently in languages other than English. I began compiling a “small” list of terms and explanations to use as a reference. Since I was putting this together for my own use I usually copied explanations word for word, occasionally making a few modifications. As the list grew I began having trouble filling in some gaps. I turned to some friends for help. They in turn suggested this lexicon would be a good resource for the members of the Typikon and Ustav lists @yahoogroups.com and that list members maybe willing to help fill the gaps and sort out some other trouble spots. So, I present to you my lexicon. Here are some details: This draft version, as of 19 December 2001, contains 418 entries; Terms are given in transliterated Greek, Greek, Old Slavonic, Ukrainian, and English, followed by definitions/explanations; The terms are sorted alphabetically by “English”; The Greek transliteration is inconsistent as my sources use different systems; This document was created with MS Word 97 and converted to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (can be opened with Acrobat Reader 4.0); Times New Roman is used for all texts except the Old Slavonic entries for which I used a font called IZHITSA; My sources are listed at the end of the lexicon; Permission has not been obtained from the authors so I ask that this lexicon remain for private use only.
