In the temple of the saint - the troparion of the day: "Apostles, martyrs ...", the troparion of the holy martyr (general); kontakion of the holy martyr. “Glory” - “Rest with the saints ...”, “And now” - “Like the first principles of nature ...”.

Note. In the temple of the saint on Saturday, the troparion and kontakion of the temple are not sung, because all the saints are named in the troparion and kontakion of the day.

Prokeimenon, alleluiarium and communicant - of the day.

Apostle and Gospel - of the day.

Note. During the Sabbath service with “God is the Lord”, the funeral prokeimenon, alleluiarium, and sacrament are not sung, and the funeral Apostle and the Gospel are not read (see: Rozanov V. Liturgical Charter Orthodox Church. S. 372).

During the singing of the Octoechos at the Liturgy on Saturday, ordinary readings follow after the readings of the saints. On Sundays, ordinary readings precede the readings of the saint. On weekly days, ordinary readings precede the readings of a saint, even with a polyeleic and vigilant saint; however, with a vigilant saint, ordinary readings are usually transferred to the previous or next day.

The Typikon prescribes singing the verses of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th martyrs with "Lord, cry out." These martyrs in the Shabbat service of tones 1-7 are located in the second group of stichera. In the Sabbath service of the 8th tone, three martyrdoms are given in Oktoikhos in the first group of stichera, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th stichera are not martyrs in content. Therefore, when performing the Sabbath service of the Octoechos of the 8th tone of the martyr, for singing the stichera on the verse, one must borrow from the 1st group the stichera.

On the 17th kathisma, the priest performs a full incense of the temple, as on “Lord, I cried”; royal doors remain closed (see Typicon, ch. 12).

“This is exactly the order of troparia and kontakia indicated in Oktoikh. Meanwhile, in 52 ch. Type., l. 385, there is no mention of the kontakion of the temple of Christ or the Mother of God, but in 12 ch. it is even said: “on Saturday, the temple kontakions of Christ and the Theotokos are left; as soon as a great saint comes, then And now, kontakion of the temple of Christ or the temple of the Virgin; and where there is no temple of Christ and the Mother of God, we say: Representation of Christians". But here the idea is not expressed that on Saturdays the kontakion of the church of Christ or the Theotokos cannot be sung, but that on Saturday the troparia and kontakions cannot be covered with the kontakion of the church of Christ or the Mother of God; it is necessary to cover them with the Sabbath chant: Like the beginnings of nature... Moreover, however, the kontakion of the temple of Christ or the Mother of God is not completely eliminated: if a great saint happens, when the daily troparia and kontakia are left, then in the temple of Christ the Savior and Mother of God they must be covered with a kontakion of the temple of Christ or the Mother of God, and where the temple is not of Christ and not of the Mother of God, then - Representation of Christians...» ( Rozanov V. Liturgical Rule of the Orthodox Church. S. 308).

Rozanov V.

Wed: Rozanov V. Liturgical Rule of the Orthodox Church. pp. 726–727, 714, 716.

In the temple of the Lord and the Mother of God, the kontakion of the Cross is sung to "Glory".

The singing of the 8th stichera on “Lord, I have cried” is a feature of the polyeleic Sabbath service of the period of singing the Colored Triodion (cf.: Typicon, ch. 50, “On the Saturdays of Pentecost”, 2nd “see”).

It is permissible to include in the number of four stichera of the feast of Triodi (Week of the Samaritan) the glory of Triodi, tone 6: “At the student Jacobl ...” (cf.: Ustav. M., 1641. L. 60 (531); Syrnikov N. Key to the Church Charter. L. 106v.).

Poems are sung on the verse Sunday voices from the Triodion (with Sunday refrains: “The Lord reigns…”), even if the memory of a polyeleic saint happens (cf. Typikon, ch. 50, “On the Saturdays of Pentecost”, 3rd “see”).

Incense is not performed on the 17th kathisma, as it is transferred to polyeleos (cf. Typikon, ch. 15).

On Saturdays of the period of Pentecost, sedals in kathisma are sung only from the Triodion (cf.: Typicon, ch. 50, “On the Saturdays of Pentecost”, 5th “see”).

Singing on "And Now" on the sedal of the feast of the Triodion is preferable to singing the Theotokos Menaion.

According to V. Rozanov, at the 9th hour, which takes place on Saturdays in the evening of the 2nd, 3rd and 5th weeks of Pentecost, the troparia and kontakia of the Triodion (holiday or Sunday), sung on previous Sundays, should not be read how the celebration of the feast of the Week was already at the Sabbath Liturgy (see: Rozanov V. Liturgical Rule of the Orthodox Church. Part III. Section IV. S. 727). However, the Ustav at the 9th hour on Saturday of the 3rd week indicates the troparion of the feast of Triodi (the Week of the Myrrh-Bearing Women): “Good-looking Joseph...” (cf. Typikon, ch. 50, “On the Saturdays of Pentecost”).

The convenience of using the Liturgical Instructions issued for each year by the Moscow Patriarchate is undeniable and beyond doubt. For those who have the most general knowledge of the Rule of Divine Liturgy, they are simply indispensable, according to which the majority of regents and tutors study the Rule; for those who know the Charter well - liturgical instructions just a great time saver.

I remember how at the end of the 90s, when I was already working as a regent, and the Liturgical Instructions for each year had not yet been published (if I am not mistaken, we bought the first Liturgical Instructions for 2002), I had to prepare each service for a long time, analyzing the Charter with the help of tables of V. Rozanov (). But I didn’t have this book then, but there were tables published separately on its basis, a little book of such an A3 format. It was very inconvenient to use it during worship. Therefore, for each service I made a draft on a piece of paper. In addition, I had liturgical instructions for 1953, donated by one priest. Looking at them, I dreamed about how good it would be if such liturgical instructions were issued even now.

It's only been a few years and my dream has come true. Now no one dreams of publishing liturgical instructions, since they are published every year and all parishes, as a rule, do not hesitate to buy several signs to the parish (to the altar and kliros, and if possible, also to the priest, and regent home). But still, there are also poor parishes that can afford to buy only one copy of the Liturgical Instructions for the entire parish. But you really want to have liturgical instructions always at hand both at the parish and at home.

Every priest and many choir directors have situations when they didn’t plan to serve, but suddenly they were invited to some kind of divine service or they need to replace someone, perhaps in another parish, and they need to prepare a divine service at home. It is probably for this purpose that the liturgical instructions are posted on the Internet.

For your convenience, in the header of the site I have made links to liturgical instructions and to the Orthodox calendar. However, given the fact that not all regents are quite advanced users of personal computers, I decided in this article to tell you how to use the Liturgical Directions more conveniently and quickly.

Similarly, we use the Orthodox calendar. By clicking on the link in the header of the site, we get to the page. Click here for today's link. The address of the page is written in the browser line:

Currently Liturgical Instructions for 2019 not yet published on the website of the Patriarchate. But on the website of the publishing house of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church have already been published (until the end of the year). Immediately following the link opens the Orthodox calendar, and at the bottom of the page is a link to the Liturgical instructions. Here, finding the right day is a little more difficult. The link looks like =10 means January 10 (NS). Thus, if you need to view instructions for May 13, for example, then you need the link address http://calendar.rop.ru/?idd=10 change to http://calendar.rop.ru/?idd=133, since May 13 is the 133rd day of the year (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 13). Also published on the ABC of Faith website. Download to yourself Orthodox calendar for 2019 it is possible, and liturgical instructions for 2019 here and .

If you are the owner of a smartphone, then you have the opportunity to have " Orthodox calendar” and “Liturgical Instructions” are always at hand. You can download applications for Android Apps using the links: "" and "". Personally, I liked the Orthodox calendar with the lives of the saints the most. I downloaded it, and after a while I found that it has everything: the Prayer Book, the Akathist Book, the Canon Book, the Psalter, the Bible, and the Directory of Terms. And all this wealth weighs only 40.8 MB. I am delighted! Recomend for everybody. It remains only to find time to read it all.

It is also possible to use Android applications on a PC, but this requires an Android emulator. Some of them are suggested. Via search engines you can find others.

For the inhabitants of Ukraine, I could not find the liturgical instructions issued by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. If someone comes across - please share the link. The liturgical instructions of past years were found

For those who have a very poor understanding of the Rule, even using the Liturgical Directions, I offer two options: one is fast, the other is slow, but thorough.

1. The site "Regent for the Year" offers "" (this is just in case you don’t know anything at all in which book to look for, just take it, download it and serve). By the way, this option should be looked at by those regents who have to leave an unknowing replacement in their place, and such cases, probably at least once, happen to everyone.
2. Go to the "Training" section and study "". This is really necessary for all regents, especially those who did not study at the regent's courses and did not study this most interesting subject.

Himself, the All-good King, bless these seeds with various fruits and sanctify those who eat from them, as if to Your glory and in honor of the holy Great Martyr Theodore Tyrone, this one was offered from Your servants, and in memory of those who died in the pious faith. Grant, Blessed, to those who adorn this and make all the memory, even to the salvation of petition, and Your eternal blessings of enjoyment, with the prayers of the Most Pure Lady of Our Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, and the Holy Great Martyr Theodore Tyron, his saints, and the memory of all.
