Dear all, on "the Rudder" this week I heard Ode 5 from the Canon of Palm Sunday used as a hymn for greeting/vesting of a bishop. (The singers were identified...
Thank you for sharing this, Lisa. You are absolutely right about the usual hymns. However, they do vary. For instance, whenever "It is truly meet" is replaced...
I hope some of you good people may be able to help me. If praying a canon in full, (that is, without the omission of the actual biblical canticles, which I...
Dear Subdeacon, The tropari of the canon are sung to the melody of the irmos; it is meant as the guide. NEVER sing the canticles at a Moleben. The canticles...
Thank you, Deacon Sergius. That really is helpful. I have had little exposure to canons and just want to get a clearer picture of how they work as my little...
There is ONE exception to the use of the Canticles at Matins ONLY, in that they are specified to be used with the Canon at the Midnight Office preceding Matins...
I had no idea. I think that, were I to suggest it, I would be chased out of the church by parishioners wielding torches and pitchforks. Is this actually done...
A few years ago we started singing this Canon (short form with refrains) during the Midnight Office (instead of just singing the Hirmoi and reading through the...

In the Lenten Triodion, a book which was a production from within the Greek Orthodox Church, Forgiveness Sunday Vespers ends with "Through the prayers of our...
One Orthodox peritus wrote me to say that, indeed, the "Through the prayers of our holy fathers" ending is exclusively Greek. Thus, in our ROCOR parish this...
In my experience, this is the ending when a priest isn't serving or not present. It's also one of several possibilities in readers' services whenever we would...
In ROCOR, in parishes (where the compline is not served), instead of the dismissal, the compline's prayer of forgiveness is said by the priest as part of the...
This is an interesting series of pages that explain how liturgical cycles work with the service books: http://htmp.org/how-church-books-work-home.html ...
