NOTE: If the forefeast of the dormition of the Theotokos fall on a Sunday, we chant the whole service of the forefeast together with that of the resurrection and that of the prophet, evening, morning and at liturgy, as is indicated for the forefeast of the transfiguration of Christ. Only at matins we chant the katavasiae: “All-adorned with divine glory…” [the irmoi of the first canon of the feast of the Dormition]. At the entrance of liturgy, we chant: the troparion of the resurrection, that of the forefeast, and that of the saint to whom the temple is dedicated. Then, the kontakion of the resurrection; Glory…, that of the saint to whom the temple is dedicated; Now & ever…, that of the forefeast.
On the beatitudes, 8 troparia: from Odes III and VI of the canon of the forefeast.
After the Entrance: first, the troparion of the temple, if it be dedicated to Christ; then that of the forefeast and that of the temple, if it be dedicated to a saint. Glory…, the kontakion of a temple of Christ; Now & ever…, that of the forefeast.
