At Compline, the kontakion of the feast.
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
At Nocturns, we read the kathisma as usual, and the usual troparia, not that of the feast. We do say the prayer, “Remember, O Lord…”
At Matins, at “God is the Lord…”, the troparion of the feast, twice; Glory…, Now & ever…, the troparion again. After the kathismata, the sessional hymns of the feast. Psalm 50. The canons of the feast: Canon I, with 8 troparia, including the irmos; and Canon II, with 6 troparia, including the irmos. We chant the irmoi of both canons twice. Katavasiae: the irmoi of Canon I. After Ode III, the hypacoï of the feast. After Ode VI, the kontakion & ikos of the feast. Before Ode IX we do not chant the Magnificat, but rather the festal refrains, as on the feast itself. Exapostilarion of the feast, twice. On the Praises, 4 stichera of the feast; Glory…, Now & ever…, of the feast. Great Doxology. Trisagion; troparion of the feast, once. Litanies, and dismissal. We read the First Hour in the narthex.
