AT MATINS

After the first chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Thou hast appeared today…”—

The most splendid feast of the Master hath arrived! Come ye all to the mountain, having first cleansed yourselves spiritually, and let us ascend Tabor, to behold Christ!

At “God is the Lord…”, the troparion of the feast, twice; Glory…, the troparion of the saint; Now & ever…, the troparion of the feast, once.

After the second chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Joseph marvelled…”—

Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.

Two canons: that of the feast, with 8 troparia; and that of the saint, with 4 troparia—

Thou wast transfigured on Mount Tabor, O God, in the midst of the all-wise Elijah and Moses, with James, Simon and John. And Peter, who was there, said to Thee: “It is good for us to make here three booths: one for Moses, one for Elijah, and one for Thee, Christ our Master!” O Thou Who then shone forth Thy light upon them, illumine our souls!

Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
