RUBRICS FOR THE CELEBRATION OF PATRONAL FEASTSOF A TEMPLE DEDICATED TO A SAINT

19.1 W P FS S S S

On Satffrday at Lile Vespers:At Loαd, I haεe cαied:

4 stichera for the Resffrrection in the Cffrrent ToneGloαy: doffiasticon for the Patron SaintBoh now: Dogmatic eotokion of Lile Vespers [in the Cffrrent Tone].

At the Aposticha:1 sticheron for the Resffrrection [from the Ocoecho]3 stichera for the Patron Saint from the Aposticha of Great Vespers flith

their fiersesGloαy: doffiasticon for the Patron Saint [from the Geneαal Menaion];Boh now: idiomelon for the Indiction.

Aer the Trisagion Prayers:Troparion for the Resffrrection [from the Ocoecho];Gloαy: Troparion for the Patron Saint;Boh Now: Troparion for the Indiction.

Lile Affgmented Litany and Dismissal.e Slafionic teffit reads глас д ⁸Tone 4⁹, bfft this is a mistake in the teffit. e 1641

edition reads гласꙋ д, that is, “4 of the Tone [of the fleek]”.When materials for the Patron Saint are not afiailable in the serfiice to the saint in

the monthly Menaion, they may be taken from the Geneαal Menaion. Since the Typicondoes not here specify flhich sticheron for the Patron Saint shoffld be sffng, the doffiasticonappointed at Loαd, I haεe cαied of Vespers in the Geneαal Menaion may be sffng.

e cffrrent fiersion of the Typicon indicates that the stichera are taken from GreatVespers. Hoflefier, the serfiice in the monthly Menaion for September 1 lacks Apostichastichera to St. Symeon ⁸the stichera are for the Indiction⁹. e 1641 edition indicates thatthe appropriate stichera are taken “from the serfiice to a Venerable Father in the GeneαalMenaion.”

e Typicon does not specify flhich sticheron for the Patron Saint shoffld be sffng.In practice, the doffiasticon appointed at the Aposticha of Vespers in the Geneαal Menaionmay be sffng.

According to the 1641 edition of the Typicon, this sticheron is taken from Boh nowat Loαd, I haεe cαied of Great Vespers ⁸O noαiginae Woαd and Son⁹.

While the Typicon does not make any speci c instrffctionsregarding Satffrday at this point – flhich Rozanofi ⁸1902, pp. 206, 212⁹ takes to mean thatit implies that the rffbrics are the same on Satffrday as for any other fleekday, and so thePrimary eotokion is not chanted – the Typicon does speci cally mention omiing thePrimary eotokion on Friday efiening only for the aerfeasts of Natifiity and eophany.Moreofier, in the rffbrics for September 13, as flell as in Section 61.54, it speci cally indi-cates that the Primary eotokion shoffld be chanted on Satffrday.

e modern edition of the Typicon indicates that this serfiice is to bechanted according to the rffbrics for a Vigil-rank saint on a Sffnday as setforth in Ch. 3 ⁸see p. 27⁹.

As gifien in the 1641 edition of the Typicon, the serfiice for thePatronal Feast di ers from a serfiice for a Vigil-ranked commemoration, es-pecially as concerns the Gospel lesson at Matins. In preparing this rffbric,fle hafie consfflted the proof book ffsed to create the 1682 edition of theTypicon ⁸Ꙩ₁₆₄₁№ at the Rffssian State Archifie of Ancient Docffments⁹,and the notes in that edition appear to indicate that the reformers had, infact, intended for the rffbrics for the Patronal Feast to be made to conformto the rffbrics for a Vigil-rank serfiice, as set forth in Ch. 3. Bfft if this flerethe case, they flere not consistent in their reforms, since in the rffbrics be-lofl for the Sffnday of the Forefathers, the Matins Gospel lesson for thePatron Saint and other elements of pre-reform practice hafie remained. Inflhat follofls, fle hafie constrffcted rffbrics for a Patronal Feast on a Sffndaybased on the 1641 edition of the Typicon, bfft taking into accoffnt the dif-ferences ⁸mainly related to the effiecfftion of the Polyeleos and Efflogetaria⁹betfleen the 1641 edition and the reformed edition.

e Epistle and Gospel lessons from the daily lectionary are transferred to the pre-fiioffs day ⁸see p. 115⁹.

[Prayer, Saεe, O God, y people.]e Sessional Hymn for the Fathers is printed in the serfiice for the Fathers and for

In light of the elimina-tion of Cathisma 17 in the modern Typicon ⁸concerning this, see the discffssion on p. 103⁹,the proper order of hymnography is no longer clear. e modern Typicon makes no men-tion of the Sessional Hymns for the Fathers and the Forefeast, printed in the serfiice forthe Fathers, bfft in offr opinion, there is no reason for them to be omied, efien in reformedpractice.

e Canon for the Forefeast is taken from the serfiice for the Fathers; the Canon forthe Forefeast from December 24 is chanted on a prefiioffs day at Compline.

ere is confffsion at this point regarding the order of Effiapostilaria, flhich arisesofft of the inclffsion in the Menaion of the Effiapostilarion Abαaham, Iaac and Jacob frommodern Greek soffrces flhile leafiing in place the Effiapostilarion Fαom he eed of Abαaham,flhich is not foffnd in modern Greek soffrces. ffs, the modern Typicon proposes in theinstance of the Sffnday of the Fathers falling on Dec. 24 to omit the resffrrectional Effia-postilarion altogether and to chant both Effiapostilaria for the Fathers. Bfft in the presentTemple Chapter, the modern edition indicates the order: Effiapostilarion for the Resffrrec-tion; for the Fathers; Gloαy / Boh now: for the Forefeast, flhich is clearly erronoffs andcame abofft by striking the flrong Effiapostilarion from the 1641 edition. We hafie pre-sented the order of chanting the Effiapostilaria as gifien in the 1641 edition. Alternatifiely,in keeping flith the modern edition of the Menaion, the follofling order is also acceptable:Effiapostilarion for the Fathers, Fαom he eed of Abαaham; another, Abαaham, Iaac andJacob; then Gloαy: for the Patron Saint; and Boh now: for the Forefeast, Be glad, O Behle-hem! e Effiapostilarion for the Resffrrection, if chanted, is taken in order ⁸in other flords,the Effiapostilarion has the same nffmber as the Resffrrectional Matins Gospel that floffldhafie been read on this Sffnday had it not been displaced by the Matins Gospel reading forthe Patron Saint⁹.

Concerning the readings from the daily lectionary dffring the period of Natifiity andeophany, see the relefiant footnotes for Dec. 18 and the charts in Appendiffi C.

offgh the modern Typicon indicates simply to follofl the rffbrics in Temple Chap-ter 1, this is not correct, becaffse the leafie-taking for the Patron Saint still falls dffring theperiod of the Aerfeast of the Natifiity.

e 1641 edition instrffcts: “Prokimenon, Allelffia, Epistle lesson, Gospel lesson, andCommffnion fierse: for the eotokos and the Patron Saint.” is re ects the more ancientpractice in the Rffssian Chffrch to almost alflays read tflo lessons at Litffrgy, reading thegeneral lesson for the eotokos flhen a second lesson is not afiailable ⁸see Zheltofi andPrafidolyffbofi ⁸2000⁹⁹.

e modern Typicon only calls for siffi hymns to be chanted from the Canon forthe Patron Saint at these Odes ⁸inclffding the Hirmos⁹. In offr opinion, this is incorrect,since Canons at Matins are nefier chanted flith siffi hymns only ⁸see the discffssion ofthis by Rozanofi ⁸1902, pp. 244⁹⁹. Moreofier, the practice of chanting only the Canon forthe Saint, flithofft the Canon for the eotokos, is contrary to the general strffctffre ofPolyeleos-rank and Vigil-rank obserfiances. We refiiefled this rffbric in the proof bookof the 1682 edition ⁸Ꙩ₁₆₄₁№ at the Rffssian State Archifie of Ancient Docffments⁹ andfoffnd that the rffbrics had become corrffpted, and that the modern rffbric, in offr opinion,is the resfflt of scribal error. ffs, fle propose belofl the strffctffre as foffnd in the 1641edition. In a Temple of the eotokos, one may chant tflelfie hymns from the Canon forthe Patronal Feast, by analogy flith the rffbrics for Acathist Satffrday.

Concerning the confffsion in the order of Catabasia as gifien by the 1682 edition ofthe Typicon, see the comments in Chp. 19. e 1641 edition calls for the Catabasia for theprefiioffs Sffnday.

When on a fleekday of Lent the Biblical Odes are chanted in the festifie redaction,the fffll teffit of the omied daily Ode ⁸in this case, Ode 1⁹ is chanted on a di erent day ⁸inthis instance, on Tffesday⁹.

e modern edition of the Typicon, hoflefier, contains the follofling statement:“chant Lile Compline flith the Canon for St. Lazarffs, flrien in the Triodion,” thffs callingfor both Lile Compline and Great Compline to be chanted on this day. e instrffction tochant tflo Compline o ces on the same day is ffnprecedented; it rst appears in the 1641edition, and only in this Temple Chapter; no sffch profiision is made in the relefiant Mark’sChapter describing the order of serfiice for Annffnciation on Lazarffs Satffrday; in fact, noTypicon or Triodion afiailable to ffs makes any statement concerning the transfer of theCanon for St. Lazarffs on Annffnciation, efien thoffgh the general strffctffre of that serfiiceis similar to flhat is offtlined in this Temple Chapter. Absent a detailed analysis of thesoffrces ffsed to compile the 1641 edition, fle cannot make any jffdgement as to the basisfor this instrffction, or as to flhy it flas retained in the 1682 and 1695 editions. Hoflefier,fle beliefie that it is most proper to follofl the rffbrics as they are foffnd in the 1610 and1633 editions, and to chant only one Compline o ce ⁸as part of Vigil⁹, transferring theCanon for St. Lazarffs – flhich is in fact an ancient Canon for Palm Sffnday – to Complineon a prefiioffs day.

e Typicon calls for the siffith hoffr of the night, bfft this disagrees flith the relefiantMark’s Chapter for Annffnciation. Beginning Vigil at the siffith hoffr re ects the Rffssianpractice of starting Vigil later ⁸dffe to the longer period of night-time⁹; the Mark’s Chaptersof the 1682 edition flere changed on the basis of Greek soffrces that call for an earlier startof Vigil. ffs, the 1641 and 1610 editions of the Mark’s Chapter call for Vigil to begin atthe siffith hoffr flhile the 1630 edition and manffscripts based on Greek soffrces – at the

rst hoffr. If follofling the Typicon at soffthern laitffdes, the Greek practice is preferrableflhile at more northernly laitffdes, the pre-reform Rffssian practice is appropriate.

dffe to the fact that in the 1641 edition, the Hirmoi of Ascension flere chanted on thisSffnday as the Catabasia. e reformers ⁸for reasons ffnknofln to ffs⁹ indicated instead tochant the Catabasia for Pentecost. Hafiing changed the rffbrics for the 7ᵗʰ Sffnday in Ch. 49and in the Mark’s Chapter for St. John the eologian, hoflefier, they neglected to changethe rffbrics in this Temple Chapter. If follofling the reformed practice, then, one shoffldchant the Hirmoi of Pentecost; the Hirmoi of Ascension shoffld only be chanted if one isfollofling the pre-reform practice.

e Typicon makes no mention of the rst Sessional Hymn for the Fathers, Ye αlyweαe hown, becaffse it is not present in the pre-reform books. In offr opinion, it may beomied or chanted instead of this Sessional Hymn.
