HIDE TROPARIONSt. Alexander Nevsky, Troparion, in Tone IV —
Recognize thy brethren, O right-believing Prince Alexander, thou Russian
Joseph who reignest not in Egypt, but in heaven; and accept their entreaties,
increasing the harvests of thy people through the fertility of thy land, and
protecting the cities of thy dominion by thy supplications. And together with
our Orthodox hierarchs do battle against all heresies.
Kontakion, in Tone IV —
As thy kinsmen Boris and Gleb appeared to thee, bringing thee help from
heaven when thou didst battle against Velgar the Swede and his warriors, so now,
O blessed Alexander, come to the aid of thy kinfolk, and contend thou against
those who wage war against us.
Sts. Alexander, John, and Paul the New, Troparion, in Tone IV —
O God of our fathers,/ deal with us ever according to Thy meekness./ Deprive
us not of Thy mercy,/ but through their supplications// direct our life in
peace.
Kontakion of the hierarchs, in Tone VIII —
Crucified by the love of Christ and having taken His yoke upon you as a
yoke,/ ye showed yourselves to be emulators of His life/ and became partakers of
His divine glory,/ O divinely wise Alexander, wondrous John and glorious Paul.//
Wherefore, standing before His throne, ye earnestly make supplication for our
souls.

Tipikon Signs
 – vigil for great feasts; a more festive service where all of the unfixed hymns are dedicated to the feast.
 – "vigil" to a certain saint when All Night vigil is celebrated. The order of the service is similar to a “Polyeleos” (magnification) service, in that small vespers, great vespers and matins are combined (from this comes the vigil) and that there is the blessing of breads and the anointing with oil at the end of matins.
– "cross", "Polyeleos", "with the Polyeleos", "Polyeleos service", that is the type of service during which the "Polyeleos" (Praise/Magnification) is sung during matins (the majestic singing of the 134 and 135 psalms with verses); in addition, during this service there is a reading from the Gospel, the prokeimenon, gradual antiphons, the canon with 8 troparions, the praises and Great Doxology are sung, and during vespers "Blessed is the man" is sung (first "Glory" of the 1st kathisma), there is an entrance, Old Testament readings (parameia) and during lityia all of the verses may be sung to the saint.
 – "doxology", "with doxology" during this service to the saint it is proper to sing the Great Doxology at the end of matins (in services of a lower rank, the doxology is read), also at this service are sung several Sunday Theotokions, sedalions after the kathisma (psaltery reading) to the saint, the katavasia during the canon, also at the end of matins are sung the praise verses, the Great Doxology, and the entire ending of matins follows the order of a feast.
 – "six verse", "up to six"; all six stikhera of "Lord, I cry" are sung to the saint, there is a stikhera for "Glory" of the Apotischa for both vespers and matins; troparion to the saint, and the canon of matins is sung to the saint in six troparions.
, , no sign – "without a sign"; the most ordinary, daily service to a saint, to whom it is customary to sing only three stikhera at "Lord I cry" and the canon of matins in four troparions. There may not be a troparion to the saint.
