HIDE TROPARIAAfterfeast of the Nativity of the Forerunner
O prophet and forerunner of the coming of Christ,/ we who honor thee with
love are at a loss how to praise thee worthily;/ for by thy glorious and honored
nativity/ thou didst loose the barrenness of her who gave birth to thee/ and the
muteness of thy father,/ and dost proclaim unto the world// the incarnation of
the Son of God.
Holy Martyred. Nun Febronia, Troparion, Tone IV
Thy ewe-lamb Febronia crieth out to Thee with a loud voice, O Jesus:/ "I love
Thee, O my Bridegroom,/ and, seeking Thee, I pass through many struggles:/ I am
crucified and buried with Thee in Thy baptism,/ and suffer for Thy sake, that I
may reign with Thee;/ I die for Thee that I might live with Thee./ As an
unblemished sacrifice accept me,/ who sacrifice myself with love for Thee// By
her supplications save Thou our souls, in that Thou art merciful.
Kontakion of the Martyr, Tone VI, "O helper..."
"O my Bridegroom, Jesus most sweet," cried Febronia,/ "it is not
difficult for me to follow Thee,/ for the sweetness of Thy love hath given wings
of hope to my soul,/ and the beauty of Thy mercy hath sweetened my heart,/ that
I might drain the cup of sufferings in emulation of Thee,/ that Thou mayest
worthily reckon me among the wise virgins who dance with Thee in Thy bridal
chamber."/ Wherefore, O venerable passion-bearer, honoring the struggles of thy
labor, we entreat thee:// Pray thou, that we not find the portals of the
bridal-chamber locked to us.
Kontakion of the Forerunner, Tone III
Today she who before was barren/ giveth birth unto the forerunner of Christ,/
and he is the fulfillment of all prophecy;/ for, laying his hand in the Jordan
upon Him Whom the prophets foretold,// he hath been shown to be the prophet,
herald and forerunner of the Word of God.

Typikon 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.
