HIDE TROPARIAHoly Apostle Philip, Troparion, Tone III
O holy apostle Philip/ entreat the merciful God// that He grant to our souls
remission of transgressions.
Or this troparion, in the same tone
The whole world is splendidly adorned;/ Ethiopia doth dance,/ graced as with
a crown, having been enlightened by thee,/ and she doth radiantly celebrate thy
memory, O divinely eloquent Philip,/ for thou didst teach all to believe in
Christ/ and didst fittingly finish the course of the Gospel;/ wherefore, the
land of Ethiopia doth boldly entreat God.// Beseech Him to grant us great mercy.
Kontakion, Tone VIII "As the first-fruits"
Thy disciple and friend, the emulator of Thy suffering,/ the divinely
eloquent Philip, proclaimed Thee to the world as God;// by his prayers and
through the Theotokos, keep Thy Church and every city from most iniquitous
enemies, O most Merciful One.
St Gregory of Palamas, Troparion, Tone VIII
O wonderworker Gregory, instructor in Orthodoxy, adornment of holy
hierarchs, invincible champion of theologians, great boast of Thessalonica,
preacher of grace: entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Kontakion, in Tone VIII, "To thee, the champion leader..."
O divinely eloquent Gregory, together we hymn thee, the sacred and divine
instrument of wisdom, the brilliant clarion of theology. And as a mind standing
before the primal Mind, O father, guide thou our mind unto Him, that we may cry:
Rejoice, O preacher of grace!

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.
