"Iveron" Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, Troparion, in Tone I
The audacity of those who hate the image of the Lord and the might of the
impious came godlessly to Nicaea, and emissaries inhumanly interrogated the
widow who piously venerated the icon of the Mother of God; but at night, she and
her son cast the icon into the sea, crying out: "Glory to thee, O pure one, for
the trackless sea hath given thee its breast! Glory to thy straight journey, O
thou who alone art incorrupt!"
Kontakion, in Tone VIII
Even though thy holy icon was cast into the sea by the widow who was unable
to save it from the foe, O Theotokos, yet hath it been shown to be the preserver
of Mount Athos and the gatekeeper of the Monastery of Iveron, frightening away
the enemy and delivering from all misfortunes and dangers them that honor thee
in our homeland.
St. Innocent of Moscow, Troparion of the holy hierarch, in Tone I
Thy sound went forth unto all the lands of the midnight sun, for with the
light of the Gospel thou didst enlighten the ignorant who accepted thy words,
and whom thou didst teach in godly manner; and thou didst adorn their human
customs. O holy hierarch Innocent our father, thou boast of Russia, entreat
Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Or this troparion, in Tone III
O holy hierarch Innocent our father, thou who wast first to teach the tribes
which before lay in heathen darkness, and first to show them the way to
salvation, who didst labor as an apostle in the enlightenment of Siberia and
America: entreat the Master of all, that He grant peace to the whole world and
great mercy to our souls.
Kontakion, in Tone IV
Thou wast a true and truthful teacher; for, having thyself done what the Lord
commanded, thou didst thereby teach and instruct in piety those who came to
thee, didst enlighten unbelievers to recognize the true Faith, illumining them
with holy baptism. Wherefore, thou rejoicest with the apostles, receiving the
honor of an evangelist of Christ.

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.
