HIDE TROPARIADeposition of the Precious Robe of the Theotokos, Troparion, Tone VIII
O Ever-virgin Theotokos, protection of mankind:/ thou hast given to thy city
a mighty legacy,/ the robe and cincture of thy most honored body,/ which have
remained incorrupt through thy seedless birthgiving./ For in thee are nature and
time renewed.// Wherefore, we beseech thee to grant peace to thy city and great
mercy to our souls.
Kontakion, Tone IV, "Having been lifted up..."
O pure one, full of divine grace,/ thou hast given all the faithful a garment
of incorruption,/ thy sacred robe, wherewith thou didst cover thy sacred body,/
O protection of all mankind./ With love do we celebrate its deposition,/ and cry
out to thee with fear, O pure one:// Rejoice, O Virgin, thou boast of
Christians!
St. Juvenal, patriarch of Jerusalem, Troparion, in Tone IV
The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, a model of
meekness and teacher of abstinence. Wherefore, thou didst attain the heights
through humility and riches through poverty. O father Juvenal, entreat Christ
God, that our souls be saved.
Kontakion, in Tone II
Assembling now, with hymns let us honor Juvenal, the boast of Jerusalem, the
namesake of youth, who today hast been translated to the life which waxeth not
old, the heir of the apostles, fellow initiate of the mysteries with the
God-bearing fathers, explainer of the dogmas of Orthodoxy, denouncer of false
doctrines, the universal teacher of the Truth. |

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.
