HIDE TROPARIATroparion of the Dedication of the Church of the Resurrection
in Tone IV
Thou didst show forth the beauty of the holy dwelling-place
of Thy glory here below, O Lord,/ like the splendour of the firmament on high./
Establish it for all ages,/ and through the Theotokos accept the supplications
we unceasingly offer unto Thee therein,// O Thou life and resurrection of all.
Troparion of the Hieromartyr Cornelius in Tone IV
As thou didst share in the ways of the apostles/ and didst
occupy their throne, / thou didst find thine activity to be a passage to divine
vision, / O divinely inspired one. / Wherefore, ordering the word of truth,/
thou didst suffer for the Faith even to the shedding of thy blood.// O
hieromartyr Cornelius, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Troparion of the Forefeast in Tone IV
O Lord, we offer unto Thee in supplication the life-creating
Cross of Thy goodness,/ which Thou hast bestowed upon us, unworthy though we
are./ Save Thou all Orthodox Christians, and this Thy city,/ which entreateth
Thee through the Theotokos,// O Thou Who alone lovest mankind.
Kontakion of the Dedication, Tone IV "Thou hast
appeared"
The Church hath been shown to be a heaven of great
splendour,/ which enlighteneth all the faithful;// and, standing therein, we cry
aloud: Establish this house, O Lord!
Another Kontakion of the Dedication in Tone II "The
steadfast
"
Grant inner enlightenment and spiritual renewal of heart/
unto those who with faith celebrate the sacred dedication of the temple of Thy
house,/ which Thy good pleasure it was to have built unto Thy divine name,// O
Thou Who are glorious in the saints.

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.
