HIDE TROPARIAMartyrs Adrian and Natalia, Troparion in Tone IV
In their sufferings, O Lord,/ Thy martyrs received imperishable crowns from
Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ they set at nought the tormentors
and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By their supplications save
Thou our souls.
Kontakion, in Tone IV
Having laid up in thy heart the divine words/ of thy divinely wise wife,/ O
Adrian, martyr of Christ,/ thou didst earnestly rush to sufferings,// receiving
a crown with thy spouse.
Kontakion, in Tone IV, "Thou hast appeared today..."
The divine commemoration of the martyrs hath shone forth/ and radiantly
illumined all the ends of the earth with the gladness of them that cry out://
Thou art the joy of the martyrs, O Christ!
Meeting of the "Vladimir" Icon, Troparion, in Tone IV
Today the most glorious city of Moscow is adorned, having received thy

entreating thee, O Mistress, do thus cry out: O all-wondrous Mistress Theotokos,
entreat Christ our God, Who became incarnate through thee, that He deliver this
city, and all cities and lands where Christians dwell, unharmed by all the
assaults of the enemy, and save thou our souls, in that thou art compassionate.
Kontakion, in Tone VIII, "To thee, the chosen leader..."
As ones delivered from evils by the arrival of thy precious image, O Mistress
Theotokos, do we splendidly chant hymns of victory to thee, the chosen leader,
on the feast of thy meeting, and we cry to thee as is our wont: Rejoice, O Bride
unwedded!

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.
