HIDE TROPARIASt. Athanasius the Great, Patriarch of Alexandria, Troparion, Tone III
Thou wast a pillar of Orthodoxy,/ strengthening the Church with divine
dogmas, O sacred hierarch Athanasius;/ for, preaching the Son as consubstantial
with the Father,/ thou didst put Arius to shame.// O venerable father, entreat
Christ God, that He grant us great mercy.
Kontakion, Tone II, "Of thy blood..."
Planting Orthodox doctrines,/ thou didst cut down the thorns of heresy,/
increasing the seed of the Faith with the rain of the Spirit, O venerable
one;// wherefore, we hymn thee, O Athanasius.
St. Boris-Michael, prince of Bulgaria, Troparion, in Tone VI
Full of the fear of God, and enlightened by holy baptism, thou becamest a
habitation of the Holy Spirit, O right-believing King Boris; and having
established the Orthodox Faith in the land of Bulgaria, and set aside the
scepter of kingship, thou madest thine abode in the wilderness, didst flourish
in ascetic struggles, and found grace before the Lord. And now, standing before
the throne of the Most High, pray thou, that He grant unto us who entreat thee
salvation for our souls.
Kontakion of the saint, in Tone VIII, "To thee, the champion leader..."
O chosen leader of God Most High, Who by the power of the Cross triumphed
over the uprising of darkness and planted piety in thy land, as thou hast
boldness before the Lord, by thy supplications preserve thy posterity, that we
may cry to thee: Rejoice, O King Boris, equal of the apostles, baptizer of the
land of Bulgaria!

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.
