Liturgy
This page contains church services very similar to what we perform at Holy Transfiguration (one or two words have been translated differently in some places). Some of these are text only and some contain music scores. All are in PDF format unless otherwise specified and require Adobe Acrobat or Foxit PDF reader to view. I recommend Foxit: It is available on our freeware page.

It is permissible to read canons and akathists, either separately or as part of another service. A canon is a collection of hymns in nine odes that honors the Savior, the Mother of God, a saint, a holy day. or a spiritual theme. An akathist is a song of praise in twelve parts that glorifies the Savior, the Mother of God, a saint.... An akathist may be read or sung, or read with the refrains sung.
