The Temple Chapters of the Typikon - St. Jonah Orthodox Church

Kontakion of the Temple, the Forefathers, and Sunday, alternating 26 .
Divine Liturgy:
Beatitudes of the Tone, on 4; of the Forefathers, Ode 3, on 4; of the Temple, Ode 6, on 4.
After the Entrance: Resurrectional Troparion; Forefathers; Temple; Resurrectional Kontakion;
G: Temple; N: Forefathers.
Instead of the Prokimenon: the Song of the Forefathers Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the God of
our fathers; then, Prokimenon of the Temple. Epistle, Alleluia, Gospel: of the Forefathers and the daily
(Sunday) reading as one; Temple.
Communion hymn: Praise the Lord from the heavens and Rejoice in the Lord.
[Vid.] That same day in the Evening, the leave-taking of the Temple, as set forth in the First [Temple]
Chapter:
At Lord, I have cried: Stichera of the Temple, on 3; the Saint 27 , on 3; G: Temple; N: Dogmatic
Theotokion [in the Tone of the doxasticon].
Prokimenon of the day.
At the Aposticha: Octoechos; G: Temple; N: Sunday Theotokion [from the “lesser ones” in the
Tone of the doxasticon].
After the Trisagion: Troparion of the Temple; G: Menaion, if any; N: Theotokion [in the Tone of
the last Troparion].
And thus we take leave of the service to the Patronal Feast of the Temple. Note that if the Temple is
dedicated to the Forefathers, we sing its leave-taking in like manner.

Thus we are to understand that at Third Hour, we read the Kontakion of the Temple; at Sixth Hour – the Forefathers; and
at Ninth Hour – the Resurrection.

Of the upcoming day, in the Menaion.
