RubricsAS in the standard Greek Anastasimatarion, this book has both sticheraric (slow) andheirmologic (brief) versions of “Lord, I have cried,” the Stichera, and the Apostichatroparia. On a typical Saturday evening on the Holy Mountain, the sticheraric versionsof “Lord, I have cried” and the Stichera troparia are chanted, whereas the heirmologicversions of the Aposticha troparia are chanted. In some parishes, however, the standardpractice is to chant the sticheraric versions of “Lord, I have cried” and the Sticheratroparia for first, second, plagal first, and plagal second modes, while the remaining modes arechanted heirmologically.When there is no Doxasticon appointed for the Stichera by the Menaion, Triodion, orPentecostarion, the verses “Glory...” and “Both now...” are chanted together in the mode of theweek, followed by the sticheraric version of the Dogmatic Theotokion in the mode of the week.When, however, there is an appointed Doxasticon for the Stichera, it is chanted sticherarically,preceded by the sticheraric verse “Glory.” Thereafter, the verse “Both now” is chanted in themode of the week, followed by the sticheraric version of the Dogmatic Theotokion in the modeof the week.When there is no Doxasticon appointed for the Aposticha by the Menaion, Triodion, orPentecostarion, the verses “Glory...” and “Both now...” are chanted together sticherarically inthe mode of the week, followed by the sticheraric version of the Aposticha Theotokion in themode of the week. When, however, there is an appointed Doxasticon for the Aposticha, it ischanted sticherarically, preceded by the sticheraric verse “Glory.” Thereafter, the verse “Bothnow” is chanted heirmologically in the mode of the preceding Doxasticon, followed by theheirmologic version of the Aposticha Theotokion in the same mode.
