WARNING

NOT EVERYTHING THAT

CALLS ITSELF ORTHODOX IS

TRULY ORTHODOX


The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986. Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the Royal Path. For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation. And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten. For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the Royal Path, especially who speak English. Hopefully this website will be a place where Newcomers to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring."

Doing Reader's Typica at Home




1. Here is a popular version of a Reader's Sunday Typica
     https://www.saintjonah.org/services/typica.htm. 

 
2.   https://vigilservicetexts.groups.io/g/main/topics
      Click on the date you want and then scroll down to bottom-left and click on "Bulletin"
 
In Fr. David's Bulletin, scroll down near the end to where is the information for the Litrugy.  The troparia/kontakia that is chanted at Liturgy is what you chant that day at 
typica.   Fr. David includes troparion/kontakion for St. Elizabeth who is his "temple patron."   People doing services at home can substitute their family patron or their own patron saint.
  
Fr. David includes the verses to use in the 3rd Antiphon (Beatitudes) which are indicated in the Liturgical Calendar to be taken from the Octoechos/Menaion/Triodion/Pentecostarion.
 

Two other very appreciated online resources for putting services together is:

Always start with the Liturgical Calendar
Everything has to be checked against the Liturgical Calendar.  Fr. David's Vigil Texts is a huge help, but it can be trusted only so far as the ROCOR-MP.   Etna's website is amazingly organized — everything is laid out so clear and uncomplicated.  It is more trustworthy than MP, but it can not be trusted completely either.  Always check everything against our Liturgical Calendar, which overrides any inconsistency you might find, even with our own ODS.
