The service of Typica consists in Psalms 102 and 145, the Beatitudes, of short series of verses and hymns ("The heavenly choir..."), the Symbol of Faith, a short prayer of repentance, the Lord's Prayer, a series of appointed Kontakia, a prayer to the Trinity and Psalm 33, along with a dismissal that closely resembles that of other services. When read in place of the Liturgy's celebration, the Typica is read after the Sixth Hour in the place where the Liturgy would be celebrated; otherwise it is read after the Ninth Hour. When replacing the Liturgy, the
propers of the Liturgy are used, e.g., the
troparia inserted between the verses of the Beatitudes, the kontakia after the Lord's Prayer, and the scriptural readings with their corresponding
prokimena. On the weekdays of Great Lent the Psalms are omitted and between the verses of the Beatitudes is inserted "Remember us, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom" with small prostrations. Then the choir sings "Remember us, O Lord...; Remember us, O Master...; Remember us, O Holy..." with a great prostration. There are no readings, and, as is typical of Lenten services, the
Prayer of St. Ephraim is used. The Typica is also appointed to be read after the
Royal Hours on the
Eve of Nativity, the Eve of
Theophany, and on
Great Friday. == Text ==
