Flower triodion
The flower triodion (Church Slavonic Цветнаѧ Трїωдь . Russian Триодь цветная ) is a liturgical book in the Orthodox churches . It contains chants (canons) and prayers for the time from the Saturday of Lazarus to All Saints Day (in the Orthodox Church the Sunday after Pentecost). The name derives from the tradition of flowers in the liturgy on Palm Sunday .
The first printed flower triodion in Church Slavonic appeared in Krakow by Schweipolt Fiol around 1491 . In the 18th century, following the reforms of Patriarch Nikon in the Russian Orthodox Church, it was replaced by the Pentekostarion , which only begins on Easter Sunday . It is still in use in the Old Believing congregations today.
