Triodion

Fasting triodion 1646

The Triodion (Greek Τριῴδιον, Church Slavonic Трїωдь ) is a liturgical book in the Orthodox churches . It contains the canons for pre-fasting, fasting and Easter (from the Sunday of the tax collector and Pharisee [third Sunday before the Great Lent ] to All Saints' Day [Sunday after Pentecost ]).

The name is derived from the three odes that were sung in the liturgy at this time instead of the usual eight odes.

It is divided into

  • the fast triodion (Sunday of the publican and Pharisee to the Friday before Palm Sunday) and
  • the flower triodion (Lazarus Saturday to All Saints' Day)

or in the Russian Orthodox Church

  • the fast triodion (Sunday of the publican and Pharisee to Holy Saturday) and
  • the Pentekostarion ( Easter to All Saints' Day)
