On the eve of great holidays and Sundays, it is served all-night vigil, or, as it is also called, all-night. The church day begins in the evening, and this service is directly related to the event being celebrated.

The All-Night Vigil is an ancient divine service, it was performed in the first centuries of Christianity. The Lord Jesus Christ himself often prayed at night, and the apostles and the first Christians gathered for night prayers. Previously, all-night vigils were very long and, starting in the evening, continued all night.

Vespers begin with Great Vespers

In parish churches, Vespers usually begins at seventeen or eighteen o'clock. Prayers and hymns of vespers are related to the Old Testament they prepare us for matins, which is mainly remembered new testament events. The Old Testament is a prototype, a forerunner of the New. The people of the Old Testament lived by faith - by the expectation of the Coming Messiah.

The beginning of Vespers brings our mind to the creation of the world. The priests burn the altar. It signifies the Divine grace of the Holy Spirit, Who hovered during the creation of the world over the earth that had not yet been settled (see Gen. 1:2).

Then the deacon calls on the worshipers to rise before the start of the service with an exclamation "Get up!" and asks for the blessing of the priest at the beginning of the service. The priest, standing before the throne in the altar, utters an exclamation: "Glory to the Holy, Consubstantial, Life-Giving and Indivisible Trinity, always, now and forever and forever and ever". The choir sings: "Amen."

While singing in chorus 103rd psalm, which describes the majestic picture of God's creation of the world, the clergy incense the entire temple and those praying. Incense marks the grace of God, which our forefathers Adam and Eve had before the fall, enjoying bliss and communion with God in paradise. After the creation of people, the doors of paradise were opened for them, and as a sign of this, the royal doors are open during incense. After the fall, people lost their original righteousness, distorted their nature and closed the doors of paradise for themselves. They were expelled from paradise and wept bitterly. After incense, the royal doors are closed, the deacon goes to the pulpit and stands in front of the closed gates, just as Adam stood before the gates of paradise after the exile. When a man lived in paradise, he did not need anything; with the loss of heavenly bliss, people have needs and sorrows, for which we pray to God. The main thing we ask God for is the forgiveness of sins. On behalf of all those who pray, the deacon pronounces peaceful or great litany.

After the peaceful litany, the singing and reading of the first kathisma follows: Blessed is the husband,(which the) do not go to the council of the wicked. The path of returning to paradise is the path of striving for God and avoiding evil, ungodliness and sins. The Old Testament righteous, who waited in faith for the Savior, kept the true faith and shied away from communication with godless and wicked people. Even after the fall, Adam and Eve were given the promise of the Coming Messiah, that the seed of the woman will wipe out the head of the serpent. And a psalm Blessed is the husband also figuratively tells of the Son of God, the Blessed Man, who did not commit sin.

Further sing verses on "Lord, cry". They alternate with verses from the Psalter. These verses also have a repentant, prayerful character. During the reading of the stichera, the entire temple is incensed. “May my prayer be corrected, like a censer before Thee,” the choir sings, and we, listening to this hymn, repent of our sins like the sinful forefathers.

The last stichera is called the Theotokos or dogmatic, it is dedicated to the Mother of God. It reveals the church teaching about the incarnation of the Savior from the Virgin Mary.

Although people sinned and fell away from God, the Lord did not leave them without His help and protection during the entire history of the Old Testament. The first people repented, which means that the first hope for salvation appeared. This hope is symbolized opening of the royal doors and input at the evening The priest and the deacon with the censer come out of the northern, side doors and, accompanied by the priests, go to the royal doors. The priest blesses the entrance, and the deacon, drawing a cross with a censer, says: "Wisdom, forgive me!"— which means “stand up straight” and contains a call for attention. The choir sings a hymn "Light Quiet", which speaks of the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ descended to earth not in majesty and glory, but in a quiet, Divine light. This hymn also speaks of the fact that the time of the birth of the Savior is near.

After the deacon proclaimed verses from the psalms called prokimnom, two litanies are pronounced: pure and pleading.

If the All-Night Vigil is celebrated on the occasion of a major feast, after these litanies lithium- a service containing special prayer petitions, at which five wheat loaves, wine and oil (oil) are blessed in memory of the miraculous feeding of five thousand people by Christ with five loaves. In ancient times, when the All-night service was served all night, the brethren needed to refresh themselves with food in order to continue serving Matins.

After the lithium are sung "poetry on verse", that is, stichera with special verses. After them the choir sings a prayer "Now let go". These are the words spoken by the holy righteous Simeon, who with faith and hope for many years awaited the Savior and was honored to receive the Christ Child in his arms. This prayer is pronounced as if on behalf of all the people of the Old Testament, who with faith awaited the coming of Christ the Savior.

Vespers ends with a hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary: "Virgin Mary, rejoice". It was the Fruit that the Old Testament mankind cultivated in its depths for thousands of years. This most humble, most righteous and purest Maiden, the only one of all the wives, was honored to become the Mother of God. The priest ends Vespers with the exclamation: "God bless you" and bless those who pray.

The second part of the vigil is called Matins. It is dedicated to the remembrance of the events of the New Testament.

At the beginning of Matins, six special psalms are read, which are called the Six Psalms. It begins with the words: “Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men” - this is a hymn sung by the Angels at the birth of the Savior. The Six Psalms is dedicated to the expectation of Christ's coming into the world. It is an image of the Bethlehem night, when Christ came into the world, and an image of the night and darkness in which all mankind was before the coming of the Savior. Not without reason, according to custom, all lamps and candles are extinguished during the reading of the Six Psalms. The priest in the middle of the Six Psalms in front of the closed Royal Doors reads special morning prayers.

Then a peaceful litany is celebrated, and after it the deacon loudly proclaims: “God is the Lord, and appear to us. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord". Which means: “God and the Lord appeared to us”, that is, he came into the world, the Old Testament prophecies about the coming of the Messiah were fulfilled. Then comes the reading kathisma from the Psalter.

After reading the kathisma, the most solemn part of Matins begins - polyeles. Polyeleos translated from Greek as mercifully, because during the polyeleos, laudatory verses from the 134th and 135th psalms are sung, where the multitude of God's mercy is sung in a constant refrain: as His mercy is forever! According to the consonance of words polyeles sometimes translated as abundance of oil. Oil has always been a symbol of God's mercy. During Great Lent, the 136th psalm (“On the rivers of Babylon”) is added to the polyeleos psalms. During the polyeleos, the royal doors are opened, the lamps in the temple are lit, and the clergy, leaving the altar, perform a complete incense of the entire temple. During censing, Sunday troparia are sung "Angelic Cathedral" telling about the resurrection of Christ. At the vigils before the feasts, instead of the Sunday troparion, they sing the glorification of the feast.

Then read the Gospel. If they serve vigil on Sunday, they read one of the eleven Sunday Gospels dedicated to the resurrection of Christ and His appearances to the disciples. If the service is dedicated not to the resurrection, but to a holiday, they read the festive Gospel.

After the reading of the Gospel, a hymn is heard at the Sunday All-Night Vigils "Seeing the Resurrection of Christ".

The worshipers venerate the Gospel (on the feast - to the icon), and the priest crosswise anoints their foreheads with consecrated oil.

This is not a Sacrament, but a sacred rite of the Church, serving as a sign of God's mercy to us. From the most ancient, biblical times, the fir tree has been a symbol of joy and a sign of God's blessing, and with the olive tree, from the fruits of which oil was obtained, the righteous is compared, on whom the favor of the Lord rests: And I, like a green olive tree, in the house of God, and I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever(Ps 51:10). The dove released from the ark by the patriarch Noah returned in the evening and brought a fresh olive leaf in his mouth, and Noah knew that the water had descended from the earth (see: Gen. 8, 11). It was a sign of reconciliation with God.

After the exclamation of the priest: "By grace, generosity and philanthropy ..." - the reading begins canon.

Canon- a prayer work that tells about the life and exploits of the saint and glorifies the celebrated event. The canon consists of nine cantos, each beginning irmosome- a chant sung by the choir.

Before the ninth ode of the canon, the deacon, having shaken the altar, proclaims before the image of the Mother of God (to the left of the royal doors): “We will exalt the Mother of God and Mother of Light in songs”. The choir begins to sing a chant "My soul magnifies the Lord...". This is a touching prayer-song composed by the Holy Virgin Mary (see: Luke 1, 46-55). A refrain is added to each verse: “The most honest Cherubim and the most glorious Seraphim without comparison, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify You.”

After the canon, the choir sings psalms "Praise the Lord from Heaven", "Sing a new song to the Lord"(Ps 149) and "Praise God in His Saints"(Ps 150) along with "praise stichera". At the Sunday All-Night Vigil, these stichera end with a chant dedicated to the Theotokos: "Blessed be Thou, Virgin Mother of God..." After that, the priest proclaims: "Glory to Thee, who showed us the Light," and the great doxology. Vespers in ancient times, lasting all night, captured the early morning, and during matins the first morning rays of the sun really showed up, reminding us of the Sun of Truth - Christ the Savior. The praise begins with the words: "Gloria..." Matins began with these words and ends with these same words. At the end, the whole Holy Trinity is already glorified: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.”

Matins ends purely and pleading litanies, after which the priest pronounces the final vacation.

After the all-night vigil, a short service is served, which is called the first hour.

Watch- this is a service that sanctifies a certain time of the day, but according to the established tradition, they are usually attached to long services - to matins and liturgy. The first hour corresponds to our seven o'clock in the morning. This service sanctifies the coming day with prayer.

    At the end, a Small dismissal (and not the prayer "Vladyka Many-merciful ...") and the usual rite of forgiveness.

    Matins.

    Matins begins with a two-psalm (in practice, without a two-psalm, immediately with the exclamation "Glory to the Saints and Consubstantial and Inseparable ...").

    Matins is celebrated according to ch. 49. Typicon: "On Saturday 2 fasts at matins". This service is in all respects similar to the funeral service performed according to 13 ch. Typicon. It differs only in the reading of the canon, tk. from Triodi it is supposed to sing four songs (6, 7, 8 and 9 songs each).

    The canon reads as follows:

    In the temple of the Lord and the Virgin:

    Temple canon with irmos for 6.

    St. from the Menaion at 4.

    It begins with the 6th ode, the canon of the temple is left and the canon of St. from Menaia, and then the four-footed from Triodion.

    In the temple of the saint:

    St. from the Menaion with irmos at 6.

    Holy Temple at 4.

    Starting from the 6th ode, the canon of the temple is left and the canon of the Menaion is sung first, and then the four-songs.


    funeral service
    on Saturdays Myasopustnaya and Trinity.

    In their construction and scheme, these services are not much different from the usual funeral liturgy performed according to 13 ch. Typicon.

    The Charter on the performance of these services are in 49 ch. Typicon, p. 394 on the reverse.

    Comparing these services with the funeral service performed according to 13 ch. Typicon, the following characteristic differences can be noted:

    I. On "Lord I cried" to "Glory" - verse 8 is sung: "I cry and sob ...".

    II. Instead of the daytime prokimen, the deacon says "Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia", ch. 8 with verses

    1) "Blessed, I have chosen and accepted Thou, Lord." "Remember them for generations and generations" (two verses together)

    2) "Their souls will be settled in the good"

    Choir: Alleluia sings 3x3.

    III. According to "Now you let go ..." at Vespers and according to "It is good" at Matins, the troparion of ch. 8 is sung.

    "Deep wisdom..."

    IV. Instead of "God is the Lord" the alleluia of ch. 8 is also sung.

    Troparion "The depth of wisdom ..." 2 times

    "Glory, and now", "You and the wall, and shelter ..."

    V. Reading the canon:

    1) The canon of the temple (of the Lord's or the Mother of God or a saint) with an irmos for 6.

    2) Canon Triodi on 8.

    To the troparia of the canon Triodi - the refrain: "Peace, Lord, the souls of the departed Thy servant." It is obligatory to sing also the 2nd song on a row in Triodion. Katabasia Triodi for each song "Song we will pour a libation of people ...". "It is worthy to eat" is not sung.

    In practice, only the canon of Triodion is most often read. Irmoses are the usual funeral ch. 6: "Like Israel walking on dry land ..." (located in the Sunday service of the 6th chapter). As a rule, the canon is read by the clergy in the middle of the temple. The choruses "Peace, Lord, souls ..." the choir sings. The clergy enter the altar after reading the lamp with the Mother of God from Triodi. (All the time from the exit from the altar on 16 kathismas and until the reading of the lamp they are in the middle of the temple).

    VI. On the clock tr.: "The depth of wisdom ..."

    According to the trisagion kontakion: "God rest with the saints..."

    VII. Troparion at the Liturgy:

    "With the depth of wisdom...", "Glory" - "God rest with the saints...", "And now" - "You have both a wall and a haven..."

    There is one prokeimenon for the dead, two readings according to the Typicon.

    VIII. On the Trinity Parental Saturday, instead of "We have seen the true light ...", the troparion is sung "With the depth of wisdom ..."
