Individual Titles
This revised version of the popular work about the Typicon (or Typikon) outlines many aspects of services and how they should be done. Topics range from proper decorum in church, the use of flowers, the orders of censing, directions on how to celebrate a hierarchical liturgy, how to serve in the presence of a non-celebrating bishop, services of Holy Week and Pascha, cross-processions, concelebration of the liturgy by multiple priests, and many other topics of interest especially to clergy.
This volume is an update to An Abridged Typicon first published in 1974 and reprinted in 1985 by St. Tikhon’s Seminary Press. The revisions made in this edition have been limited mostly to clarifying the text as originally presented to conform with traditional English liturgical norms now used in North America, and with much of Mother Mary and Metropolitan Kallistos Ware’s traditional liturgical translations. The chapter listing the prokeimena, alleluia verses and communion hymns in the original edition has not been included here since these texts are now available in The Apostol. Likewise, the table listing the readings from the Psalter and the glossary have also been omitted.

This volume is a reproduction of the popular 1982 St. Tikhon’s Prayer Book.

It includes the psalms of King David and the prayer Jesus taught his disciples, as well as prayers of the desert fathers, great hierarchs, teachers of the church, and more recent fathers.
