Typikon Signs � vigil for great feasts; a more festive service where all of the unfixed hymns are dedicated to the feast.
� "vigil" to a certain saint when All Night vigil is celebrated. The order of the service is similar to a �Polyeleos� (magnification) service, in that small vespers, great vespers
and matins are combined (from this comes the vigil) and that there is the blessing of breads and the anointing with oil at the end of matins.
� "cross", "Polyeleos", "with the Polyeleos", "Polyeleos service", that is the type of service during which the "Polyeleos" (Praise/Magnification) is sung during matins (the majestic singing of the 134 and 135 psalms with verses); in addition, during this service there is a reading from
the Gospel, the prokeimenon, gradual antiphons, the canon with 8 troparions, the praises and Great Doxology are sung, and during vespers "Blessed is the man" is sung (first "Glory" of the 1st kathisma), there is an entrance, Old Testament readings (parameia) and during lityia all of the verses may be sung to the saint.
� "doxology", "with doxology" during this service to the saint it is proper to sing the Great Doxology at
the end of matins (in services of a lower rank, the doxology is read), also at this service are sung several Sunday Theotokions, sedalions after the kathisma (psaltery reading) to the saint, the katavasia during the canon, also at the end of matins are sung the praise verses, the Great Doxology, and the entire ending of matins follows the order of a feast.
� "six verse", "up to six"; all six stikhera of "Lord, I cry" are sung
to the saint, there is a stikhera for "Glory" of the Apotischa for both vespers and matins; troparion to the saint, and the canon of matins is sung to the saint in six troparions.
, , no sign � "without a sign"; the most ordinary, daily service to a saint, to whom it is customary to sing only three stikhera at "Lord I cry" and the canon of matins in four
troparions. There may not be a troparion to the saint.
