Resurrectional (Sunday) Stichera at the Praises
         Placeholder - midi

N.B.:  In Slavic Use, for Daily and Lenten Matins, we do NOT sing or read the stichera at the Praises from the Octoechos; instead, the stichera from the Octoechos are only used for Sundays, while for Daily and Lenten Matins the Psalms of the Praises are simply read straight through.

However, if there are any special verses (i.e., not from the Octoechos) appointed for Festal or Daily Matins by the Menaion (e.g., the Prefeastal Matins of Christmas), or Lenten Matins from the Triodion (e.g., the Matins of Holy Week), then these stichera ARE sung.  These verses can be found on the appropriate pages of the propers section of this website.
