Foreword

A Menaion is a liturgical book which contains the changeable parts of Byzantine divineservices for a given month. The volume in your hands is the tenth of a series of twelvebooks for use in Byzantine Catholic parishes. Each day is provided with the followingmaterial:

(1) Synaxarion (brief life of the saints remembered) (2) Troparia and Kontakia (3) Prokeimena and Alleluiaria (4) Communion Hymn.

On major feasts, the proper antiphons (when there are any) and the Magnification andIrmos (appointed to take the place of It is truly proper) are also included.

Texts which are contained in the Faithful’s Book published by the Byzantine CatholicChurch are reproduced with their musical settings from that book. Those texts weretranslated by the Inter-Eparchial Liturgical Commission, and then set to plainchant by theInter-Eparchial Music Commission.

Many of the Troparia contained in this volume of the Menaion are, in fact, common texts(i.e., they are used on more than one feast). These texts, too, come from the work of theIELC/IEMC, as are all the Prokeimena and Alleluiaria and Communion Hymns.

The texts of the Troparia and Kontakia that are not from the above-mentioned source arealmost always taken from the Order of Matins published by the Sisters of the Order ofSaint Basil the Great, and we acknowledge these texts with gratitude.

This volume is intended to be used annually. Because of this, cantors must use theTypikon of the Metropolitan Church to discern how materials from the Menaion are to be

combined with the Sunday Ochtoechos. The Typikon will also explain how Prokeimenaand Alleluiaria are to be combined.

May this series of volumes be a blessing for all who attend daily celebrations of theDivine Liturgy, as well as for those who, unable to be at church each day, still wish topray with the Church and honor the Lord and his saints.

1 The holy martyr Justin and his companions. Justin was a philosopher whofollowed purely the true wisdom he had recognized in the truth of Christ. He instructedby his character, taught the truth of the faith and fought by his writings. He fulfilled hisdeath at Rome under Marcus Aurelius Antoninus the emperor. When he presented his

Apology for the Christian religion to the emperor, he was handed over to the prefectRusticus. There he professed that he was a Christian, and was condemned. (167)

15 The holy prophet Amos, whom the Lord sent to the sons of Israel. He was a

herdsman of Tekoa and a dresser of sycamores, and his preaching was to defend theLord's righteousness and holiness against the transgressions of the children of Israel.The venerable Jerome, priest of Stridon, who, born in Dalmatia, was an exceptionallaborer. He pursued the studies of all literature in Rome and was baptized there. Then,seized by the power of the contemplative life and having embraced an ascetic life, heproceeded to the East and was ordained a priest. When he returned to Rome, he stayed ina retreat of Pope Damasus, and then left for Bethlehem in Judea. There he founded amonastery. The notable teacher escaped the world by translating and explaining theHoly Scriptures. In a marvelous way he was a worker fulfilling very many of the needsof the Church. Finally, when he had lived to an advanced age, he reposed in peace. (420)
