FESTAL HANDBOOK

Saint Luke's Serbian Orthodox Mission and the Serbian Orthodox Choral Association have collaborated in the production of a new handbook for the major feasts of our Lord and Saviour, and the Theotokos..

The handbook contains the feastday liturgies for:

The Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos

The Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross

The Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos

The Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos

The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Circumcision of Our Lord Jesus Christ and The Feast of St. Basil the Great

The Theophany of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Meeting of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos (as sung on Saturdays and Sundays)

Palm Sunday

Pascha

The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Pentecost

The Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos

Music for all troparia, kontakia, prokeimena and irmoi is in a setting which is easy to follow. It contains instructions for following Feastday Liturgies, order of troparia and kontakia and explanation of changes in the services when they fall on Sundays or during Great Lent

This fully bilingual book, in Serbian (Cyrillic) and English on facing pages, provides the parishioner a valuable aid to follow the Liturgy throughout the year in either the Serbian or the English language. It is the perfect companion to the Liturgical Handbook previously published, with similar size and set-up of pages (but can be used in conjunction with any other Liturgical book as well).

The Festal Liturgical Handbook is an invaluable resource for the cantor, choir, or parishioner. It has been assembled with the same thoroughness and care to detail as the Liturgical Handbook.

We are pleased to provide you samples of musical notation from our book in PDF format:
