HIDE TROPARIATroparion of the Venerable Mother Theodora of Alexandria in Tone VIII
In thee, O mother, that which was created according to the
image of God was manifestly saved./ For accepting thy cross thou didst follow
after Christ,/ and praying thou didst learn to disdain the flesh,/ for thou
didst transcend it to take care of thine immortal soul.// Wherefore, with the
angels doth thy soul rejoice, O venerable Mother Theodora.
Troparion of the Holy Hieromartyr Autonomus in Tone IV
As thou didst share in the ways of the apostles/ and didst
occupy their throne,/ thou didst find thine activity to be a passage to divine
vision,/ O divinely inspired one./ Wherefore, ordering the word of truth,/ thou
didst suffer for the Faith even to the shedding of thy blood.// O hieromartyr
Autonomus, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved
Kontakion of the venerable Mother Theodora, Tone II "Seeking
the highest"
Laying waste to thy body through fasting,/ thou didst entreat
the Creator with vigils of prayer because of thy sin,/ that, receiving full
forgiveness,/ thou might also receive remission,// having come to know the path
of repentance.
Kontakion of the hieromartyr Autonomus, Tone II "Seeking
the highest"
Thou didst blamelessly perform the divine mysteries, O
all-wise and divinely blessed one,/ and didst become a pleasing sacrifice;/ for
thou didst drain the cup of Christ, O all-glorious one,/ beacon of the whole
world,// who prayest unceasingly in behalf of us all.
Venerable father Silouan of Mount Athos, Troparion in Tone IV
By thy prayers thou didst receive Christ as thy Master on the
path of humility;/ and in thy heart the Holy Spirit witnessed unto thy
salvation./ For this cause all people called to live in hope/ are now rejoicing
and celebrating thy memory.// O holy Father Silouan, pray to Christ to save our
souls.
Kontakion of the Venerable one in Tone VIII
During thy life on earth thou didst serve Christ, following
His path/ and now in Heaven thou dost contemplate Him Whom thou hast loved;/
dwelling with Him as He promised to His elect,// O holy father Silouan, instruct
us in the way that thou hast gone.

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.
