24. T R I O D I O N M A T I N S – S A T U R D A Y OF THE SOULS – BEFORE MEATFARE

 Memorial Services & Saturdays of the Souls
A Memorial Service - Mnemosinon (Greek) or Panikhida (Russian) is a Liturgical
observance in honour of the Departed Faithful souls, which is served in the
Eastern Orthodox Church.
The Prayers for the Reposed comforts those who are still Struggling in this
existence, and reminds us of our mortality and the brevity of this preparatory
period before Eternity.
Consequently, Memorial Services have an air of penitence and tend to be served
more frequently during the four major Fasting Seasons of Great Lent, Advent -

St. Mark the Ascetic

before the Nativity of Christ, the Apostles’ Fast and the Dormition Fast.
Memorial Services for individuals often are held at their graveside, but if it is a
General Commemoration of all Departed souls of a Parish or if the person’s
gravesite is far away, Memorial Services are conducted before a small table
upon which is an upright Cross, a Holy Icon of Theotokos and St John the Every sin
Beloved Apostle, Evangelist and Theologian, as well as lit candles.
The Deacon or Priest swings the lit Censer throughout almost the entire Memorial that is left without Repentance
Service, and everyone present stands with lit candles symbolising an is a sin unto Death,
individual soul.
During the final Troparia, all will either extinguish their candles or place them for which if even a Saint shall pray,
on the Memorial Table, symbolising how we will all have to surrender our he shall not be heard.
soul at the end of this temporary lifespan.
The Memorial Service consists of Psalms, Ektenias (Litanies), Hymns and Prayers,
following the general outline of Matins, which in effect is a truncated Funeral
Service, the most notable of which are the Kontakion of the Departed Souls and
the final, slow and solemn chanting of “Memory Eternal” – “Eonia i Mnimi” or
“Vyechnay Pamyat.”
Memorial Services are most frequently served after the Divine Liturgy although
they may also be served after Vespers, Matins or as a separate Memorial
Service, when the Epistle of St Paul and the Holy Gospel Lesson are assigned
by day.
No readings are assigned to Sunday because it is the Day of our Lord’s
Resurrection rather than Memorial Day, which is usually on Saturdays – the
Sabbath Day of Rest.
Koliva – boiled wheat flavoured and sweetened with sugar, spices, raisins,
sultanas, seeds, nuts, pomegranates and parsley – is prepared beforehand
and brought to Church before the beginning of our Holy Services of Vespers
or Matins and placed on a table on the Soleas with a Holy Icon and candles.
Lists of names of our Reposed family and friends are given to the Priest well
before the Holy Services begin, to be included in his Prayers for the Departed
souls in each of the Holy Services.
(General) Memorial Services are served on numerous Saturdays of the Soul,
throughout the year, and there are also special Propers (particular Liturgical
sections) during Vespers, Matins and the Divine Liturgy:

Meatfare Saturday (two Saturdays before Great Lent),

Cheesefare Saturday, for All Holy Ascetics,

the second, third and fourth Saturdays of Great Lent,

“Radonitsa” which is the second Tuesday after Holy Pascha,

after Sunday of St Thomas,

Saturday before Pentecost.

SATURDAY SOULS – TONE 3
OF OF THE
Having, as God, Authority over the
living and the dead, grant Rest to
Thy servants in the Dwellings of the
Elect. O Saviour, even if they sinned,
yet did not depart from Thee.
SATURDAY OF THE SOULS – TONE 2
O Lord, Repose Thy Servants in the
Land of the Living, in a Place where
there is no longer sorrow, no
suffering, pain, or sighing. Be
gracious towards their sins in life, as
Thou art the Only Sinless One Who is
Merciful and Master of both the
living and the dead.
O Virgin Mary, Bride of God: cease not
praying to Christ for us, with the
God-Inspired Prophets and also the
Hosts of Martyrs, and Hierarchs and
Holy Monks, the Righteous Saints,
that we all who are Thy servants may
together with Thee inherit the
Blessed Kingdom of Heaven.
) PLAGAL 1
Let everything that has breath praise
the Lord. Praise the Lord from the
Heavens; praise Him in the Highest.
To Thee praise is due, O God.
Praise Him, all His Angels; praise Him,
all His Powers. To Thee praise is
due, O God.
OF THE SOULS - TONE (8)PLAGAL 4
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;
praise Him according to the
greatness of His Majesty.
O Brethren: come before the end, and
seeing that we are earth, and the fact
that our nature is infirm, let us
behold that we are vile and see what
our end is like and the organs of our
vessel made of flesh, and that
everyone is but dust, food for
worms, and decay; that our bones
are dry and have no breath. Let us
look into the graves: Where is the
glory? Where is the beauty of our
form? Where is the tongue that
spoke so well? Where is the brow,
and where is the eye? All are but
dust and shadow. Therefore, O
Saviour, spare us all!

TRIODION MATINS – SATURDAY OF THE
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and
harp.
Why is mankind deceived into
boasting, and why is he troubled for
no purpose, since he is made of
earth and will soon return to it?
Why not reflect on the fact that he is
made from earth, and will end in
rotten putrefaction? So if we
humans are clay, why are we so
attached to the earth? And if we are
planted together with Christ, why
not run to Him, and leave behind
this mortal and fleeting life, and
aspire rather to the Life
Incorruptible? Christ is this Life,
and the Illumintion of our souls.
Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with strings and flute.
When Thou formed Adam with Thy
Hand, O Saviour, Thou set him
between Incorruption and mortality.
Later, Thou made Life in Grace to be
free of corruption, and Thou moved
him back to his former Life. Now, O
Master, to Thy Servants, whom Thou
hast taken from us to Thyself, grant
Repose with the Righteous and in
the Choir of the Elect; and record
their names in the Book of Life; and
raise them at the sound of the
Archangel’s Trumpet; and count
them worthy of Thy Heavenly
Kingdom.
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord.
Christ Arose, and from the bonds He
loosened Adam, the First-created
man, and He destroyed the power of
Hades. Take courage, all you
Reposed, for Death has been put to
death, and with it Hades has been
despoiled. And Christ is reigning,
even He Who was Crucified and Rose
again. He has granted us the
Incorruption of our flesh; He raises
us and grants us the Resurrection;
and to all of us who have ardently
believed in Him with unwavering
Faith, He grants us that Glory and
Joy.
