The Resurrectional Troparia and Kontakia

During most of the year, this cycle is followed on Sundays, moving on to the next one each successive week and, after Tone 8, returning to Tone 1. These troparia and kontakia have been collected from many sources. They are posted here so that our leaders of the singing (at Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Taipei), who live in different cities, can review the music during the week as we do not have time for practice except for Sunday AFTER Liturgy. Some of the music comes from books put out by the Orthodox Church of America or from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America (acknowledged below) while Tones 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are of Carpatho-Rusyn origin.
