“This volume is the second in the series The Service Books of the Orthodox Church and forms a sequel to The Festal Menaion[...]. Practical considerations render it impossible at this juncture to issue a printed translation of the Lenten Triodion in its entirety. [...W]e have included the full text for the following days: All Sundays in the period of the Triodion (omitting Small Vespers); The Saturday of the Dead; The first week of Lent (in its entirety); Thursday in the fifth week (the service of the Great Canon); Saturday in the fifth week (the service of the Akathistos Hymn); Saturday in the sixth week (the Saturday of Lazarus); Holy Week (in its entirety). Altogether this represents about two-thirds of the total contents of the Triodion.” —“The Meaning of the Great Fast: The Present Translation”
