DESCRIPTION:Abstention from meat and foods that contain these ingredients.\
 n\nVESPERS ON THURSDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Reading\n\nThe appointed psalm 
 are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 4\, Podoben “You have given a sign
 …”\n\nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You for
 giveness is that You may be revered.\n\nWhen all creation beheld You cruci
 fied\, it was changed and trembled:* the whole earth shook\, quaking\, О 
 long-suffering Word\;* in fear the veil of the temple rent in two* and in 
 terror the rocks split asunder when You were insulted\;* and the sun\, kno
 wing You to be its Creator\, hid its rays.\n\nI have waited for You as You
  have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on Your promise\,* for it has t
 rusted in the Lord.\n\nHow did the most iniquitous council dare to condemn
  You\, О immortal Judge\,* who of old in the desert gave the law to Moses
 \, who beheld God?* How could they fail to be filled with terror\,* behold
 ing the Life of all dead upon the Cross?* How could their mind not fathom 
 that You are the one Lord and Master of creation?\n\nFrom the morning watc
 h until night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nWith the piercing of Your 
 side\, О greatly Merciful One\,* the ancient record of our forefather Ada
 m was rent asunder\;* and by the shedding of Your blood rejected human nat
 ure was sanctified\,* and cried aloud: Glory be to Your loving-kindness!* 
 Glory be to Thy divine crucifixion\,* О almighty Jesus\, the Saviour of o
 ur souls!\n\nTone 8\, Special Melody: “O all-glorious wonder…”\n\nFo
 r with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him there is plentiful redemptio
 n\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.\n\nThe chosen Chi
 ef Cornerstone has been set up in Sion\,* the immovable Foundation whereon
  the ranks of the martyrs have founded themselves.* With them the victorio
 us Hyacinth shines with heavenly lustre.* O Your ineffable loving-kindness
 \, O Master!* Thereby\, O Christ\, save our souls\, in that You alone are 
 merciful.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, all
  you people.\n\nYou flew through Jerusalem\, the splendid city of God\,* l
 ike a stone dyed with blood\, clad in the purple robe of suffering.* And n
 ow you have manifestly prayed\, dancing and rejoicing.* By your supplicati
 ons save those who celebrate your all-glorious and sacred memory\,* O all-
 blessed one.\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for us\;* eternally will Hi
 s truth endure.\n\nPossessed of right acceptable boldness before Christ th
 e Master\, as an invincible martyr\,* and His well-given ear as a lawful a
 thlete\,* cease not in your entreaties\, O right wondrous one\,* deliverin
 g from temptations and evil circumstances* those who\, keeping your memory
 \, hymn you faithfully.\n\nTone 8\, Glory… Now…\n\nSeeing the God-Man 
 who ineffably shone forth from her\, suspended upon the Cross\,* the Theot
 okos said weeping:* What is this sight which my eyes behold\, O Master?* L
 ifted up upon a tree\, You who sustain all creation die\,* granting life t
 o all\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 6\n\nMy help is from the Lord\,* Who made heav
 en and earth.\n\nverse: I lifted up my eyes to the mountains\, from where 
 my help shall come.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 4\n\nYou have given Your Cross to
  us as an invincible weapon\, О Christ\;* and with it we triumph over the
  assaults of the alien one.\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to You enthroned i
 n heaven. Behold\, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their maste
 rs\, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress\, so are our e
 yes on the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nEver possessing Your 
 Cross as a help\, О Christ\,* we easily trample underfoot the snares of t
 he enemy.\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lord\, have mercy on us\; for we have be
 en filled with shame\; our soul is all too full of the mockery of the rich
 \, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nО Christ God\, who are glorified in t
 he memorials of Your saints\,* entreated by them send down upon us great m
 ercy.\n\nTone 4\, Podoben “Called from on high…”\n\nGlory… Now…\
 n\n“Lament not for Me\, O Mother\,* beholding Me your Son and God hangin
 g upon the Tree\,* who has suspended the earth upon the waters unsupported
 \,* and has fashioned all creation\;* for I shall arise and be glorified\,
 * and shall crush the kingdoms of Hades with strength\;* destroying its po
 wer* and delivering those in bondage from its wickedness\,* for I am compa
 ssionate\;* and I shall bring them to My Father\,* in that I am the Lover 
 of mankind.”\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 4\n\nYour martyr\, Hyacinth\, O Lord\,*
  by his passion acquired the crown of incorruptibility from You\, our God.
 * For possessing Your power he overcame the torturers* and shattered the f
 eeble insolence of demons.* By his supplications\, save our souls.\n\nGlor
 y… Now…\n\nO Virgin\, all immaculate Mother of Christ God\,* a sword p
 ierced your all-holy soul* when you saw your Son and God willingly crucifi
 ed.* Therefore\, O blessed One\,* never cease to pray to Him* that He may 
 grant us forgiveness of our sins.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON FRIDAY MORNING\n
 \nTroparia and Kontakia\n\nTroparion\, Tone 4: Your martyr\, Hyacinth\, O 
 Lord\,* by his passion acquired the crown of incorruptibility from You\, o

 tar you appeared to the world* proclaiming with your rays the Sun\, that i
