Triodion (Lenten Triodion)

Printed at the printing house of the Kyiv Pechersk Dormition Lavra in 1907.

On the title page is a handwritten inscription (in Russian): "Archpriest Nikita Yavorsky. 1927. Kharkiv."

The book was acquired by the museum from Petro Vasylovych Bludov, a resident of the settlement of Vasyshcheve, Kharkiv district, Kharkiv region, in 1982.

Note: the Triodion (Greek Triῳdion — "three odes") is a liturgical book of the Byzantine-Slavonic tradition for the pre-Easter portion of the church calendar. It contains prayers and hymns of predominantly penitential character for the preparatory and Lenten weeks, as well as for Holy Week, from the week of the Publican and the Pharisee through to Pascha. The hymns are set out mainly in the form of three odes (hence the name).
