The Typica (Slavonic: Изобрази́тельны, Izobrazítelny) is a part of the Divine Office of Eastern Orthodox and Greek Catholic Churches that is appointed to be read on any day the Liturgy is celebrated with vespers, or the Typicon does not permit the celebration of the Liturgy (as occurs, for example, on weekdays during Great Lent),[note 1] or may be celebrated but is not either because no priest is present, or because no priest for whatever reason celebrates the Liturgy.
[citation needed] When replacing the Liturgy, the propers of the Liturgy are used, e.g., the troparia inserted between the verses of the Beatitudes, the troparia and kontakia before the Trisagion, and the scriptural readings with their corresponding prokimena.
[citation needed] On the weekdays of Great Lent the Psalms are omitted and between the verses of the Beatitudes is inserted "Remember us, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom" with prostrations, there are no readings, and, as is typical of Lenten services, the Prayer of St. Ephraim is used.
[citation needed] The text of the Typica can be found in English in several places including "The Unabbreviated Horologion".
[1] The text is available online in Church Slavonic[2] and, for the Lenten form only, in Greek.
