Continue immediately with the appropriate selection of psalmic verses as listed on page 684 of The Great Horologion. Thereafter, the "Triadikon" of the protopsaltis' choice is chanted. These are found on pages 888-888 in this book. Is it by chance that these days [after Pascha] which we now celebrate number fifty? Indeed it is not without reason, my brothers, that the Church maintains the usage of ancient tradition that the Alleluia be sung throughout these fifty days. For Alleluia means the praise of God, and therefore it signifies to us who toil what occupies our time of rest. For when after this period of toil we come to that time of rest, our only business will be the praise of God, our activity there will be Alleluia. What is Alleluia? Praise God. Who can praise God without ceasing but the angels? They hunger not, nor thirst nor grow sick, nor die. Blessed Augustine
