Byzantine Basics

[scapularkid8]

I’m a Latin attempting to start praying from the Horologion on this website: Online Reader Horologion

What are the basic terms (i.e. Troparion, Kontakion, Hirmos, ect.) that I, as a Latin should know about (these have been explained to me, but I just want to make sure I thoroughly understand them. Any other information that you might think would be helpful to me.

Thanks everyone for their continued help!

Try these sites:

orthodoxwiki.org/Troparion

orthodoxwiki.org/Kontakion

 

[Aramis]

While at orthodox wiki, you should look up Theotokion, and the related Irmos/Hirmos and Magnification.
