The theotokia on this page are chanted on weekdays in Vespers and Orthros after the apolytikia of minor saints, i.e., saints for whom the Menaion does not appoint the great doxology to be chanted in Orthros. Click here for more detailed rubrics for weekday theotokia.

Note: Clicking a "Hear" link will open a MIDI file, which can be played by your computer's media player. All these MIDI files are very small (less than 10 Kb). Bear in mind that a computer plays these files using an equal-tempered scale, which does not always correspond precisely to the actual pitches of Byzantine scales.
