OF THE SAINT –  The expressions “of the saint” and “of the saint of the day” mean the saint (or the icon, or other fixed feast) being commemorated that calendar date (for example, the saint for September 26, if that is the current date). Any reference to “saint” means the hymn can be found in the menaion (meneon). Thus “troparion of the saint” and “troparion from the menaion” are equivalent expressions.
