The Feast of Mid-Pentecost is the half-way point of the Paschal season.
The name comes from the fact that this period of 50 days is contained in our Liturgical book called Pentecostarion. In Jesus' time, the feast of Pentecost was an agricultural celebration and at the "middle of the feast" Jesus went into the Temple to teach. (John 7: 14-30)
Kontakion, Troparion, Exapostilarion, and Vespers Sticheron or Doxastikon
The tone for this week is 4.
TROPARION
At the middle point of this festive season, give my thirsty soul to drink
of the waters of true worship, for You called out to all people:
"whoever is thirsty let them come to Me and drink"
O Christ God, Fountain of Life, glory to You.

O God of all spirits and of all flesh, who have destroyed death, overcome the devil, and given life to the world: grant, O Lord, to the souls of your servants
Bucky and Shirley, who has departed from this life, that it may rest in a place of light, in a place of happiness, in a place of peace, where there is no pain, no
grief, no sighing. And since You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, forgive him/her every sin he/she has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for
there is not a man who lives and does not sin : You alone are without sin, your righteousness is everlasting, and your word is true. You are the Resurrection and
the Life, and the repose of your departed servants Bucky and Shirley. O Christ our God, and we send up glory to You, together with your eternal Father and your
all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and for ages upon ages. Amen.
