"Troparion"

A Troparion is a short hymn or poetic stanza used in Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Catholic, and some other Christian liturgies. It is typically sung or recited during church services to commemorate saints, feasts, or significant events. Serving as a musical and spiritual invocation, the Troparion summarizes theological themes, honors holy figures, and helps worshippers reflect on spiritual truths. Its melodic phrasing often enhances the communal worship experience, making it an integral part of liturgical tradition and devotional practice.
