During Lent, church services take on a distinctive aura, marked by unique chants and texts that immerse us in a reflective, penitential state while also motivating us towards both physical and spiritual discipline. This transformation is largely attributed to the Lenten Triodion, the cornerstone liturgical book of this sacred season. Attentive participation in services guided by the Triodion reveals that Lenten endeavours should not lead to despondency; instead, they are meant to uplift and invigorate our spirits. The Triodion portrays Lent as a period of luminosity and mirth, where genuine repentance is intertwined with joy.
