Orthros
Corrected the short section referring to Orthros as tradtionally ending before sunrise. The Exaposteilarion hymns were originally a chanting of Psalm 42:3, followed by the Ainoi (Psalms 148, 149 & 150) which was tied with everything awakening to the day and praising the Lord. For this reason, we say that Orthros concludes just after sunrise with the Great Doxology.

1812 Overture
clarified, changed Russian Orthodox Troparion of the Holy Cross to "Russian melody to the Eastern Orthodox Troparion of the Holy Cross". As that hymn is universal in Orthodoxy, but the melody used is uniquely Russian
