Summary/Abstract: At the end of the “Octoechos period” and until the “Pentecostarion period”, fromthe vigil of the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee, a new liturgical period ofthe religious year begins, ending with the Holy Saturday - this is the “Triodion”.From this day on, in the Orthodox churches, the cult book called “Triodion” isused. Among the hymnographic pieces of great spiritual strength and unequaledpoetic quality pronounced with devotion and deep interiorization in the Triodeperiod are also found “The hymns of the stanzas”, hymns sung on Good Friday inall monasteries and churches Orthodox. These express, in a liturgical, mystical andpoetic way, the historical fact of the burial of the Body of Jesus Christ. There arefew systematic concerns in Romanian theology regarding this important text. Inthis study, I propose a liturgical analysis of these hymns, an analysis necessary tounderstand their theological and poetic meanings.
