Trisagion

The Trisagion (Greek: Τрисάγιον, "thrice holy") is a liturgical formula in Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, as well as other Eastern Christian traditions. It refers to a traditional hymn of the Bible, specifically in Revelation 4:8, where the names of God in three divine attributes, or ascriptions, are changed to the three holy forms: "Lord, Holy One, Almighty". In Christian liturgy and hymnology, the Trisagion is a common and ancient Gregorian chant and Latin hymn, which is sung in various forms to praise God, especially in worship and during processions on certain feasts and sacred occasions. A Trisagion typically has three parts, hence its name meaning "thrice holy", where each of the three parts refers to one of the following: First, "Holy God in holy ones", Second, "Holy One of God," Third, "Holy in unchanging holiness." The most well-known example of a Trisagion is the hymn traditionally sung in the Trisagion Service, also known as the Funeral Trisagion or the " thrice holy" hymn, in churches of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, which translates to English as: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (Three times). In the Greek Orthodox tradition, the Trisagion is also recited at funerals, and in other times of great sorrow or mourning, to evoke reverence and supplication for the soul of the departed and intercede for their eternal rest. The Trisagion prayer can be found in the Easter Matins (or Vigil) service of the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches, typically at the third hour, and is also part of the Liturgy of Preparation in certain Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox traditions. Therefore, the Trisagion, by historical, cultural, and devotional context, has great significance in defining the aspects of worship, affectation and chant related to God's dominion, agency, and glorification in Christian religious practice.
