From the Typicon of Fr. David Petras


Special Note. Orthodox and some Catholic Triodions prescribe the Feast of St. Gregory Palamas to be
observed on this Sunday. 

Historical note: St. Polycarp was the saint specially commemorated on the Second Sunday of Lent
before St. Gregory Palamas. (Cf. the Typicon of the Great Church, Ms Holy Cross 40, f. 21 9v, edited by
Juan Mateos, Le Typicon de la Grande Eglise, Rome, 1963, II, 30).
