The Order of the 9th Hour, Typika & Vespers for the 5th Wednesday of the Great Fast; every year the 5th Thursday is reserved for the chanting of the Great Penitential Canon of St Andrew of Crete and the saint is not commemorated (moved to Small Compline later). Instead we have the Alphabetical Stikhera (24 to the number of letters in the Greek Alphabet) meditating on the same themes as the Great Canon.
