Anastasimatarion variant
Definition
An archaic form or niche regional variant for 'anastasimatar'; a liturgical book used in Orthodox churches of the Byzantine rite containing the Sunday chants dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ, systematically arranged according to the eight church tones. Preserved in old manuscript inventories or mentioned in past monastic parlance, this form structurally emphasizes the direct etymological link with the feast of the Resurrection.
