Leave-taking – the final day of the extended celebration of a great feast on which the
proper hymns of the feast are repeated.

Otdaniye (Greek: Apodosis) – Similar to the Latin Octave. The final day of the post-festive period is called Otdaniye [also commonly transliterated as "Otdanije"] (relinquishing or surrendering of the feast). On this day, for the greater part, services are taken much the same as on the day of the feast.
