Menaion – refers to the annual fixed cycle of services in the Eastern Christian Churches. The liturgical texts for celebrations on the Menaion are contained in twelve volumes called menaia. Each menaion will contain the services for an entire month. The liturgical year for Eastern Christians begins in September, so the Menaion for September is the first volume of the set.

Menaeon (alternate spelling) – consists of 12 books for 12 months. These books contain the text of services of unchanging feasts and also the daily office of each Saint.
