The '''Typikon''' (''τυπικόν''/''typikon'', pl. ''τυπικα/typika'', lit. ''following the order''; [[Slavonic language|Slavonic]]: ''ѹставъ/ustav'') is the book of directives and [[rubrics]] that establishes in the Orthodox Christian Church the order of divine services for each day of the year. It assumes the existence of liturgical books that contain the fixed and variable parts of these services. In [[monastery]] usage, the typikon of the monastery includes both the rule of life of the community and the rule of prayer.
