== General Menaion==
Slavonic: Минея месячная. There is another volume called the '''General Menaion''' (Slavonic: Минея общая) which contains services for each type of celebration ([[Apostles]], [[Martyrs]], etc.) with blank spaces for the name of the [[saint]] being celebrated. When a parish is not able to afford a complet set of menaia (as often happens in mision situations), or if they do not have the texts for a particular saint they wish to commemorate, it is normal to use the General Menaion to fill in for those services which are missing. 
== Festal Menaion ==
 There is also what is called the '''Festal Menaion''' (Slavonic: Минея праздничная) which contains the texts for those [[Great Feasts]] of the Lord or the [[Theotokos]] which fall on the fixed cycle.
