The '''Menaion''' (Greek: Μηναίον; Slavonic: ''Минея/Minéya''; "of the month") refers to the annual fixed cycle of services in the Orthodox Church. Commemorations in the Menaion are tied to the day of the calendar year.
Since 1921, there have been two calendars in use within the Orthodox Church: the [[Julian Calendar]] and the [[Gregorian Calendar]]. At the current time there is a thirteen day difference between the two caldendarscalendars. This means that those churches which use the [[Revised Julian Calendar|New Calendar]] (Gregorian) will celebrate the feasts on the fixed cycle thirteen days before those who follow the [[Old Calendar]]. The other major annual cycle, the Paschal cycle is the same for both Old and New Calendar Churches, so all will celebrate [[Pascha]] (Easter) on the same day.
