Hello,
I am curious how one calculates Alleluia Days during fasting periods other than the Great Fast and the Dormition Fast (which to my understanding has no Alleluia Days). I have seen several lists online and these are often contradictory.
Thank you.

Day of Alleluia is one where the saint is just three stichera and no Doxastikon in the menaion. The reason there is variety is because Day of Alleluia once upon a time was the default daily format except for days where the saint was Doxology rank and higher, being days when Theos Kyrios was sung. Around 1100, there were about 180 days that were this format (that is specified as DoA or not having a troparion in the Synaxarion). In the Old Believer calendar, there are still some listed in October, January, April, and July (those months being outside fasting periods).

Hi, Hope you all are doing well! sorry to disturb you guys but I just wanna know that can you please explain how to correctly determine Alleluia Days during fasting periods other than the Great Fast and Dormition Fast, since many lists seem to conflict?

Days of Alleluia in the minor fasts can only occur Monday - Friday, and suppose 1) no Feast of Great Doxology occurs, 2) the pastor/rector/hegumem has no need of saying a memorial Divine Liturgy for the dead. If either occur there is no Day of Alleluia. In modern practice, usually the first day of the Apostles and Nativity Fasts are Days of Alleluia. The first day of the Dormition Fast is the Feast of the Procession of the Cross (Doxology Rank).
