According to some local traditions "It is truly right" is chanted in second mode (see page 5) as a processional. Another troparion that is chanted in some places as a processional is "Awed by the beauty." On this page is the heirmological (brief) version, and on page 3 is the sticheraric (long) version. www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Mysteries.htm
