[QUOTE="DanielH, post: 1560200, member: 18034"] I'm not good at memorizing lists, songs, or prayers, so I've used the same mnemonic since about 5th grade or so for tests, and I've used it to memorize prayers. Each, word, sentence, or verse you want to memorize gets a letter. For the trisagion prayers, and this is something I actually did, that looks like "IGOHGALGO" (In the name of, Glory to, O Heavenly King... etc.) I would write that vertically in the left margin of a piece of paper. Fortunately that makes a pronounceable word, if not you can tweak it and make it into a sentence. Then depending on how well you know each line of the prayer you can leave it as just those letters or after them add the first few words of that line. [/QUOTE]
