OCTOECHOS – DAY OF THE WEEK Tone 1 – 1st Canon – Ode 3 – Hymn to the Theotokos You conceived God in your womb through the Holy Spirit, and yet remained unconsumed, O Virgin.

Monday – Vespers / Tuesday - Matins: Aposticha – Tone 1 O VIRGIN, WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE: MOSES, WITH PROPHETIC EYES, BEHELD THE MYSTERY THAT WAS TO TAKE PLACE IN YOU, AS HE SAW THE BUSH THAT BURNED, YET WAS NOT CONSUMED; FOR, THE FIRE OF DIVINITY DID NOT CONSUME YOUR WOMB, O PURE ONE. THEREFORE, WE PRAY TO YOU AS THE MOTHER OF GOD, // TO ASK PEACE, AND GREAT MERCY FOR THE WORLD. Tone 2 – Saturday Vespers & Friday Vespers (repeated) – Dogmaticon Dogmatic THE SHADOW OF THE LAW PASSED WHEN GRACE CAME. AS THE BUSH BURNED, YET WAS NOT CONSUMED, SO THE VIRGIN GAVE BIRTH, YET REMAINED A VIRGIN. THE RIGHTEOUS SUN HAS RISEN INSTEAD OF A PILLAR OF FLAME.// INSTEAD OF MOSES, CHRIST, THE SALVATION OF OUR SOULS. Tone 3 – Wed Matins – 2nd Aposticha ON THE MOUNTAIN IN THE FORM OF A CROSS, MOSES STRETCHED OUT HIS HANDS TO THE HEIGHTS AND DEFEATED AMALEK. BUT WHEN YOU SPREAD OUT YOUR PALMS ON THE PRECIOUS CROSS, O SAVIOUR, YOU TOOK ME IN YOUR EMBRACE, SAVING ME FROM ENSLAVEMENT TO THE FOE. YOU GAVE ME THE SIGN OF LIFE, TO FLEE FROM THE BOW OF MY ENEMIES. THEREFORE, O WORD, // I BOW DOWN IN WORSHIP TO YOUR PRECIOUS CROSS. Tone 4 – Irmos of the First Canon – for the Resurrection (Sat Night/Sun Morn) ODE ONE: FIRST CANON IRMOS: IN ANCIENT TIMES ISRAEL WALKED DRY-SHOD ACROSS THE RED SEA, AND MOSES, LIFTING HIS HAND IN THE FORM OF THE CROSS, PUT THE POWER OF AMALEK TO FLIGHT IN THE DESERT.

Tone 4 – Thursday Matins – Sessional Hymns (Kathismata) JUST AS MOSES, O MASTER, BY THE STRENGTH OF YOUR RIGHT HAND, LED ISRAEL OUT OF BONDAGE THROUGH THE RED SEA, AND DROWNED PHARAOH IN THE WAVES, SO HAVE YOUR WISE DISCIPLES, BY THEIR MIRACLES, FORCED A PASSAGE THROUGH THE SEA OF BITTER GODLESSNESS, GUIDING THE PEOPLE TO YOU,// WORD WITHOUT BEGINNING, AND THE ONLY LOVER OF MANKIND. Tone 4 – Thursday Vespers – Lord I Call HOW DID THE LAWLESS ASSEMBLY DARE TO CONDEMN YOU, THE IMMORTAL JUDGE WHO GAVE THE LAW TO THE GOD-SEER MOSES IN THE WILDERNESS ? HOW COULD THEY LOOK WITHOUT FEAR AT THE LIFE OF ALL, KILLED ON THE CROSS ? HOW DID IT NOT ENTER THEIR MINDS// THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY GOD, AND MASTER OF CREATION ? Matins Dismissal Theotokion Hymns TUESDAY & SATURDAY MORNINGS: WE CRY OUT AND MAGNIFY YOU, O THEOTOKOS: YOU ARE THE UNCONSUMED BUSH IN WHICH MOSES SAW, AS A FLAME,// THE FIRE OF DIVINITY. Tone 5 – Saturday Vespers - Dogmaticon Theotokos Hymn IN THE RED SEA OF OLD, A TYPE OF THE VIRGIN BRIDE WAS PREFIGURED. THERE, MOSES DIVIDED THE WATERS; HERE, GABRIEL ASSISTED IN THE MIRACLE. THERE, ISRAEL CROSSED THE SEA WITHOUT GETTING WET, HERE, THE VIRGIN GAVE BIRTH TO CHRIST WITHOUT SEED. AFTER ISRAEL’S PASSAGE, THE SEA REMAINED IMPASSIBLE; AFTER EMMANUEL’S BIRTH, THE VIRGIN REMAINED A VIRGIN. O EVER EXISTING GOD, WHO APPEARED AS MAN,// O LORD: HAVE MERCY ON US. Apostikha – ONCE, IN THE DAYS OF MOSES THE PROPHET, A FIGURE OF YOUR CROSS WAS MADE MANIFEST, CONQUERING YOUR ENEMIES. NOW THAT WE HAVE YOUR CROSS ITSELF, WE BESEECH YOUR HELP: STRENGTHEN YOUR CHURCH, O LOVER OF MANKIND,// FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR GREAT MERCY.

R: O MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS: SAVE US. Tropars: Moses, great among the prophets, proclaimed you in symbols in days of old as the Tabernacle and the Table, the candlestick and vessel of Gold, signifying the Incarnation of the Most High from you, O Virgin Mother. Death attacked your Child, O Lady, and was put to death, and corruption, Adam’s curse, was abolished, for you brought forth the Life that delivers from corruption all who sing your praises, O Virgin Mother. The shadow of the law passed when the grace of your inconceivable Friday Sessional Hymn YOUR PEOPLE CONDEMNED YOU TO DEATH, O LORD, YET YOU ARE THE LIFE OF ALL: WITH THE ROD OF MOSES YOU LED THEM ON DRY GROUND THROUGH THE RED SEA, YET THEY NAILED YOU TO THE CROSS; YOU FED THEM WITH HONEY FROM THE ROCK, YET THEY GAVE YOU GALL. BUT YOU WILLINGLY ENDURED THESE THINGS TO FREE US FROM THE BONDAGE OF THE ENEMY.// O CHRIST OUR GOD: GLORY TO YOU.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures by Sean Delaine Griffin 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle by Sean Delaine Griffin Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Gail Lenhoff, Chair The monastic chroniclers of medieval Rus’ lived in a liturgical world. Morning, evening and night they prayed the “divine services” of the Byzantine Church, and this study is the first to examine how these rituals shaped the way they wrote and compiled the Povest’ vremennykh let (Primary Chronicle, ca. 12th century), the earliest surviving East Slavic historical record. My principal argument is that several foundational accounts of East Slavic history—including the tales of the baptism of Princess Ol’ga and her burial, Prince Vladimir’s conversion, the mass baptism of Rus’, and the martyrdom of Princes Boris and Gleb—have their source in the feasts of the liturgical year. The liturgy of the Eastern Church proclaimed a distinctively Byzantine myth of Christian origins: a sacred narrative about the conversion of the Roman Empire, the glorification of the emperor Constantine and empress Helen, and the victory of Christianity over paganism. In the decades following the conversion of Rus’, the chroniclers in Kiev learned these narratives from the church services and patterned their own tales of Christianization after them. The ii result was a myth of Christian origins for Rus’—a myth promulgated even today by the Russian Orthodox Church—that reproduced the myth of Christian origins for the Eastern Roman Empire articulated in the Byzantine rite.

    Matins of Great and Holy Saturday (Friday Night)

    Matins of Great and Holy Saturday (Friday Night) The priest, vested in a dark epitrachelion, opens the curtain, takes the censer, and begins: Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Reader: Amen. Glory to Thee, O God; glory to Thee! While the following prayers are being read, the priest censes the altar, the sanctuary, and the people. Reader: O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of Life, come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One. Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us! (3) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. O most-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. O Lord, cleanse us from our sins. O Master, pardon our transgressions. O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy name’s sake. Lord, have mercy. (3) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Priest: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
  • The Divine Office

    The Divine Office

    THE DIVINE OFFICE BRO. EMMANUEL NUGENT, 0. P. PIRITUAL life must be supplied by spiritual energy. An efficient source of spiritual energy is prayer. From Holy Scripture we learn that we should pray always. li In general, this signifies that whatever we do should be done for the honor and glory of God. In a more restricted sense, it requires that each day be so divided that at stated in­ tervals we offer to God acts of prayer. From a very early period it has been the custom of the Church, following rather closely the custom that prevailed among the Chosen People, and later among the Apostles and early Christians, to arrange the time for her public or official prayer as follows: Matins and Lauds (during the night), Prime (6 A.M.), Tierce (9 A.M.), Sext (12M.), None (3 P.M.), Vespers (6 .P. M.), Compline (nightfall). The Christian day is thus sanc­ tified and regulated and conformed to the verses of the Royal Psalmist: "I arose at midnight to give praise to Thee" (Matins), "Seven times a day have I given praise to Thee"1 (Lauds and the remaining hours). Each of the above divisions of the Divine Office is called, in liturgical language, an hour, conforming to the Roman and Jewish third, sixth, and ninth hour, etc. It is from this division of the day that the names are given to the various groups of prayers or hours recited daily by the priest when he reads his breviary. It is from the same source that has come the name of the service known to the laity as Sunday Vespers, and which constitutes only a portion of the Divine Office for that day.

Aposticha The stichera sung with psalm verses at the end of Vespers and Matins. These differ from the stichera at Psalm 140 (Vespers) and at the Praise Psalms (Matins), which are sung with fixed psalms, in that the psalm verses used (pripivs) vary with the day or feast, and do not end the singing of the whole psalm. See also stichery na stichovnych. Archieratikon Тhе book containing texts and rubrics for the solemn Hierarchical (a.k.a. Pontifical) Divine Liturgy. The Archieratikon also contains the sacrament of Ноlу Orders and special blessings and consecrations. Canon A system of nine odes (the Second Ode is sung only during Great Lent) sung at Matins after Psalm 50 and before the Praises. Each ode is connected traditionally with a scriptural canticle (see below for the nine scriptural canticles) and consists of an Irmos, a variable number of troparia and, on feasts, a katavasia. After the Third Ode a sidalen is usually sung, and after the Sixth Ode a kontakion and ikos, and after the Ninth Ode, the Svitelen is sung. The Canon has its own system of eight tones. Domatikon A theotokion sung after “Now…” (or “Glory… Now…”) at the end of Psalms 140, 141, 129, and 116 at Vespers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and on the eve of a Polyeleos saint or saints with a vigil in the same tone as the last sticheron of the saint (at “Glory…”).

    BYZANTINE CAMEOS AND THE AESTHETICS OF THE ICON by James A. Magruder, III A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2014 © 2014 James A. Magruder, III All rights reserved Abstract Byzantine icons have attracted artists and art historians to what they saw as the flat style of large painted panels. They tend to understand this flatness as a repudiation of the Classical priority to represent Nature and an affirmation of otherworldly spirituality. However, many extant sacred portraits from the Byzantine period were executed in relief in precious materials, such as gemstones, ivory or gold. Byzantine writers describe contemporary icons as lifelike, sometimes even coming to life with divine power. The question is what Byzantine Christians hoped to represent by crafting small icons in precious materials, specifically cameos. The dissertation catalogs and analyzes Byzantine cameos from the end of Iconoclasm (843) until the fall of Constantinople (1453). They have not received comprehensive treatment before, but since they represent saints in iconic poses, they provide a good corpus of icons comparable to icons in other media. Their durability and the difficulty of reworking them also makes them a particularly faithful record of Byzantine priorities regarding the icon as a genre. In addition, the dissertation surveys theological texts that comment on or illustrate stone to understand what role the materiality of Byzantine cameos played in choosing stone relief for icons. Finally, it examines Byzantine epigrams written about or for icons to define the terms that shaped icon production.

    Studia Ceranea 10, 2020, p. 425–444 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.10.21 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Hristo Saldzhiev (Stara Zagora) https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4116-6600 The Apocryphal Bulgarian Sermon of Saint John Chrysostom on the Оrigin of Paulicians and Manichean Dimensions of Medieval Paulician Identity ne of the most interesting documents concerning the early history of Pau- O licianism in Bulgarian lands is the apocryphal Saint John Chrysostom’s ser- mon on how the Paulicians came to be1. Its text is known entirely or partly from eight copies; the earliest ones are dated back to the 16th century2. The best-known variant is the copy from the Adžar collection N326 (17th century), preserved at the Bulgarian National Library3. It was found and published for the first time by Jor- dan Ivanov, the discoverer of the sermon, in 1922. Since then the Adžar and other copies have been published or quoted in different studies and research works4. The meaningful differences between the different copies are insignificant, except for the final passage. According to the Adžar copy, St. John Chrysostom from Petrič went to the Bulgarian land to search for the two “disciples of the devil”, but accord- ing to the others, he sent to the Bulgarian land delegates who brought “disciples of the devil” to Petrič5. That gives a reason to think that the copies transmitted the text of the initial original relatively correctly. According to Anisava Miltenova 1 Below in the text I will refer to it as “the sermon”. 2 А. МИЛТЕНОВА, Разобличението на дявола-граматик.

Having all-gloriously learned things divine, * thundering forth, O blessed one, * thou didst rouse those sleeping in the graves of vanity, * who cast off mortality; * and thou didst sound the clarion * of the saving Word of God, * Who dwelt among mortals * and hath transformed those held fast in Hades, * whom thou hast made precious vessels * of Jesus the Master * and Savior of our souls, * Who hath slain death. As a bearer of light, * as preacher of God, * as a divinely chosen witness * to the sufferings of Christ * and a fellow heir and partaker * of the glory which is to come, * in that thou art with the Master, * ever delighting in the effulgence which floweth forth * from the never-waning Light, * O divinely eloquent Ananias, * by thy supplications deliver from dark misfortunes * those who now celebrate thy splendid feast.
