  • Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: an Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios
    Issue 5 2016 Funding for Vexillum provided by The Medieval Studies Program at Yale University Issue 5 Available online at http://vexillumjournal.org/ Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: An Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios JUDITH SHANIKA PELPOLA STANFORD UNIVERSITY The Thessaloniki Epitaphios, a late Byzantine embroidered textile, is an important piece to consider in the study of Byzantine art and its role in liturgy. In this paper, I undertake a stylistic and formalistic analysis of the inscriptions, depiction of the humanity of Christ, and treatment of time in the Thessaloniki Epitaphios to determine if the Epitaphios had liturgical rather than simply symbolic functions, thus helping contextualize Byzantine art within the Western canon. Analyzing the potential for the liturgical function of this piece additionally sheds light onto how Byzantine art itself should be classified with regards to the Western canon. Introduction The role of late Byzantine pieces in liturgical rites has been subject to a longstanding debate in the field, with one of the most recent subjects of this discussion being the Thessaloniki Epitaphios (see Figure 1). A silk on linen textile, the Epitaphios originates from Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1300.1 Located on a trade route that connected Constantinople and Durazzo on the Adriatic, Thessaloniki was a key commercial port and site for religious pilgrimage in late Byzantium.2 Several stylistic features, in particular the expressiveness of the figures, suggest the Epitaphios was produced during the late Byzantine Palaiologan Dynasty (1259-1453), under which Thessaloniki reached its cultural height, and when there was a significant emphasis in the culture on liturgical rites.3 Thus, artworks created during the Palaiologan Dynasty invites scrutiny with respect to their roles as active participants in liturgical rites.

  • Little Compline for Akathist Saturday
    The Office of Little Compline with the Akathist Canon and Hymn **As served on the fifth Friday of Great Lent** **Instructions** An icon of the Theotokos (preferably the one described in the Synaxarion below) is placed on a stand in the middle of the solea. The candles are lit and the church is semi-illumined. The censer is used only for the stases of the Akathist Hymn. The curtain and Holy Doors are closed until the priest begins the first stasis of the Akathist Hymn. The priest wears a blue epitrachelion over his exorasson and starts Little Compline in front of the icon. Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Choir: Amen. Priest: Glory to Thee, O God, glory to Thee. O heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art in all places, and fillest all things, Treasury of good things, and Giver of life, come, and dwell in us, and cleanse us from every stain; and save our souls, O good One. People: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy Name’s sake. Lord, have mercy. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.

  • Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 from His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH
    Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 From His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH The Royal Hours & Typika are served on the morning of Friday, January 04, which is the day BEFORE the Paramon (Eve). Therefore, we sing the Apolytikion of the Forefeast: Be thou ready, Zebulon… (HTM Horologion 369, Nassar 433). The Royal Hours may each be offered in either of the following orders: Consecutively, starting at 9:00 AM in the following manner: start the First Royal Hour with “Blessed is our God,” and OMIT the Dismissal at the end of each Hour (except the last), and OMIT the section between “Blessed is our God” to right before “Come let us worship” in the Third, Sixth and Ninth Hours. SIMPLY PUT, OMIT THE BOXED PORTIONS OF THE TEXT. At their usual times (6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, Noon and 3:00 PM), with the Ninth Royal Hour and Typika being served at 3:00 PM, followed immediately by Daily Vespers of Paramon (Eve) of Theophany. Alternatively, Vespers may be celebrated in the early evening hours. The Priest performs the Great Censing of the entire church at the start of the First and Ninth Royal Hours, and the Small Censing from the Beautiful Gate (Holy Doors) – like he would before the Great Entrance in Divine Liturgy – at the start of the Third and Sixth Royal Hours. NOTE: We do NOT celebrate Divine Liturgy on Friday, January 04. Our Patriarchate of Antioch reminds us that we follow this same pattern at Pascha, when Royal Hours are served on Holy Friday, and Divine Liturgies are celebrated only on the weekend.

  • Our Home As Our 'Little Church' on the Road To
    OUR HOME AS OUR ‘LITTLE CHURCH’ ON THE ROAD TO PASCHA Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Christ is in our midst! It goes without saying that this year’s journey to Pascha has been unprecedented. To help us through these unusual times, the Church will celebrate these services in a limited number of locations with just a few servers present and will live-stream it so all of us can participate virtually. This is a real blessing – but we also know it lacks the sense of participation we experience by being physically present in services. We think there is a way that can help you and your family more actively participate in this year’s journey to Pascha – it is to turn our homes into the ‘little churches’ that the Fathers teach us they are. To help you in doing this, this letter provides you with some practical suggestions and guidance that will appear in a single, visible location on the OCA website. You may in fact discover fresh and meaningful dimensions of this journey you hadn’t experienced before. And next year, when we are all back to our familiar holy week and pascha, we may find ourselves saying “remember last year, when we did ___ at home, wouldn’t it be nice to continue that home practice in addition to our divine services in church.” To help us on this path, we first provide some general suggestions and then follow up with specific suggestions for each day of Holy Week and Pascha. What We Are Seeking to Capture in Our “Little Church” Activities Our normal journey to Pascha is more than just a series of services, it is an epiphany providing us with: a sense of the sacred, a sense of direction, a strong sense of expectation, a rhythm with a sense of excellerating movement towards the Kingdom of heaven.

  • The Amomos in the Byzantine Chant: a Diachronical Approach with Emphasis on Musical Settings of the 19Th and 20Th Centuries
    DOI: 10.2478/ajm-2018-0002 Artes. Journal of Musicology no. 17-18 2018 24-73 The Amomos in the Byzantine chant: a diachronical approach with emphasis th th on musical settings of the 19 and 20 centuries DIMOS PAPATZALAKIS Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Greece∗ Abstract: The book of the Psalms constitutes the main source from where the Offices of the Orthodox church draw their stable parts. It has been diachronically one of the most used liturgical books of the cathedral and the monastic rite. In this paper we focus on the Psalm 118, which is well known under the designation “Amomos”. In the first part of our study we look for the origin of the book of the Psalms generally. Afterwards we present the Offices in which the Amomos is included, starting from the Byzantine era and the use of the Amomos in the cathedral and the monastic services. Then, we negotiate the question of its use in the post-Byzantine era. In the next section we quote the most important settings of the Byzantine, post-Byzantine and new- Byzantine composers in Constantinople, Smyrna and Thessaloniki, as well as some evidence of their lives and their musical works. In the next section we introduce some polyprismatic analyses for the verses of the first stanza of the Amomos, which are set to music in 19th and 20th centuries. After some comparative musicological analyses of the microform of the compositions or interpretations, we comment on the music structure of the settings of Amomos in their liturgical context. Our study concludes with some main observations, as well as a list of the basic sources used to write this paper.
