  • THE FLYING HODEGETRIA the MIRACULOUS ICON AS BEARER of SACRED SPACE by Alexei Lidov
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Thunø, Erik ; Wolf, Gerhard (Hrsgg.): The miraculous image in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Papers from a conference held at the Accademia di Danimarca in collaboration with the Bibliotheca Hertziana (Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte), Rome, 31 May - 2 June 2003, Rome 2004, S. 273-304 (Analecta Romana Instituti Danici : Supplementum ; 35) THE FLYING HODEGETRIA THE MIRACULOUS ICON AS BEARER OF SACRED SPACE by Alexei Lidov Even now, in contemporary Orthodox churches, one may notice a significant phenomenon at the special services in front of the miraculous icons. An icon defines the structure of a particular sacred space. Modern icons as well as their Byzantine prototypes are inseparable from the spatial context estab­ lished around the image. It seems important to make a clear statement that the miracle happens not inside a venerated panel but in front of the image. The icon is working as mediator, or channel of the divine energy. And the en­ tire miracle­working process might be described as the radiation of the holy power concentrated in a selected icon and emanating through it into a par­ ticular sacred environment, which has been shaped by different means. The various arts and activities ­ whether architectural setting, iconic decoration, pictorial devices, chanting, dramaturgy of lighting, burning of incense, and numerous liturgical rituals ­ should be considered as individual elements subordinated to the creation of a sacred space. All together, including the miraculous image itself, form a unique spatial milieu. It is noteworthy that this particular sacred space is relevant not merely to the church environment but also to any urban or natural milieu which could be temporarily made sacred through religious processions, special performances and liturgical rites.

  • Alexei Lidov Research Centre for Eastern Christian Culture, Moscow
    Alexei Lidov Research Centre for Eastern Christian Culture, Moscow SPATIAL ICONS. THE MIRACULOUS PERFORMANCE WITH THE HODEGETRIA OF CONSTANTINOPLE In the present paper I will argue that the Hierotopic vision and approach may reveal a new layer of subjects never discussed before in the history of Byzantine art and culture1. It concerns iconic images created in space, or in more traditional art-historical terms, a spatial ‘iconography’ beyond pictorial schemes. The combination of certain images in a church, or one image in ritual context, could create another iconic image, not formally depicted, but made implicit in a given sacred space between or around the actual pictures. Such icon creation is connected with an important and challenging premise: in the Byzantine minds, the icon was not merely an object and a flat picture on panel or wall, but a spatial vision emanating from the depiction into the environment in front of it. The Byzantine beholder could perceive the im- ages as legitimate and recognizable icons in the space, although they were performed beyond material objects. Elsewhere I have discussed some projects of such spatial icons within the Byzantine church. It concerns the Mandylion and Keramion paradigm (fig. 1) as well as the project of spatial imagery initiated by Leo the Wise in Hagia Sophia and2. For the present paper a slightly different phenomenon has been selected — a spatial image which was created not inside the church but in the urban environment. It deals with a representative case of the Hodegetria of Constantinople and its Tuesday miraculous performance3. Among several ritu- als with miraculous icons in the capital of the Byzantine Empire this rite was undoubtedly the most important, the best known, and highly influential in the Eastern and Western traditions of the icon veneration.

  • A Study for Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying with the Icons By
    A Study Guide for Behold the Beauty of the Lord Praying with Icons by Henri J.M. Nouwen 1987, 2007 Notre Dame, Indiana, Ave Maria Press, 116 pp. (softcover) THE WORD ICON AS IT OCCURS IN THE SCRIPTURES The word icon is a transliteration of the Greek word εἰκὼν and is found in the New Testament, particularly in the letters of the apostle Paul. While most Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians are familiar with the biblical theme of Jesus as the Word of God made flesh (John 1:1-14), Orthodox Christians also celebrate the biblical theme of Jesus as the Icon or Image of God. The icons found in Orthodox Churches are a celebration of the fact that Jesus Christ is indeed the Word of God made flesh and that anyone who has seen Jesus has seen the Father (John 12:45 and 14:8-12). As the 7th Ecumenical Council held in the city of Nicea in 787AD proclaimed, icons are in color what the Scriptures are in words: witnesses to the incarnation, the fact that God has come among us as a person whom we can see, touch and hear. In fact, in the traditional language of the Church, icons are not simply painted but written and an iconographer is "one who writes icons." Below are listed four of the places that the word icon is found in the original Greek text of the New Testament. Normally translated by the English words "image" or "likeness" in the New King James Version, the New Revised Standard Version and the New International Version, in the texts given below the transliterated word “icon” has been left in the text.

  • Windows Into Heaven: Russian Icons of the Brown Collection Regan Denarde Shrumm Abstract
    The Arbutus Review Vol. 3, No 1 (2012) Scholarly Articles: Shrumm Windows into Heaven: Russian Icons of the Brown Collection Regan Denarde Shrumm Abstract: In North America, Russian icons are not often seen as distinct from other religious artefacts. Yet, while the art of the Byzantine Empire and its affiliation with the Orthodox Church did influence the look of Russian icons, and Russian artists initially followed Byzantine icon guidelines in their production, they focused on optimistic rather than tragic images. By examining the crucifixion scene on three Russian icons from the Brown Collection at the University of Victoria Art Collections, this article explores the distinct use and importance of icons to the Russian people. Key Terms: Icons, Russian icons, Byzantine Empire, Old Believers, Eastern Orthodox Church, Hodegetria, Brown Collection, crucifixion, twelve festival scenes, Christ, Virgin Mary, veneration. Introduction In 1990, Bruce and Dorothy Brown donated a set of fourteen Russian icons to the University of Victoria‟s Maltwood Gallery. Although the Browns bequeathed the collection in order to “expose students to documents of historic interest or beauty,” the public has not seen these acquisitions for over 30 years (University of Victoria Units and Collection, n.d.). This paper focuses on three Russian brass icons with crucifixion scenes from the Brown Collection. Analyzing these icons‟ imagery and their historical context reveals how they differ from other icon traditions and provides the reader with a glimpse into how these objects may have been used and valued by the Russian people. In this paper, icons are described as a representation of a sacred figure customarily painted on a wooden surface, although cast metal icons are also common.

  • Theophanes the Greek (Ca. 1330-Ca.1410)
    Theophanes the Greek (ca. 1330-ca.1410) Theophanes the Greek. From left to right: The Dormition of the Virgin (1392); John the Baptist and The Virgin (from the Annunciation Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin -- 1405); The Virgin of the Don (1392). The Dormition of the Virgin and The Virgin of the Don are painted on both sides of one panel. Theophanes the Greek is believed to have been born in the 1330's and to have died sometime between 1405 and 1409. He had been well read in religious literature and art before his arrival in Novgorod around 1378. During his self- contained, quiet, short-lived stay in Novgorod, Theophanes painted famous murals in the church of Transfiguration on the Ilyin Street. His works are also present in the Church-on-Volotovo-Field and in the Cathedral of St. Theodore Stratilates. After working in Kostroma in 1390, Theophanes moved to Moscow in 1395 as it was entering a new stage of history attempting to lead Russia to unification of divided lands and to the end of the Mongol yoke. Theophanes' first Muscovite work was the Book of Gospels of Boyar Koshka, for which he painted miniatures and which would later be used as the basis of the Khitrovo Gospels. Although Theophanes must have painted many icons throughout his life, scholars believe that the following nine are indisputably his: The Dormition of the Virgin, The Virgin of the Don (both 1392) and The Saviour in Glory, The Virgin, St. John Chrysostom, Archangel Gabriel, St. Paul, St. Basil, and St. John the Evangelist, all of which were painted in 1405 for the Deesis tier in Moscow's Cathedral of the Annunciation.

  • Religious Identification Through the Calendar. Kyivan and Moscow Great Feasts in the Late 18Th Century

This article is “Studi Slavistici”, xvi, 2019, 1: 23-34 distributed under the terms of the cc by-nc-nd 4.0 doi: 10.13128/Studi_Slavis-24445 Submitted on 2018, December 19th issn 1824-7601 (online) Accepted on 2019, March 21st Articles Maksym Yaremenko Religious Identification Through the Calendar. Kyivan and Moscow Great Feasts in the Late 18th Century The creation and development of the synodal church in 18th-century Russia required the different religious cultures and traditions that still existed in the various regions of the Empire to be unified. Unifying the church calendars was considered an important step towards integrating the Synodal church. The use of identical Menologies was meant to ensure the respect of Orthodox accuracy and to become a firm basis for the formation of equal religious practices. This paper aims to examine and compare the lists of the greatest feasts of Kyivan and Moscow Menologies of the late 18th century. I will focus on the end of the 18th century for two main reasons: first, it was almost 80 years since the Synod had begun to exert pres- sure on the Kyivan elites to unify their editions of church books with the Muscovite edi- tions: it is interesting to analyze how far the Russian authorities succeeded in implementing their orders, thereby unifying the Ukrainian and Russian Churches. Second, by the end of the 18th century, the Cave Monastery, where the printing house operated, had already been placed under the control of the Kyivan Metropolitan. At the same time, being a stavropigial monastery, it was subordinate only to the Synod, and was thus an autonomous ‘player’ in ecclesiastical policy with respect to the Metropolia.

    or the Eastern Slavs, as for all Christian peoples, the cult of the icon was synonymous with Byzantium, the mighty medieval empire with Constantinople — “The New Rome” — as Fits capital. From the 4th century on, Byzantium exerted a political and religious influence on the whole of Christian Europe. In the Byzantine Empire, the veneration of icons became an integral part of the Holy Liturgy, though the practice only won official approval after the dramatic events of the years of iconoclasm (8th-9th centuries). The struggle between the iconoclasts and the supporters of icons led to the formulation of a doctrinal justification for the icon’s role in religious ceremonies, and created an aesthetic of decorative art that has come to be known as the “Byzantine” style. It changed markedly through the centuries, but the religious painting of every Orthodox country preserved the “Byzantine tradition” for centuries to come. The Eastern Slavs were introduced to Byzantine culture in the 10th century. Their conversion to Christianity coincided with the most brilliant epoch of Byzantine art, which was reflected in the artistic culture of the young feudal state of Kievan Rus, in the physical appearance of Kiev, and in the country’s first stone church, the Tithe Church (989-96), so called because one tenth of the principality’s revenue went to its upkeep. 1.

  • Mauro Salis the Virgin Hodegetria Iconography in the Crown Of
    Mauro Salis The Virgin Hodegetria Iconography in the Crown of Aragon in the Early Modern Period Canons, Allotropies and Variants UDC: 7.04:75.051(450.88)”15/16” Mauro Salis University of Cagliari, Italy [email protected] This paper aims to present iconographic modifications of the Virgin Hodegetria representations in the Crown of Aragon (a composite monarchy extended from Southern Italy to the Iberian Peninsula) in the early modern period. The time span ranging from the mid-15th to the early decades of the 16th century is the crucial period for the wide-range spread of the Ho- degetria cult between East and West, and during which period occurred an iconographic and worship transfer that produced allotropies and variants. It is only after the fall of Constantinople that new ways of representing the Hodegetria appeared on the Italian Peninsula and in Sicily, along with the Holy icon replicas: the depiction which was set as a standard is the one with two old men (Calogeri) carrying on their shoulders the chest with the Hodegetria, sometimes as an icon, sometimes as a real body. Because of her commitment as protector against the enemy, the Virgin Hodegetria was invoked by all professionals re- lated to the sea and so, during the 16th century, occurred two transfer phenomena: her identification with Madonna del Buon Cammino and her determination as protector against the Barbary slavery. It is through these new operational functions that the cult spread beyond the traditional “Byzantine” Southern Italy regions, such as Liguria, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands and the Iberian Peninsula.

    Remaking Terra Cosacorum: Kozak Revival and Kozak Collective Identity in Independent Ukraine by Huseyin Oylupinar A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies and Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Huseyin Oylupinar, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation was undertaken to test the premise whether the modern Kozak revival was or could be used as a platform by the Ukrainian national cultural establishment for renegotiation, reformation, and consolidation of national identity in post-Soviet Ukraine. Its primary aim was to observe the relevance and function of deeds, images, traditions, memories and spaces—that is, the symbolic sources of the Kozak forefathers in addressing the problems of national consolidation in the present time. Secondarily, it was to explore the tools used in communication, propagation and negotiation of Kozak identity in Ukraine today. To observe the functions of Kozak symbolic sources, the dissertation traces them from the late 17th century to the fall of the Soviet Union. To investigate the tools used for communicating, propagating and negotiating Kozak identity the dissertation examines modern-day Kozak communities, and Kozak physical and cultural spaces. Working on the presumptions —that post-Soviet Ukraine would require national consolidation, —that bridging the Kozak past into the present would constitute an essential process of national consolidation, and —that via Kozak symbolic sources nationally oriented Ukrainians would efficiently rediscover, reinterpret and regenerate the Kozak identity, an examination of the primary and secondary sources, and the original oral narratives gathered in the course of on-site fieldwork demonstrated ii convincingly that the Kozak revival has been an active and effective tool of the Ukrainian national establishment in negotiating and propagating national identity in independent Ukraine.
