  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Byzantine Liturgy and The
    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.

  • The Priesthood Series Article 15 – Deacons (Part 2) the Duties of A
    The Priesthood Series Article 15 – Deacons (Part 2) The duties of a deacon during the Mass are ways of service of the priest and the sacred mysteries being celebrated. The deacon never does anything during Mass related to leading or “presiding”; it is always roles of service. The deacon wears a stole from his left shoulder to right hip, and a dalmatic. A dalmatic is distinct from a priest’s chasuble by two common elements: 1) the dalmatic has sleeves, and 2) it has two vertical decorative stripes running from top to bottom, which are often connected by one or two horizontal stripes. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal explains a deacon’s role at Mass: “After the Priest, the Deacon, in virtue of the sacred Ordination he has received, holds first place among those who minister in the celebration of the Eucharist. For the sacred Order of the Diaconate has been held in high honor in the Church even from the early time of the Apostles. At Mass the Deacon has his own part in proclaiming the Gospel, from time to time in preaching God’s Word [i.e. the homily], in announcing the intentions of the Universal Prayer, in ministering to the Priest [i.e. assisting him], in preparing the altar and in serving the celebration of the Sacrifice, in distributing the Eucharist to the faithful, especially under the species of wine, and from time to time in giving instructions regarding the people’s gestures and posture” (GIRM, 94, emphasis mine). At the beginning and end of Mass the deacon kisses the altar along with the priest, as a sign of his also being ordained in persona Christi, for he too is conformed to Christ and ministers in the name of Christ the servant.

  • The Holy Rosary
    The Holy Rosary Where did the Rosary Come From? Church tradition says that a thousand years ago a missionary named Dominic was trying to teach people about God and was having a difficult time with the people he was trying to teach. Dominic was praying for guidance on what to do. And then he received a visit from the Virgin Mary. She gave him a wreath of roses which represented the rosary. Rosary means “wreath of roses”. The Virgin Mary taught him about the Rosary and the how to pray the Rosary. She told him to "Pray my Rosary and teach it to your people. That prayer will never fail". So he taught the people how to pray the rosary and taught them the mysteries of the rosary as the Virgin Mary taught him, about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. St. Dominic found great success in this new devotion, and he brought many thousands of non believers to believe in God. And so St. Dominic is usually given credit for the origin of praying the rosary very much as we know it today. And there have been over a dozen other times that Our Blessed Mother came down from heaven to let the world know that we should pray the rosary. Why We Pray The Rosary We pray the rosary to remind us that God loved us so much that He selected the Blessed Virgin Mary to become the mother of Jesus and that Jesus would sacrifice His life for us on the cross. A few good reasons for you to pray the rosary: - The rosary is another spiritual weapon that we have to fight against Satan.

Alciviadis Calivas, Th.D., Pages 9-20 of this booklet. SACRAMENTS: AN EASTERN ORTHODOX UNDERSTANDING To begin with, the word sacrament is found nowhere in the Scriptures. The Latin term sacramentum, meaning "to make holy", was a legal term belonging to the language of Roman jurisprudence. It referred to the oath tak- en by a Roman soldier upon his enlisting in the army. Given the above, Tertullian (160-225 AD) applied the word to Baptism, asserting that each Christian's reception of the rite thus enlists him in Christ's army. While the use of the word sacrament came to be widely accepted in the West, Eastern Christianity did not ac- cept Tertullian's application of it.

  • Titles and Symbols of the Eucharist Cards
    Titles and Symbols of the Eucharist Cards TEACHER RESOURCE Eucharist It is an action of thanksgiving to God. The Greek word eucharistein, which means “thanksgiving,” recalls the Jewish liturgies of the Temple. These blessings proclaimed God’s works: creation, redemption, and sanctification. The Temple liturgy was called the Todah, which means “thanksgiving,” and consisted of a sacred meal of bread and wine. (CCC 1328) The Lord’s Supper The Lord’s Supper is connected with the supper that the Lord took with His disciples on the eve of His Passion. There, Jesus took bread and wine and transformed them into His Body and Blood, given to all as spiritual food. It also looks forward to the wedding feast of the Lamb in the heavenly Jerusalem. (CCC 1329) UNIT 5, LESSON 3 271 Breaking of Bread Jesus used this rite, part of a Jewish meal, when as master of the table, He blessed and distributed the bread, above all at the Last Supper. It is in the breaking of the bread that His disciples recognized Him on the road to Emmaus after His Resurrection, and it is this expression that the first Christians used to designate their Eucharistic assemblies. Similarly, today, Christ is revealed and made present Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the bread and wine, the essential signs of the Eucharist. (CCC 1329) Eucharistic Assembly The Eucharist is celebrated amid the assembly of the faithful, the visible expression of the Church. All of God’s people gather together to partake of the one bread and one cup. The assembly of God’s people today recalls the Qahal of the Old Testament, which refers to the assembly of Israelites at Passover and in their desert wanderings.

  • The Occult Teachings of the Christ According to the Secret Doctrine By: Josephine Ransom

No. 179 The Occult Teachings of the Christ According to the Secret Doctrine by: Josephine Ransom The Blavatsky Lecture, delivered before the Annual Convention of the Theosophical Society in England, 1933 The references are to the original Secret Doctrine by H.P.Blavatsky , published in 1888 Published in 1933 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India “For the teachings of Christ were Occult teachings, which could only be explained at Initiation” [ Secret Doctrine, Volume 2, Page 241] I In presenting my theme I must make it clear that I have drawn solely upon The Secret Doctrine for information. I have not sought elsewhere for corroboration or amplification of any point, save a few quotations from the Bible and have made but few comments myself. I leave it to the students to seek their own answers to the question that must inevitably arise in their minds as the story unfolds. For the sake of a sequence these questions are essential: (1) Who was the Christ? (2) Who was Jesus? [Page 2] (3) What were the Occult Teachings of the Christ? (1) Who was the Christ? The answer comes clearly:“The Logos is Christos.....” (S.D. 1, 241) “......There are three kinds of Light in Occultism .....(1) The Abstract and Absolute Light, which is Darkness; (2) The Light of the Manifested — Unmanifested, called by some the Logos; and (3) The latter Light reflected in the Dhyân Chohans, the minor Logoi — the Elohim, collectively — who, in their turn, shed it on the objective Universe.....” “The Occultists in the East call this Light Daiviprakriti, and in the West the Light of Christos.

  • The Doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity: Key Points
    The Doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity: Key Points There is but one, true God. There are three Persons in the one God and each of these Persons is fully God. Nobody made God. He always was, is now, and always will be. The mystery of the Holy Trinity is the mystery of God in Himself. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is the most fundamental and essential truth of the Faith. The sacred mystery of the Holy Trinity is the source of all the other mysteries of the Faith. Sacred mysteries are not things we can’t know anything about, but holy realities that we cannot know everything about. The word Trinity is a contraction of two words: Tri – Unity. It was coined by the Church to help us better understand the sacred mystery of the three divine Persons in one God. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is a revealed truth. Without God’s direct revelation, we could not know that the one God is a Trinity of Persons, cf. Matthew 28:19 Nature answers the question what something is. What the divine Persons are is God. Person gives us the answer who someone is. Who God is, is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is why when somebody is baptized, the formula that must be used is: I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. None of the three divine Persons is either of the others; each is wholly Himself. Yet each is fully God.

  • Keeping Secrets and Making Christians*
    Keeping Secrets and Making Christians* Catechesis and the Revelation of the Christian Mysteries Daniel L. Schwartz “Let none of the catechumens be present; none of the uninitiated; none of those who are not able to pray with us. Take note of one another! The doors!”1 This exclamation of the deacon marks a turning point in the fourth century version of the liturgy of St. James. With this cry, the public por- tion of the weekly service ended, and from that point on, only those who had been properly initiated into the church through catechism and baptism were allowed to remain. The Apostolic Constitutions urged the clergy to follow the proper procedure for ensuring the secrecy of the service after the uninitiated left: “Let the sub-deacons stand at the door of the men and the deacons at the door of the women, so that no one may depart and the door may not be opened at the time of the offering, even if it is for one of the faithful.”2 In short, it was preferable to exclude fully initiated Christians from the secret portions of the service, rather than to run the risk of disclos- ing the mysteries even to catechumens, some of whom may have regularly attended the public portion of the liturgy for years. What could motivate such a rigorous exclusivity? The question is particularly interesting given the frequency with which Christians and their scriptures spoke in universal and inclusive terms about the availability of Christian salvation. In so far as fourth century Christian authors gave both the idea of secrecy and the idea of universality some of its fullest expression in the Late Antique period, they will provide the basis for the analysis of this development.

  • Project Nazareth Sacred Mysteries Sample Lesson
    A PROJECT NAZARETH | SACRED MYSTERIES | WEEK 27 27TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME THE PARABLE OF THE TENANTS This week we will learn how Jesus told stories to his disciples, or followers. The stories Jesus told are known as parables. Parables use examples from daily life to teach an important lesson about God’s love and the ways we can be more like Jesus. Some people rejected Jesus and his parables, others used them to learn and grow as disciples. One of these parables is known as the “Parable of the Wicked Tenants.” In this parable, we learn about how Jesus is the “cornerstone”, or foundation, of our Church. PRIMARY TEACHING OBJECTIVES People often reject God’s prophets, even His own Son, Jesus. Scripture Resources: Matthew 21:33-37; Isaiah 5:1-7 Catechism Resources: CCC 679 Jesus is the cornerstone of the Church.
