I wait for it. Every year it is the same the Gospel of Luke and you will find the Good News of questions from the “Christer” Christians. (Those who only salvation in Jesus Christ. come to church for the cultural experience of Christmas and Easter and maybe a couple of other main feast days). This apparent Freudian slip has some serious implications. “When is ‘Greek Easter’ this year?” Deep down in my For some who take our doctrines, dogmas, and canons out comedic sense of life, I’d like to answer “well it’s after the of context and use them as battle axes to hammer away at Chinese Easter but never before the Mexican one.” Of our non-Orthodox neighbors, then a holy feast can indeed course, I bite my tongue and give the polite answer. The be turned into perverted and distorted theology and become odd part of this dilemma is that these kinds of questions the “feast of the denunciation.” There are many among us come from Orthodox Christians who are disconnected from who try to hunt out every perceived heresy hiding under the regular life of the church. There is a benign ignorance every religious rock and denounce it. They rebuff any and religious apathy about matters of the Faith. thought of refining their own perception and understanding: This denunciating inquisition by the self- righteous can ruin For all who use the phrase “Greek Easter” or such phrases lives, ruin the way we love others; ruin church programs; as a “Greek Baptism” or a “Greek wedding,” let it be known ruin our Orthodox understanding of God, who in Jesus that there are no such events or sacraments. There is an Christ does not denounce but instead offers life to those Orthodox Christian Pascha, Baptism and Wedding. who wish to believe and take up the cross and follow Him. Such ethnocentric phraseology betrays the nature of our We are the Church of the Annunciation. We are the Church universal Orthodox Faith which includes all baptized of the Good News of the Gospel and the Holy Tradition of Orthodox Christians, and doesn’t narrow it to one particular the Fathers who preached and taught metanoia, love, mercy people or ethnicity. It opens the wrong door for many and philanthropy… as well as justice. We are the Church of potential converts to ask; “Do you have to be Greek to be the Resurrection which proclaims the Glorious Third Day Greek Orthodox?” It is like asking a Roman Catholic, “Do Resurrection of our Lord who defeated our own death by you have to be Italian to be a Roman Catholic?” The dying and giving us new life. answer to both questions is a resounding NO! Now you may be saying; “Aren't you denouncing the people To many “secular/cultural” Orthodox Christians who are who made their seemingly silly errors?” I’m not denouncing often that in name only, our liturgical services are seen as or condemning. I’m only pointing out unnecessary errors by historical re-enactments of the past glories of Imperial those disconnected from their Faith to the Mother Church Byzantium. Our living church which is filled with the which nourishes our souls and sanctifies our earthly life. presence of the Holy Trinity is seen as a museum of sorts Even with all the errors and church disconnection, there is invoking “intellectual” arguments about iconography, music still hope of personal revival of faith. The Mother Church and architecture. So much spiritual vitality is unfortunately NEVER gives up on Her children, always calling them back missed when the church becomes merely a museum of to Her embrace. As St. John Chrysostom’s Paschal sermon liturgical methods and form. reminds those of faith and those lacking in faith “The Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first. He gives Like many of my fellow priests, I have collected some rather rest to him who comes at the eleventh hour as well as to curious questions and comments from disconnected him who has toiled from the first”. The Paschal praise Orthodox Christians who over the last few years have called hymns (Ainoi) bless all of us with the Grace of God.

The polite and self-restrained answer be glorious in splendor for the Festival, and let us embrace is “The Sacrament of Holy Unction will be celebrated on one another.

Now my bitten lip is getting symbolically swollen. “My friend the Divine Liturgy of In Christ, the ANNUNCIATION of the Virgin Mary is at 9:30 am on Monday March 25th”. I explained politely to this inquirer. “The Church doesn't denounce anyone.

  • Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Iconography of Queenship: Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Gillian Lucinda Gower 2016 © Copyright by Gillian Lucinda Gower 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Iconography of Queenship: Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain by Gillian Lucinda Gower Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Elizabeth Randell Upton, Chair This dissertation investigates the relational, representative, and most importantly, constitutive functions of sacred music composed on behalf of and at the behest of British queen- consorts during the later Middle Ages. I argue that the sequences, conductus, and motets discussed herein were composed with the express purpose of constituting and reifying normative gender roles for medieval queen-consorts. Although not every paraliturgical work in the English ii repertory may be classified as such, I argue that those works that feature female exemplars— model women who exemplified the traits, behaviors, and beliefs desired by the medieval Christian hegemony—should be reassessed in light of their historical and cultural moments. These liminal works, neither liturgical nor secular in tone, operate similarly to visual icons in order to create vivid images of exemplary women saints or Biblical figures to which queen- consorts were both implicitly as well as explicitly compared. The Iconography of Queenship is organized into four chapters, each of which examines an occasional musical work and seeks to situate it within its own unique historical moment. In addition, each chapter poses a specific historiographical problem and seeks to answer it through an analysis of the occasional work.

  • Fabricating Religion: the Theological Significance of Sartorial Imagery in Juana De La Cruz’S (1481-1534) El Conhorte
    FABRICATING RELIGION: THE THEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF SARTORIAL IMAGERY IN JUANA DE LA CRUZ’S (1481-1534) EL CONHORTE Anne-Shirley Harford A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Frank Domínguez Lucia Binotti Jessica Boon Carmen Hsu Rosa Perelmuter © 2019 Anne-Shirley Harford ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Anne-Shirley Harford: Fabricating Religion: The Theological Significance of Sartorial Imagery in Juana de la Cruz’s (1481-1534) El Conhorte (Under the direction of Frank A. Domínguez) Mother Juana de la Cruz (1481-1534) is a fascinating female mystic whose preaching marks an important step in the development of Marian devotion under Queen Isabel I. With the support of important religious figures such as Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, a Franciscan like Juana, her visionary experience gained widespread fame both inside and outside the convent of Santa María de la Cruz in Cubas. Fabricating Religion examines Juana’s use of sartorial imagery within El Conhorte—a collection of seventy-two of Juana’s “sermones” dictated by one of the members of the nunnery, Sor María Evangelista. It analyzes two key elements in the sermons—the theology and the materiality of dress images, and their connections to the cultural and religious praxis of the period. Juana employs sartorial imagery repeatedly when treating such theologically complex topics as Jesus’ Incarnation, Mary’s Immaculate Conception, and Mary’s role in Redemption, Salvation and Intercession.
