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. -
7Th Sunday After Pentecost Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils
1 7th Sunday after Pentecost Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils VESPERS: Tone 6 P. Regular Beginning C. Lord I have cried... 1. O Christ, triumphant over hell,/ Thou hast ascended upon the Cross,/ to raise up with Thyself those dwelling in the darkness of death./ Free among the dead,/ Thou pourest forth life from Thine own light:// O almighty Saviour, have mercy upon us. 2. Christ, having trampled upon death today,/ according to His word, rose up bestowing joy upon the world,/ that all of us shouting this hymn might say:/ O Fount of life, O Light that no man can approach,// O almighty Saviour, have mercy upon us. 3. Whither shall we sinners fly from Thee, O Lord,/ Who art everywhere in the creation?/ Into heaven? Thy abode is there./ Into hell? Thou hast trampled upon death./ Into the uttermost parts of the sea?/ Thy hand reaches thither, O Master./ We run to Thee and falling before Thee we pray:// O Thou, risen from the dead, have mercy upon us. Stichera for the Holy Fathers (Tone 6) 5/6 Before the ages Thou wast begotten of the womb of the Father without mother/ before the morning star;/ yet Arius calleth Thee a creature, refusing to glorify Thee as God,/ with audacity mindlessly confusing Thee, the Creator, with a creature,/ laying up for himself fuel for the everlasting fire./ But the Council in Nicaea proclaimed Thee to be the Son of God,// Who art equally enthroned with the Father and the Spirit. 7/8 Wisely did ye mend the robe of Christ/ which had been rent and torn by the jaws of dogs, O honoured fathers,/ unable to endure the sight of His nakedness,/ as of old Shem and Japheth could not bear to see their father’s nakedness./ And ye put to shame the mindlessness of those of like mind with Arius,// the namesake of wrath. -
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. -

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.

Tone 2 – Saturday Vespers & Friday Vespers (repeated) – Dogmaticon Dogmatic THE SHADOW OF THE LAW PASSED WHEN GRACE CAME.

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. -
THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms
THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms Akathist Literally, “not standing.” A hymn dedicated to our Lord, the Theotokos, a saint, or a holy event. 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…”). -
