  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

  • By Uta Goerlitz  München
    Amsterdamer Beiträge zur älteren Germanistik 70 (2013), 173-177 Special Issue Section: Sovereigns and Saints INTRODUCTION CULTURAL INTEGRATIVE FIGURES AT THE INTERSECTION OF RULERSHIP AND SAINTHOOD IN MEDIEVAL CHRONICLES by Uta Goerlitz München Rulers or heroes and saints are guiding images of European medieval culture; hence their importance for literature and historiography in the orbit of the noble courts (see, for instance, Müller/ Wunderlich 2001; or Melville/ Staub 2008, vol. 1: 9ff., 340ff.; cf. note 1). Their inte- grative power refers to the vernacular oral culture of the aristocracy on one hand, and to the Latin writing culture of the clergy on the other. In practice, the two cultures cannot be separated. As a result of the conflictive interconnection of aristocratic culture and cleric culture, the specific guiding images of the ruler and the saint overlap: Heroic rulers have saintly characteristics and are depicted as essentially pacific, and saints turn into heroic rulers. The following four contri- butions on the overarching topic, Sovereigns and Saints. Narrative Modes of Constructing Rulership and Sainthood in Latin and German (Rhyme) Chronicles, focus on the interferences between antithetic features of rulers and saints in medieval aristocratic literature. All four contributions are situated within the context of the Priority Program (SPP) 1173 Integration and Disintegration of Civilizations in the European Middle Ages, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) (see Borgolte et. al. 2008: particularly Hammer/ Seidl/ Zimmermann; Hammer/ Seidl 2008 and, et al., 2010; Goerlitz/ Haubrichs 2009).1 Approaching the topic from the perspectives prevalent in their respective fields, that is, German literature, culture and history, the contributors explore how the cultural guiding images of the ruler and the saint are narratively presented in German and Latin (rhymed) chronicles of the 12th to the 16th centuries.

  • The New Cambridge Medieval History
    The New Cambridge Medieval History The fourth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the eleventh and twelfth centuries, which comprised perhaps the most dynamic period in the European middle ages. This is a history of Europe, but the continent is interpreted widely to include the Near East and North Africa as well. The volume is divided into two Parts of which this, the second, deals with the course of events, ecclesiastical and secular, and major developments in an age marked by the transformation of the position of the papacy in a process fuelled by a radical reformation of the church, the decline of the western and eastern empires, the rise of western kingdoms and Italian elites, and the development of governmental structures, the beginnings of the recovery of Spain from the Moors and the establishment of western settlements in the eastern Mediterranean region in the wake of the crusades.

  • The Divine Liturgy John Chrysostom
    The Divine Liturgy of our Father among the Saints John Chrysostom (With Commentary and Notes) The Divine Liturgy 2 The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is today the primary worship service of over 300 million Orthodox Christians around the world, from Greece to Finland, from Russia to Tanzania, from Japan to Kenya, Bulgaria to Australia. It is celebrated in dozens of languages, from the original Greek it was written in to English and French, Slavonic and Swahili, Korean and Arabic. What does the word Liturgy mean? Liturgy is a Greek word that in classical times referred to the performance of a public duty; in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament made some 300 years before the coming of Christ and still used by the Church today, it referred to worship in the Temple in Jerusalem; and for Orthodox Christians it has come to mean the public worship of the Church. Because Liturgy is always a corporate, communal action, it is often translated as ―the work of the people‖ and because it is prefaced by the word ―Divine‖ it is specifically the work of God‘s people and an experience of God‘s coming Kingdom here and now by those who gather to worship Him. This means that the Liturgy is not something that the clergy "performs" for the laity. The Liturgy was never meant to be a performance or a spectacle merely to be witnessed by onlookers. All who are present for worship must be willing, conscious and active participants and not merely passive spectators. The laity con-celebrate with the officiating clergy as baptized believers and members of the "royal priesthood…a people belonging to God" (1 Peter 2:9).

  • Volume Two Matthew J. Phillpott Dissertation Submitted in Part-Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philos
    Rectifying the `ignoraunce of history' : John Foxe and the Collaborative Reformation of England's Past Volume Two Matthew J. Phillpott Dissertation submitted in part-fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philos6ohy, -Department of History, University of Sheffield March 2009 Chapter Six The foundation for History: Annotations in the Manuscripts belonging to John Bale, Matthew Parker, and John Foxe thesewriters while they shew vs one halfe of the Bishop of Rome, the other halfe of him they leaue vnperfect, and 1 vtterly vntold. John Foxe believed When writing these words in 1570 against monastic chroniclers, had `other that he had now told the full, `vntold' story. Foxe's history revealed the halfe', by examining a diverse collection of manuscripts and printed books through a largely specific interpretative and methodological interrogation. He had achieved these aims through the support offered by Matthew Parker. As the previous two chapters have indicated many of the manuscripts Parker provided formed a new and, for Foxe, unchallengeable basis for his depiction of past events and his argument. Manuscript copies of chronicles compiled by John Brompton, Gervase of Canterbury, Matthew Paris, Walter of Guisborough and Thomas Walsingham were granted clear priority over other sources at particular points in Foxe's narrative; other manuscripts such as the Annals compiled by Nicholas Trivet and the Flores Historiarum attributed to Matthew of Westminster provided a supporting range of evidence vital to authenticating the overarching argument. Individual extracts such as King Edgar's oration, Augustine's questions to Pope Gregory the Great and the anti-fraternal tract Jack Upland, provided additional flavour and colour.

  • The Process of Canonization of Saints
    The Process of Canonization of Saints Mrs. Susan Northway Diocesan Director of Religious Education & Reverend Langes J. Silva, JCD, STL Judicial Vicar & Vice-Chancellor Introduction and Pretest The recent beatification of Pope John Paul II and the opening of the cause for sainthood, on a diocesan level, of Cora Louisa Yorgason Evans, a native of Utah, are giving us the opportunity to present a summary of the process of canonization according to the current Code of Canon Law and the particular pontifical laws regulating this type of procedures. This article would be divided in five parts. After a brief introduction and a pretest, we will be presenting in Part I, the significance of canonization; parts II and III will be dedicated to describe the steps of the process of canonization; part IV will deal with the importance of miracles in the process of canonization and part V will briefly describe the ceremony of canonization and some other conclusions. Let us begin with some questions: What should Catholics know about the Church’s process of canonization of saints? Has the Church always regulated the canonization process? Are there a number of steps before the official determination of sainthood? Take this “pretest” and discover more about this process as you read the series of articles on The Canonization of Saints during the following weeks. (True or False) 1. Beginning in the time of the Apostles, the Church has maintained a carefully regulated process for the canonization of saints. 2. Catholics worship saints and that is the reason for the Church’s careful attention to the process of canonization.

    Prejeto / received: 16. 3. 2013. Odobreno / accepted: 27. 8. 2013. TWO PLAINCHANT OFFICES FOR ST THEODORE TYRO VARIETY IN THE FORM AND STYLE OF MEDIEVAL CHANT DAVID HILEY Universität Regensburg / University of Regensburg Izvleček: Danes poznamo dva koralna oficija za Abstract: Two plainchant offices (historiae) for sv. Teodorja Tirona, enega iz Benetk in drugega St Theodore Tyro are known, one from Venice iz Ottobeurena. Oficija sta si močno kontrastna and one from Ottobeuren. They are strongly po svojih besedilih (proza, rimani verzi), obliki contrasted in their texts (prose, rhymed verse), (razvrstitev po zaporednih številkah modusov ali form (arrangement in numerical modal order, pa brez tovrstnega reda) in melodičnem slogu or lacking such order) and melodic style (per- (bolj ali manj vztrajna uporaba tradicionalnih sistent use or otherwise of traditional turns of obratov fraz).

  • British Royal Ancestry Book 5
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY BRITISH ROYAL ANCESTRY, BOOK 5 Kings of Anglo-Saxony INTRODUCTION The British ancestry is very much a patchwork of various beginnings. Until King Alfred the Great established England various Kings ruled separate parts. In most cases the initial ruler came from the mainland. That time of the history is shrouded in myths, which turn into legends and subsequent into history. Alfred the Great (849-901) was a very learned man and studied all available past history and especially biblical information. He came up with the concept that he was the 72nd generation descendant of Adam and Eve. Moreover he was a 17th generation descendant of Woden (Odin). Proponents of one theory claim that he was the descendant of Noah’s son Sem (Shem) because he claimed to descend from Sceaf, a marooned man who came to Britain on a boat after a flood. See the Biblical Ancestry and Early Mythology Ancestry books). The book British Mythical Royal Ancestry from King Brutus shows the mythical kings including Shakespeare’s King Lair. The lineages are from a common ancestor, Priam King of Troy. His one daughter Troana leads to us via Sceaf, the descendants from his other daughter Creusa lead to the British linage. No attempt has been made to connect these rulers with the historical ones. Before Alfred the Great formed a unified England several Royal Houses ruled the various parts. Not all of them have any clear lineages to the present times, i.e. our ancestors, but some do. I have collected information which show these. These include British Royal Ancestry Book 1, Legendary Kings from Brutus of Troy to including Shakespeare’s King Leir.

  • Saints Alive! Week One – What’S a Saint?!
    Saints Alive! Week One – What’s a Saint?! Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… Hebrews 12.1 (NIV) Open Part One – What’s a Saint? We name cities, football teams, colleges, and hospitals after them, but we don’t quite know what to do with them. They are “the saints”. Artists across the ages give them halos, and hymn composers write songs “for all” of them; but Billy Joel thought he’d “rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints” (“Only the Good Die Young) and We’ve all sung, at one time another, that “when the saints go marching in” you and I “want to be in that number”. Sometimes, we use the word positively (“Lisa’s just been a saint through this whole ordeal!”) and other times, negatively (“Luke things he’s this great saint!”). So what’s a saint? Saints in the New Testament The best place to start, as we define our word “saint” is the Bible. When you run across the word in your English New Testament, it means that an ancient author used the Greek term hagios, which means “holy one, one who has been set apart”. Our New Revised Standard Version features the English word “saint” or “saints” 64 times, and 63 of these appear in the New Testament. (See the list of all 64 uses at the end of this handout.) Here are a handful of examples: When God tells a Christian, called Ananias, to go meet the blinded-and-confused Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus, Ananias replies, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem…” (Acts 9.13) “Now as Peter went here and there among all the believers, he came down also to the saints living in Lydda.” (Acts 9.32) “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ…To all God’s beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 1.1, 7) “What’s a Saint?!” 1 Drs.
