Teaching Idea What Teachers Need to Know You may want to teach section B, A. History and Culture “Geography,” before “History and Culture.” Byzantine Influence in Russia The rise of Russia is closely related to the history of the Byzantine Empire, which students in Core Knowledge schools should have encountered in Grades 3 and 4. For a thousand years after the fall of the Roman Empire in the west, the Eastern or Byzantine Empire continued to build on ancient Greek and Roman tra- ditions and culture. For example, Byzantine architects used the Roman dome to build magnificent churches, such as Hagia Sophia in the Byzantine capital of Constantinople (now called Istanbul). Byzantine artists also created beautiful mosaics and icons. Students in Core Knowledge schools should have studied Hagia Sophia and Byzantine mosaics as part of the art curriculum for Grade 3. However, they may not be acquainted with icons, which are special pictures of Jesus, Mary, and the saints.

    Global Heritage Fund Turkey: The World’s Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 Global Heritage Fund Turkey: The World’s Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 To overstate the depth of Turkey’s culture or the richness of its history is nearly impossible. At the crossroads of two continents, home to some of the world’s earliest and most influential cities and civilizations, Turkey contains multi- tudes. The graciousness of its people is legendary—indeed it’s often said that to call a Turk gracious is redundant—and perhaps that’s no surprise in a place where cultural exchange has been taking place for millennia. From early Neolithic ruins to vibrant Istanbul, the karsts and cave-towns of Cappadocia to metropolitan Ankara, Turkey is rich in treasure for the inquisi- tive traveler. During our explorations of these and other highlights of the coun- FEATURING: try, we will enjoy special access to architectural and archaeological sites in the Dan Thompson, Ph.D. company of Global Heritage Fund staff.

  • Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere)
    DALE KINNEY Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere) Abstract The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies ‘rewired’ their participants. This paper demon- strates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors – the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community – are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the con- crete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica’s early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to- date. In Pope Gregory’s remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically orga- nized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society.

The name Constantinople was given to the new capital after the death of Constantine. Constantinople grew in power, cultural, and diplo- matic influence while old Rome was repeatedly plundered by barbarians. By the end of the 5 th century the Western Roman Empire was out of busi- ness. So it was that the citizens in the East saw themselves as simply the continuation of the Roman Empire. We call that remnant of the old em- pire in the east, Byzantium, in recognition of the changed political situa- tion centered on Constantinople between 476 and 1453.
