3 Byzantine Christmas: Sun of Justice This may account for the fact that one of the main hymnological themes for Christmas is that of light in general and the sun specifically: Orthodox hymnography refers to Christ “dawning from a Virgin,” to his Nativity making “the light of knowledge dawn on the world,” calls him the “Dayspring from on high,” or “Dayspring from the east,” and even applies the title “Sun of Justice” for Jesus Christ. Christians seemed to say, “You The ecclesiastical feast day celebrating the Nativity all worship the sun in the sky or call this false god of Jesus Christ – which came to be called simply Mithras the ‘Sun of Justice,’ whereas we worship the “Christ’s Mass,” or “Christmas” in English – was true God, the spiritual, noetic ‘Sun of Justice’: Jesus added to the calendar in the Eastern Church Christ, the Son of God and true giver of light and somewhat later than other major feasts. Originally, life.” Christ’s Nativity and Baptism were celebrated on the same day: (January 6). Much has This theme permeates the hymnography of been said concerning the origins and influences – Christmas, along with the paradox of God becoming whether Pagan, Persian, or Christian – of December man and of the Virgin giving birth; the humility of 25th becoming the feast day of the Nativity of the Son of God in his Incarnation; the sanctification Christ; suffice it to say that the late Roman Pagan of the earth, deification of humanity, and the holiday of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun, the reconciliation of God and Man in the God-Man, ancient Persian celebration of the birth of Mithras Jesus Christ. The reflect on all these themes, – the “Sun of Justice,” – and the celebration of culminating in the universal exultation of creation: the birth of Jesus Christ were each to one extent “Now Christ is born: therefore glorify!” “Sing your or another in the mind of the Roman populace praise to the Lord, all the earth!” “Glory to God in during the development of the Christian calendar. the highest!”

4 We present our program of a Byzantine Christmas in liturgical order, spending a moment or two in each worship service of the Orthodox Church for Christmas and Christmas Day. The liturgical journey begins with the service of Great (or “Royal”) Hours, celebrated on morning or afternoon. Structured around the traditionally monastic rite of the First, Third, Sixth, and Ninth Hours, the are now most often celebrated together as a single service. Each Hour begins with Psalm readings, after which the choirs sing a series of three Idiomela (through- composed pieces of hymnography) that reflect on the significance of the holiday. In particular, they focus on the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and on the inherent paradoxes of Christmas: God becoming human, a virgin giving birth, and the King of Kings being born in a cave and laid in a manger. Sung hymnography is followed by declamation of an Old Testament prophecy, chanting of a New Testament Apostolic , and chanting of a pericope. With this structure, the Hours function like the Orthodox equivalent to a Lessons and Carols service. The climax of the Hours is the “Today born of a virgin is he who held all creation in the hollow of his hand,” a poetic exploration of the paradoxes of Christmas. Our program presents this piece first in Arabic virtuosic improvisation by Dn. John El Massih, and then repeated by the whole ensemble in English, chanting in the “hard chromatic” Plagal Second Mode. The next stop on our liturgical journey is Great Vespers, celebrated on Christmas Eve. This Vespers service is more joyful in character, being the first liturgical experience of the holiday itself. The hymnography includes a series ofIdiomela interpolated into last eight verses of 140, 141, and 129, which are sung at every Vespers. Our program presents the first and last of theseIdiomela : the first in English, composed in the traditional medium-texture sticheraric genre, and the last in Greek, composed in the “old” or slow sticheraric IN THE HEART OF PORTLAND’S WEST END DISTRICT genre by the monks of Vatopaidi on Mt. Athos. The first half of our program ends with two simpler, more “syllabic” offerings: the first Troparion sung at the prophecy readings at Vespers, 503.224.3293 | MARKSPENCER.COM sung in English, which tells the story of the and the adoration of the Magi; and the 409 SW 11TH AVENUE, PORTLAND

Joseph spoke thus to the Virgin, “Mary, what is have brought me shame; instead of gladness, sorrow; this doing that I see in you? I am at a loss and am instead of praise, reproof.
