The Liturgy, as it is currently celebrated in the Rite of Constantinople differs very little from the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the primary difference being in the silent prayers said by That St. Basil composed a Liturgy, or rather reformed an existing Liturgy, is beyond doubt, the priest and the hymn “In you, O full of Grace”, which replaces the usual “It is truly right to since besides the constant tradition of the Byzantine Church there are many testimonies in bless you.” In general, the prayers of St. Basil are more penitential, and therefore lend ancient writings to establish the fact. themselves to the Church's liturgical preparation for important holy days; hence, their use during Great Lent and on the eves of Nativity and Theophany (both of which are strict fast It is not known precisely just what the nature of Basil's reform was, nor what liturgy served as days, known as Paramony). the basis of his work. Very probably he shortened and changed somewhat the liturgy of his own diocese, which would have been akin to the Liturgy of St. James. In later times it While the actual Words of Institution themselves are the same for both Chrysostom and Basil, underwent further development, so that with our present knowledge of its history it would be Saint Basil precedes each exclamation with the following "He gave it to His holy disciples almost impossible to reconstruct it as it came from the pen of the Bishop of Cæsarea. and apostles, saying". Over time, crucial parts of the anaphora were expanded by inserting credal statements. In The Epiclesis (invocation of the Holy Spirit to perfect the Consecration of the Gifts) differs in particular in the prayer after the Holy Holy Holy but also in the expansion of the Anamnesis, that Chrysostom says "Make this bread the precious Body of Thy Christ" and "Make that which which was influenced by the Christological debates of that period. These changes appear to is in this chalice the precious Blood of Thy Christ", while Basil says "This bread to be the have been influenced by the dogmatic definitions of the Synods of Antioch in 341 and 345. precious body of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ" and "This cup to be the precious blood of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, … poured out for the life of the world." According to the tradition of the Eastern Church, its Liturgy is practically the work of St. Basil, So for Saint John Chrysostom, the transformation is taking place in the present, whereas for due allowance being made for changes and amelioration in the course of time. This is older Saint Basil it is already an accomplished fact. than either of the other two Byzantine Liturgies (that of St. John Chrysostom and the Presanctified Liturgy), and is mentioned under the name of St. Basil in ancient times as if it The Great Intercession for the living and the dead is much longer in St. Basil. were then the normal Liturgy. Because of the longer prayers that make up the Anaphora of Saint Basil, the musical settings The various extant anaphoras attributed to St. Basil in the various Eastern Christian rites may for the hymns chanted by the choir during the prayers are longer and often more ornate than be classified into two families: Caesarian (or Byzantine) and the Alexandrian (or Coptic). those used during the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. The Byzantine Liturgy is used in the countries which were evangelized from Constantinople, or which came under its influence for any considerable period.

  • SAINT LUKE the EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH April 17, 2016
    SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH April 17, 2016 5th sunday of lent, our venerable mother, st. mary of egypt he memory of St. Mary of Egypt is celebrated on April 1, where her life is recorded. Since the end of the holy TForty Days is drawing near, it has been appointed for this day also, so that if we think it hard to practice a little abstinence forty days, we might be roused by the heroism of her who fasted in the wilderness forty-seven years; and also that the great loving-kindness of God, and His readiness to receive the repentant, might be demon- strated in very deed. The Hieromartyr Simeon, Bishop of Persia, suffered during a persecution against Christians under the Per- sian emperor Sapor II (310-381). They accused the saint of collaborating with the Roman Empire and of sub- versive activities against the Persian emperor. In the year 344, the emperor issued an edict which imposed a heavy tax upon Christians. When some of them refused to pay it, this was regarded as an act of rebellion, so the emperor began a fierce persecution against Christians. St Simeon was brought to trial in iron fetters as a supposed enemy of the Persian realm, together with the two hieromartyrs Habdelai and Ananias. The holy bishop would not even bow to the emperor, who asked why he would not show him the proper respect. The saint answered, “Formerly, I bowed because of your rank, but now, when you ask me to renounce my God and abandon my faith, it is not proper for me to bow to you.” The emperor urged him to worship the sun, and he threatened to eradicate Christianity in his land if he re- fused.

  • The Liturgical Order of Services for the Year of the Incarnate Lord 2010
    The Liturgical Order of Services for the year of the Incarnate Lord 2010 The Liturgical Day in the Orthodox Church begins in the Evening, and its arrival is announced by the service of Vespers, which is the service that liturgically brings one day to a close and inaugurates the next. For example, Great Vespers served on Saturday night is the evening prayer service for the Lord’s Day and thus is liturgically Sunday’s first service. Vespers is celebrated in three basic forms: Great Vespers, Daily Vespers, and Small (Little) Vespers. Great Vespers may be served in three different forms as mentioned below: By itself, at a Vigil, and on appointed days combined with Liturgy. Great Vespers is appointed to be served on the Eve of Sunday (i.e. Saturday night) and on the eves of all feasts ranked higher than the Fourth class. Daily Vespers is an abbreviated form of Great Vespers and is served on any day that Great Vespers is not appointed. At Daily Vespers, the Small Entrance is usually omitted; there are fewer stikhera inserted in Lord, I have cried unto Thee; and the Litany following the prokeimenon is abbreviated and moved to follow the apolytikion. The service ends with the Little Dismissal. Small Vespers or Little Vespers is appointed for days when there is to be an All Night Vigil. Small Vespers has no Litany of Peace, no kathisma or Little Litany, nor the Litany of Fervent Supplication, nor the Prayer at the Bowing of the Heads. The only litany there is is toward the end following the apolytikion and only has 4 petitions.

Please help us find our mistakes! The requested review is one of content. For ease and economy in printing the document has been designed for duplication on standard 8‐1/2” x 11” paper. When the hardbound edition is prepared there will be a separate review for layout. [There are currently some prayers with awkward page breaks, and that will be attended to when the document is readied for publication, according to the size selected for the hardcover book.] The text for the psalm quotes remains mostly that which was given in the 1964 edition of the Liturgicon (most of which were an adaptation from the Douay‐ Rheims translation, updated to the Septuagint, where necessary). A separate review of the texts adapted from the Psalter is still to come. It might be useful to update these to the either the RSV‐2CE or the new Revised Grail Psalms (Conception Abby) (which the Roman Catholics will be using in their corrected liturgical texts), since there is not yet a common LXX Psalter in use by all Byzantines (Catholic and Orthodox) as recommended in the Liturgical Instruction (#29).

For example, the collection of prayers and scriptural readings that are used during the ceremony of marriage constitute the Liturgy of Holy Matrimony. Similarly, the collection of prayers, hymns and scriptural readings said on Holy Friday, constitute the Liturgy of Holy Friday. Again, the prayers, hymns and readings said during the celebration of the Eucharist constitute the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Most people use the term Liturgy to refers to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. For our purpose, we will use the word Liturgy in this sense (i.e., to mean the Liturgy of the Eucharist). In order to understand the Liturgy, one has to do several things. First, one has to start with an old version of the Liturgy. Several aspects have to be considered: the meaning of the words, their biblical origin, the correct manner in which the rubric (rituals) should be performed. Studying the “silent prayers” of the priest also gives excellent insight into the symbolism behind the various acts performed by the priest and the deacons. Second, one has to consult the sayings of the Fathers of the Church, as well as other ancient writers. This helps us understand the historical changes which have occurred over the years. Reading the Fathers can give meaning to many of the rubrics, many of which are not carried out properly because of lack of understanding of their meaning.
