Stichon: To you, O Lord, I have called: O my Rock, be not deaf to me! Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians 2:4-10 BRETHREN, God, who is rich in mercy, by reason of his very great love with which he has loved us even when we were dead by reason of our sins, brought us to life together with Christ, and you have been saved by grace. [God] raised us up together, and enthroned us together in heaven in Christ Jesus, so that he might show in future ages the overflowing riches of his grace, through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith: and that, not on your own, for it is God’s gift, and not the result of work which might have been a pretext for anyone to boast. For we are his workmanship, we who were created in Christ Jesus through good works which God has pre-planned so that we could walk in them. Alleluia (Tone 6) Ps.90: 1, 2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High abides in the shadow of the God of heaven. Stichon: He will say to the Lord, “My wall, my refuge, my God in whom I will trust!” The Holy Gospel According to St .Luke 8 8: 41-56 At that time behold, there came a man named Jairus to Jesus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And it happened as He went that He was pressed upon by the crowds. And a certain woman who for twelve years had had a hemorrhage, and had spent all her means on physicians, but could not be cured by anyone, came up behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak; and at once her hemorrhage ceased. And Jesus said, “Who touched Me? But as all were denying it, Peter, and those who were with Him, said, “Master, the crowds throng and press upon You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?” But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from Me.” But the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came up trembling, and falling down at His feet, declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched Him, and how she had been healed instantly. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved thee; go in peace.” While he was yet speaking, there came one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, “your daughter is dead; do not trouble Him.” But Jesus on hearing this word answered the father of the girl, “Do not be afraid; only have faith and she shall be saved.” And when He came to the house, He allowed no one to enter with Him, except Peter and James and John, and the girl’s father and mother. And all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said, “Do not weep; she is asleep, not dead.” And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead. But He, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Girl, arise! “And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And He directed that something be given her to eat. And her parents were amazed, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened. According to an early account of his death, Loupos, a October 26 servant of St. Demetrius, after taking proper care of the body, took the saint’s neckscarf, having collected the soil Feast of St Demetrius the Myrobelite soaked with his blood in it. Taking also the royal ring, which the saint was wearing on his hand, and dipping it in his holy blood, Loupos was able to accomplish many St Demetrius and the miracles of healing through it. An oratory was established on the site of the Saint’s martyrdom and a memorial erected in it. The Saint’s relics were concealed beneath it lest they be taken and the Armor of God city lose its protector. When they began exuding fragrant myrrh in the tenth and eleventh centuries, the tomb was unearthed and the Saint came to be called Demetrius the Myrobelite (myrrh-gusher). “GREAT ARE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS of faith!” This exclamation is heard several times each year as we Demetrius the Prayer-Warrior remember the exploits of spiritual giants like the three young Hebrews who survived the fiery furnace in Originally depicted holding a cross or the spear by which Babylon (Dan) or the Great-martyr Theodore the Recruit he was martyred, St Demetrius is now often shown astride who suffered in Asia Minor in the early fourth century. a horse, clad in the “armor of God,” either defending the The latter’s namesake, Theodore the General is described city of Thessalonika from invaders or slaying the as fighting courageously “with the weapons of gladiator whom Nestor killed, symbolizing the power of faith” (troparion) and “the Word of God as a Demetrius’ prayers for Nestor as he entered combat. spear” (kondakion).

Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December, 2018 ABSTRACT IMAGINING DEMONS IN POST-BYZANTINE JERUSALEM: JOHN OF DAMASCUS AND THE CONSOLIDATION OF CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN DEMONOLOGY The Rev. Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation traces the consolidation of a classical Christian framework for demonology in the theological corpus of John of Damascus (c. 675 – c. 750), an eighth century Greek theologian writing in Jerusalem. When the Damascene sat down to write, I argue, there was a great variety of demonological options available to him, both in the depth of the Christian tradition, and in the ambient local imagination. John’s genius lies first in what he chose not to include, but second in his ability to synthesize a minimalistic demonology out of a complex body of material and integrate it into a broader theological system.

  • Issues in Eucharistic Praying in East in West
    Issues in Eucharistic Praying in East in West Essays in Liturgical and Theological Analysis Edited by Maxwell E. Johnson A PUEBLO BOOK Liturgical Press Collegeville, Minnesota www.litpress.org Michael Zheltov XI. The Moment of Eucharistic Consecration in Byzantine Thought The problem of the epiclesis, its meaning, and its importance—or, alternatively, expendability—for the consecration of bread and wine during a Eucharistic prayer has long been a highly polemical issue.1 Despite their differences, scholars and theologians have often taken for granted that it was the Byzantine Church that always believed in a consecratory power of the epiclesis. Indeed, from the fourth century on (i.e., from the very starting point of the development of the Byz- antine liturgy), the Byzantine Eucharistic prayers contained explicit epicleses with strong consecratory statements. In this article I will demonstrate, however, that, while the Byzan- tines undoubtedly were very concerned about the epiclesis read dur- ing their Eucharistic liturgy,2 its mere existence did not always signify the importance it is ascribed in late- and post-Byzantine theological literature. For the Byzantines often pointed to some other elements of the rite as “consecratory,” and were in nowise strangers to the idea of a Eucharistic consecration without an epiclesis. 1. Very useful overviews of the history of the debates and of the prob- lem in general can be found in: Sévérien Salaville, “Épiclèse eucharistique,” in Dictionnaire de théologie catholique, vol. 5, part 1a (Paris: Letouzey et Ané, 1924), 194–300; Cyprian Kern, The Eucharist [original title in Russian: arximan- drit Kiprian, Evxaristiq] (Paris: YMCA-Press, 1947), 245–72; Pantelehvmon ÔRodovpoulo" (mhtropolivth"), ÔO kaqavgiasmo" tw'n dw'rwn th'" qeiva" Eujcaristiva" (Leitourgika; Blatavdwn 3; Thessaloniki, 20002); John McKenna, The Eucharistic Epiclesis: A Detailed History from the Patristics to the Modern Era, 2nd ed.

[ 1 ] ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The staff and directors of the Hagiography Database Project would like to express their appreciation to Dumbarton Oaks which supported the project from 1991-1998, and to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation which made a generous grant to the project for the years 1994-1997 to supplement Dumbarton Oaks funding. We also thank Owen Dall, president of Chesapeake Comput- ing Inc., for his generous forbearance in allowing Buddy Shea, Stacy Simley, and Kathy Coxe to spend extra time at Dumbarton Oaks in the development of the Hagiography database. Special mention must be made of the effort Buddy Shea put into this project with his congenial manner and strong expertise. Without Buddy the project as we now know it would not exist. GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE DATABASE PROJECT Hagiography was one of the most important genres of Byzantine literature, both in terms of quantity of written material and the wide audience that read or listened to these texts. The Dumbarton Oaks Hagiography Database Project is designed to provide Byzantinists and other medievalists with new opportunities of access to this important and underutilized corpus of Greek texts.
