    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures by Sean Delaine Griffin 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle by Sean Delaine Griffin Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Gail Lenhoff, Chair The monastic chroniclers of medieval Rus’ lived in a liturgical world. Morning, evening and night they prayed the “divine services” of the Byzantine Church, and this study is the first to examine how these rituals shaped the way they wrote and compiled the Povest’ vremennykh let (Primary Chronicle, ca. 12th century), the earliest surviving East Slavic historical record. My principal argument is that several foundational accounts of East Slavic history—including the tales of the baptism of Princess Ol’ga and her burial, Prince Vladimir’s conversion, the mass baptism of Rus’, and the martyrdom of Princes Boris and Gleb—have their source in the feasts of the liturgical year. The liturgy of the Eastern Church proclaimed a distinctively Byzantine myth of Christian origins: a sacred narrative about the conversion of the Roman Empire, the glorification of the emperor Constantine and empress Helen, and the victory of Christianity over paganism. In the decades following the conversion of Rus’, the chroniclers in Kiev learned these narratives from the church services and patterned their own tales of Christianization after them. The ii result was a myth of Christian origins for Rus’—a myth promulgated even today by the Russian Orthodox Church—that reproduced the myth of Christian origins for the Eastern Roman Empire articulated in the Byzantine rite.

  • Some Symbols of Identity of Byzantine Catholics I Robert J
    Some Symbols of Identity of Byzantine Catholics I Robert J. Skovira Introduction This essay is a descript�on of some of an ethnic group's symbols of identity2; itsa im is to explore the meanings of the following statement: [Byzantine Catholics] are no longer an immigrant and ethnic group. Byzantine Catholics are American in every sense of the word, that the rite itself is American as opposed to fo reign, and that both the rite and its adherents have become part and parcel of the American scene.;l This straight-forward statement claims that there ha been a rei nterpretation an d reexpression of identity within a new political and sociocultural envrionment.� It is common ense, for example, to think that individuals as a group do, re-do, rearrange, and change the expressions of values and beliefs in new situations. But, in order to ensure continuity in the midst of change, people will usually use already ex isting symbols-or whatever is at hand and fa miliar. Byzan tine Catholic identity is a case of new bottles with old wine. Ethnic groups and their members rely upon any number of factors to symbolize the values and beliefs with which they identify and by which they are identified. Such symbol of identity are manipulated, exploited, reinterpreted or changed, over time, according to the requirements of the context. In any event, people always use whatever is present to them for maintaining some continuity of identity while, at the same time, adjusting to new state -of-affairs. Herskovits shows, for exampl ,that We are dealing with a basi proce s in the adjustment of individual behavior and of institutional structures to be found in all situations where people having different ways of life come into con tact.

  • Liturgical Architecture: the Layout of a Byzantine Church Building
    Liturgical Architecture: The Layout of a Byzantine Church Building Each liturgical tradition has its own requirements and expectations for the liturgical space; here, we will look at the St. Nicholas Church building and its symbolism in the Byzantine tradition. The nave The most ancient plan of Christian architecture is probably the basilica, the large rectangular room used for public meetings, and many Byzantine churches today are organized around a large liturgical space, called the nave (from the Greek word for a ship, referring to the ark of Noah in which human beings were saved from the flood). The nave is the place where the community assembles for prayer, and symbolically represents the Church "in pilgrimage" - the Church in the world. It is normally adorned with icons of the Lord, the angels and the saints, allowing us to see and remember the "cloud of witnesses" who are present with us at the liturgy. At St. Nicholas, the nave opens upward to a dome with stained glass of the Eucharist chalice and the Holy Spirit above the congregation. The nave is also provided with lights that at specific times the church interior can be brightly lit, especially at moments of great joy in the services, or dimly lit, like during parts of the Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts. The nave, where the congregation resides during the Divine Liturgy, at St. Nicholas is round, representing the endlessness of eternity. The principal church building of the Byzantine Rite, the Church of Holy Wisdom (Hagia Sophia) in Constantinople, employed a round plan for the nave, and this has been imitated in many Byzantine church buildings.

  • Eastern Rite Catholicism
    Eastern Rite Catholicism Religious Practices Religious Items Requirements for Membership Medical Prohibitions Dietary Standards Burial Rituals Sacred Writings Organizational Structure History Theology RELIGIOUS PRACTICES Required Daily Observances. None. However, daily personal prayer is highly recommended. Required Weekly Observances. Participation in the Divine Liturgy (Mass) is required. If the Divine Liturgy is not available, participation in the Latin Rite Mass fulfills the requirement. Required Occasional Observances. The Eastern Rites follow a liturgical calendar, as does the Latin Rite. However, there are significant differences. The Eastern Rites still follow the Julian Calendar, which now has a difference of about 13 days – thus, major feasts fall about 13 days after they do in the West. This could be a point of contention for Eastern Rite inmates practicing Western Rite liturgies. Sensitivity should be maintained by possibly incorporating special prayer on Eastern Rite Holy days into the Mass. Each liturgical season has a focus; i.e., Christmas (Incarnation), Lent (Human Mortality), Easter (Salvation). Be mindful that some very important seasons do not match Western practices; i.e., Christmas and Holy Week. Holy Days. There are about 28 holy days in the Eastern Rites. However, only some require attendance at the Divine Liturgy. In the Byzantine Rite, those requiring attendance are: Epiphany, Ascension, St. Peter and Paul, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christmas. Of the other 15 solemn and seven simple holy days, attendance is not mandatory but recommended. (1 of 5) In the Ukrainian Rites, the following are obligatory feasts: Circumcision, Easter, Dormition of Mary, Epiphany, Ascension, Immaculate Conception, Annunciation, Pentecost, and Christmas.

  • Byzantine Liturgical Hymnography: a Stumbling Stone for the Jewish-Orthodox Christian Dialogue? Alexandru Ioniță*
    Byzantine Liturgical Hymnography: a Stumbling Stone for the Jewish-Orthodox Christian Dialogue? Alexandru Ioniță* This article discusses the role of Byzantine liturgical hymnography within the Jewish- Orthodox Christian dialogue. It seems that problematic anti-Jewish hymns of the Orthodox liturgy were often put forward by the Jewish side, but Orthodox theologians couldn’t offer a satisfactory answer, so that the dialogue itself profoundly suffered. The author of this study argues that liturgical hymnography cannot be a stumbling stone for the dialogue. Bringing new witnesses from several Orthodox theologians, the author underlines the need for a change of perspective. Then, beyond the intrinsic plea for the revision of the anti-Jewish texts, this article actually emphasizes the need to rediscover the Jewishness of the Byzantine liturgy and to approach the hymnography as an exegesis or even Midrash on the biblical texts and motives. As such, the anti-Jewish elements of the liturgy can be considered an impulse to a deeper analysis of Byzantine hymnography, which could be very fruitful for the Jewish-Christian Dialogue. Keywords: Jewish-Orthodox Christian Dialogue; Byzantine Hymnography; anti-Judaism; Orthodox Liturgy. Introduction The dialogue between Christian Orthodox theologians and Jewish repre- sentatives is by far one of the least documented and studied inter-religious interchanges. However, in recent years several general approaches to this topic have been issued1 and a complex study of it by Pier Giorgio Tane- burgo has even been published.2 Yet, because not all the reports presented at different Christian-Jewish joint meetings have been published and also, * Alexandru Ioniță, research fellow at the Institute for Ecumenical Research, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu.

  • Byzantine Lutheranism!
    Byzantine Lutheranism? Byzantine Lutheranism! Through the 1596 Union of Brest, many Ruthenian Orthodox bishops, with their eparchies, entered into communion with the Pope at Rome. They did this with the understanding that they and their successors would always be able to preserve their distinctive Eastern customs, such as a married priesthood, and the use of the Byzantine Rite for worship, in a language understood by the people. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church became (and remains) the heir of this 1596 union. The region of Galicia in eastern Europe (now a part of Ukraine), inhabited mostly by ethnic Ukrainians, was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of the First World War. After a few years of regional conflict Galicia then came under the jurisdiction of a newly reconstituted Polish state. Soon thereafter, under pressure from the hierarchy of the Polish Roman Catholic Church and with the collusion of the Pope, the Stanyslaviv Eparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Galicia began to undergo an imposed Latinization. This Latinization process manifested itself chiefly in the prohibition of any future ordinations of married men, and in the requirement that the Western Rite Latin Mass be used for worship. The Ukrainians who were affected by this felt betrayed, and many of them began to reconsider their ecclesiastical associations and allegiance to the Pope. This was the setting for the emergence of a Lutheran movement among the Ukrainians of this region, in the 1920s. This movement was initially prompted by two

  • St. John Chrysostom 13
    St. John Chrysostom John Chrysostom was born in Antioch, Turkey, around the time that the Roman Empire was split into East and West. He converted to Christianity as a young man, and he was baptized when he was 22. For several years he lived in the mountains as a hermit, spending his days praying and praising God in solitude. When he was 37, he returned to Antioch and became a deacon and then a priest. He impressed many people with his powerful and eloquent preaching. He earned the nickname “Chrysostom” which 347 - 407 means golden-mouthed. When he was 53, St. John was elected patriarch, or archbishop of Constantinople. Feast Day: John immediately donated to the poor, sent out September 13 missionaries, and ended the extravagant luxury of church leaders in his area. He advised political leaders to end their extravagant luxury as well. His sermons were often critical of the rich and powerful. His preaching and his simple lifestyle made him many enemies. The empress and the bishop of Alexandria charged St. John with heresy and misdeeds. John was exiled (or sent away with orders never to return). The Pope supported John. He sent five bishops to the Emperor to demand he free John from exile, but the Emperor threw the bishops in prison and exiled John even farther away, to a city on the very edge of the empire. The saint died of exhaustion in 407. St. John Chrysostom is a Doctor of the Church. The most celebrated Divine Liturgy in the Byzantine Rite, the Divine Liturgy of St.

  • Church of Greece: Yoga Is Incompatible with Christian Faith by Philip Chrysopoulos - Jun 4, 2020
    Church of Greece: Yoga is Incompatible with Christian Faith By Philip Chrysopoulos - Jun 4, 2020 File photo The Standing Holy Synod of the Church of Greece has decided that yoga has no place in the life of Christians because it is a fundamental part of the religion of Hinduism. The official decision was taken on Tuesday during a meeting of the Standing Holy Synod of the Church of Greece, chaired by Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens. The Church of Greece was expressing its reaction to widespread media reports suggesting yoga techniques as a way of dealing with stress during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the context of respect for religious freedom guaranteed in Greece, but also of the pastoral responsibility of the Church for avoiding creating religious syncretism, the Church of Greece reminded Orthodox Christians that yoga is a fundamental part of the religion of Hinduism, not just simply a “kind of exercise.” Therefore, the Standing Holy Synod pointed out that yoga is “completely incompatible with our Orthodox Faith and has no place in the lives of Christians.” In addition to calling on Orthodox Christians to avoid practicing yoga, the Holy Synod also distributed a circular to the clergy and metropolitans of the Church of Greece to abstain from any event organized by the Rotary and Lions international organizations. According to the circular, these organizations are not only limited to social events, but also include religious acts, since they have a typical rite of passage for new members and use a prayer that is addressed vaguely to a God, in the general sense of the word and not according to the Orthodox Faith.

  • Byzantine Hymnography and the Quest for Orthodox Unity: Notes on the Liturgical Commemoration of the Council of Chalcedon, Towar
    Byzantine Hymnography and the Quest for Orthodox Unity: Notes on the Liturgical Commemoration of the Council of Chalcedon, Towards the Reconciliation of “Eastern” and “Oriental” Churches Gregory Tucker* Among the issues remaining to be addressed along the path to reconciliation between the “Eastern” and “Oriental” Orthodox is the characterisation of Oriental teachers as heretics in the liturgical texts of the Byzantine Rite. The mere suggestion of liturgical revision to reflect the agreement that multiple theological vocabularies are legitimate and therefore theologians associated with them should not be anathematized or deprecated has been met with fierce opposition from some Eastern Orthodox. This paper considers what might actually be involved in such a revision, taking as an example the texts for the commemoration of the Council of Chalcedon. It suggests that the extent of necessary revision would be far less than is perhaps feared. Keywords: Chalcedon, liturgy, liturgical revision, Byzantine Rite, Eastern Or- thodox, Oriental Orthodox Introduction From an Orthodox perspective, one of the great fruits of modern ecumen- ism1 has been the inauguration of a new phase in the relationship between the “Eastern” and “Oriental” Orthodox churches.2 An unofficial bilateral dialogue began in 1964, which became an official dialogue in 1985.

    The Plainchant of the Byzantine Catholic Church Week 1: Liturgical background for this course Byzantine Catholic Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Instructor: Deacon Jeffrey Mierzejewski Spring 2017 What is the Byzantine Rite? • Liturgy: the organized, public liturgy of the Christian Church • Rite – a particular arrangement of the divine services, consisting of the texts and actions used in worship, and the chant that accompanies them – Roman Rite: the liturgical order of the city of Rome, used in much of the Catholic Church – Byzantine Rite: the liturgical order of the city of Constantinople, used in the Orthodox churches and most (not all) Eastern Catholic churches – Antiochene (Syrian) Rite: the liturgical order of the city of Antioch, used by Maronite, Syriac, Malabar, Malankar, and Chaldean Catholics, and well as some Oriental Orthodox churches – Alexandrian (Coptic) Rite: the liturgical order of the city of Alexandria, used by Coptic and Ethiopian Catholics and Orthodox – Jerusalem Rite: the liturgical order of the city of Jerusalem, now largely absorbed into the other Eastern Rites • Each of these rites has changed over time, and has been adapted locally by the various churches that use them. The Byzantine Catholic Church follows the Byzantine Rite, and this lecture will focus on this tradition. The Divine Praises In the Byzantine Rite, the day begins at sundown. “Thus evening came, and morning followed - the first day.” (Genesis 1:5) – At sunset: Vespers - praise for creation, and intercession for the world –Before sleep: Compline
