  • The Date of Pascha/Easter ~ a Message from Fr. Robert
    March 2015 ¨1645 Phillips Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32308 ¨ (850) 878-0747 ¨ Rev. Fr. Robert J. O’Loughlin¨ http://www.hmog.org The Date of Pascha/Easter ~ A Message from Fr. Robert It is a typical question that we may be asked in most years is why the Orthodox Church celebrates Pascha on a differ- ent date from other Christian denominations. This year we celebrate Pascha/Easter one week after most other Christians. So I thought once again that we would touch upon this topic of the calculation of when we celebrate Pascha. Our celebration of Pascha was formed from the Jewish Passover. Initially, those Christians converted from Judaism celebrated Pascha in accordance with the Jewish calendar and on the same date of the feast of Passover. “Pascha” was celebrated the 14th of the lunar month of Nisan, regardless of the day of the week upon which it fell. The Church- es of Asia Minor followed this practice while other churches in the east and west celebrated the Feast on the Sunday following this date. By the 3rd century, all the churches were celebrating Pascha on the Sunday following the 14th of Nisan. This determined the Jewish calculation of Passover, which is on the first full moon following the vernal equi- nox. However, following the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD the Jews depended on local pagan calendars for their calculation. So with difficulties with inadequate calendars, the issue of the date of Pascha continued. It was resolved in 325 at the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea as the early Church Fathers determined the Pascha date to be the first Sunday after the first full moon of the spring equinox.

  • LACHLAN TURNBULL the Man of Sorrows and the King of Glory in Italy, C
    Lachlan Turnbull, The Man of Sorrows and the King of Glory in Italy, c. 1250-c. 1350 LACHLAN TURNBULL The Man of Sorrows and the King of Glory in Italy, c. 1250- c. 1350 ABSTRACT The Man of Sorrows – an iconographic type of Jesus Christ following his Crucifixion – has received extensive analytical treatment in the art-historical literature. Following a model that draws scholarly attention to the dynamics of cross-cultural artistic exchange in the central Middle Ages, this article reconsiders recent advances in the scholarly literature and refocusses analysis upon the Man of Sorrows within the context of its ‘shared’ intercultural heritage, suspended between Byzantium and the West, as an image ultimately transformed from liturgical icon to iconographic device. Introduction The image of Jesus’ Crucifixion was originally believed to be either so scandalous, or considered so absurd, that the iconographic means by which to depict it constituted an almost reluctantly-developed theme in Christian art.1 Recent research indicates that Christian Crucifixion iconography emerged in the fourth century and emphasised the salvific – which is to imply, triumphal – aspect of Jesus’ death.2 ‘The Passion’, commencing with the betrayal of Jesus by his disciple Judas Iscariot, culminating in Jesus’ redemptive sacrifice by his Crucifixion and ending with his Resurrection, is a critical narrative in Christian faith.3 The reality of the Crucifixion, including the penetration of Jesus’ side and the issuing of blood and water,4 are pivotal mystic concepts linked to the key Christian doctrines of transubstantiation and sacrificial resurrection, and thus to the efficacy of the Eucharistic Mystery and Christian communion.5 The twinned natures of Jesus, his humanity and divinity, underpin the salvific significance of his death, and the image of his crucified body reinforces the memory of, identification with, and sympathy for Jesus whilst reinforcing the message of his ultimate return.

  • The System of Divine Service Quotations in the Life of Stephen of Perm
    Svetlana Shumilo Chernihiv, Ukraine [email protected] THE SYSTEM OF DIVINE SERVICE QUOTATIONS IN THE LIFE OF STEPHEN OF PERM Epiphanius the Wise, the Russian fi eenth-century hagiographer, is well-known as an unexcelled stylist. A monk of the Holy Trinity— St. Sergius Lavra, and one of the most learned and multi-talented peo- ple of his time, he was the author of at least two saints’ Lives — Sergius of Radonezh and Stephen of Perm. Moreover, the authorship of A Word on the Life and Repose of Demetrius Ivanovich, Tsar of Russia is most o en ascribed to this same hagiographer. The unique style of his works has elicited and continues to elicit the interest of researchers. The analysis of the particularities of his work, in the opinion of L. A. Dmitriev, is “the critical, central problem in the study of the Russian hagiography linked with the second wave of South Slav infl uence.”1 One of the most interesting particularities of Epiphanius’ style was his broad use of various quotations, reminiscences and allusions in ha- giographical prose. The Life of Stephen of Perm (LSP), to which our work is dedicated, is one of the most extended Slavonic lives wri en in the special, fl owery style characteristic of the epoch of the second wave of South Slav infl uence. An important function in the creation of this style is carried out by quotation; it plays a style-forming role in the Life of Stephen of Perm. In this text the author most o en resorts to two literary sources: the Bible and the texts of the Divine services.

  • Peloponnese”, Wrote Mazaris at the Beginning of the Fifteenth Century, “Is Inhabited by a Great Number of Ethnic Groups Forming a Mixed Society
    PETER CHAR AN1S ON THE DEMOGRAPHY OF MEDIEVAL GREECE: A PROBLEM SOLVED This study is dedicated to my distinguished colleagues of Rutgers University Richard P. McCormick and Richard Schlatter who have ever supported my efforts at scholarship and research. The “Peloponnese”, wrote Mazaris at the beginning of the fifteenth century, “is inhabited by a great number of ethnic groups forming a mixed society. To classify them exactly is at the moment neither feasible nor urgent; the names, however, that tend to crop up in every conversation as the best known and the most important are these : Laconians, Italians, Peloponnesians, Slavs, Albanians, Gypsies and Jews... If they formed a single race and were encompassed in a single city, troubles would be lighter and of a simple nature, and generally speaking the entire society here would be free from graft, political intrigue and meddling, and business would be carried on with due respect for law and justice. As it is, they are a helter-skelter hotchpotch of everything, and each will inevitably imitate the customs, laws, national character, social behavior—in short, the overall pattern of criminality prevailing in each of the other groups...”1. Mazaris then goes on to describe the characteristic features of each one of these ethnic groups. The Laconians, he says, were known for their “vanity and perfidy... their tendency toward slander and blackmail, their bragging and drunkenness, their utter miserliness and low cunning”. The Italians were aristocratic in 1.
