Description

Explore the deep liturgical roots of the Byzantine tradition with this scholarly work from Gorgias Press. This volume provides a comprehensive English translation of texts used for initiation, sourced directly from early manuscripts of the euchology and the typikon of the Hagia Sophia. Readers gain access to essential rites that define the Great Church's historical practices. The text covers the full spectrum of the initiatory journey, from the enrollment of children on the eighth and fortieth days to the specialized prayers used during Lent. It includes detailed accounts of final preparations, such as the consecration of Chrism and the specific rites of apotaxis and syntaxis performed on Good Friday. This study is an invaluable resource for those studying the Easter Vigil, including the Baptismal rites and the subsequent postbaptismal ceremonies. By documenting these rites of closure and provisions for various baptismal feasts, this book offers a clear window into the historical liturgical life of the Byzantine Church.
