Description: Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem, Paperback by Galadza, Daniel, ISBN 0198843534, ISBN-13 9780198843535, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The Church of Jerusalem, the mother of the churches of God, influenced all of Christendom before it underwent multiple captivities between the eighth and thirteenth centuries: first, political subjugation to Arab Islamic forces, then displacement of Greek-praying Christians by Crusaders, and
finally ritual assimilation to fellow Orthodox Byzantines in Constantinople. All three contributed to the phenomenon of the Byzantinization of Jerusalems liturgy, but only the last explains how it was completely lost and replaced by the liturgy of the imperial capital, Constantinople. The sources
for this study are rediscovered manuscripts of Jerusalems liturgical calendar and lectionary. When examined in context, they reveal that the devastating events of the Arab conquest in 638 and the destruction of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009 did not have as detrimental an effect on liturgy as
previously held. Instead, they confirm that the process of Byzantinization was gradual and locally-effected, rather than an imposed element of Byzantine imperial policy or ideology of the Church of Constantinople. Originally, the citys worship consisted of reading scripture and singing hymns at
places connected with the life of Christ, so that the link between holy sites and liturgy became a hallmark of Jerusalems worship, but the changing sacred topography led to changes in the local liturgical tradition. Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem is the first study dedicated to the
question of the Byzantinization of Jerusalems liturgy, providing English translations of many liturgical texts and hymns here for the first time and offering a glimpse of Jerusalems lost liturgical and theological tradition.
