	Introduction to the Divine Liturgy
		In fact, the Divine Liturgy was in practice right after the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Disciples of Christ on the 50th day after His Resurrection, as the sacred writer of the Acts of the Apostles records (Acts 2:46 ff).
		The Divine Liturgy in its swaddlings at the beginning of the Christian era consisted of free hymns and prayers for the officiating of a certain framework of faith.
		The Divine Liturgy as such was the center of the inspiration of the first Christians in their communion with God and with one another.

		In the Divine Liturgy the divine and the human, time and eternity, the now and the remote, spiritual longings and earthly desires, cries of distress and exclamations of joy, and several other contrasts and antinomies are united into an organism of harmony and real life.
		The "Liturgy of the Catechumens" begins with the solemn declaration: "Blessed be the Kingdom of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit now and for ever more." With these words we are reminded that in the Divine Liturgy the Church becomes a real manifestation of God's Kingdom on earth.
		The epilogue of the Divine Liturgy depicts the ascension of the Lord and proclaims the eschatological expectations of the Church.

	THE ANALYSIS OF THE DIVINE LITURGY OF THE ARMENIAN APOSTOLIC ORTHODOX CHURCH
		Although there are references to this Liturgy in the literature of the seventh and ninth centuries, the earliest complete text, which we have, does not go beyond the middle of the tenth century.
		The Armenian Liturgy, which is now used, took its final form and became the dominant Liturgy of the Armenian Church sometimes after the year 950 but before 1177, which is the date when Nerses of Lambron wrote his commentary on the Liturgy.
		The time of the Divine Liturgy is not the time for a scholarly study of the Scriptures, but rather it is a time for a humble and devout attitude of passivity in order to receive light from on high through God's Word.

	Divine Liturgy: Part 1
		"The Holy Mass [The Divine Liturgy] is a prayer itself, even the highest prayer that exists.
		In the Byzantine Rite of the Catholic Church, the bread and wine used for the Divine Liturgy (The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass) are prepared by the priest at a small table located on the left side of the Altar (The Table of Preparation).
		After he has completed this rite (called Proskomedia) the priest leaves the prepared chalice and paten on the Table of Preparation and goes to the Altar to begin the Divine Liturgy.

	Intro to Divine Liturgy - Tawil
		Liturgy, (etymologically, Greek, ergon tou laou: Action of the people) is the act of worship of an organized community which leads to communion with the divinity and with its members.
		The liturgy also entails a certain sacramentalism or a sacred use of elements and of things, since nature has a sacred meaning for men: light, colors, sounds, smells, which have become an integrating part of the liturgical action.
		The Liturgy culminates all its rites in awe-filled adoration before the mystery of the ineffable Thrice Holy One, and causes His presence to be felt in a lively way: this is evident throughout the entire development of the Liturgy...

	The Divine Liturgy
		"Liturgy" itself is a Greek word meaning "common action or service" and signifies that the Mystery of Holy Communion is the reconciling sacrifice of God for the sins of the entire community of faithful, the living and the dead.
		In the Liturgy the earthly life and teachings of Jesus Christ, from His Nativity to His Ascension into Heaven, are recalled, as well as the benefits which He bestowed upon the earth for our salvation.
		Since the Liturgy is the most magnificent of all the church services, in order to give the faithful the opportunity to receive Holy Communion on fast days in the middle of the week, without destroying the character of the divine services of Great Lent, they were provided with the Gifts consecrated earlier.

		The Divine Liturgy of St. Mark is the ancient, traditional main Liturgy of the Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
		However, at a Bishop’s Divine Liturgy, one can still see that the Little Entrance is the real beginning, since the Bishop vests in the centre of the church and does not go up to the Altar until the Entrance with the Gospel (that is, in the custom of the Russian Orthodox Church).

		The liturgy is most logically the collection of a number of composers, however, the chief prayers of the anaphora are attributed to him.
		The Divine Liturgy begins as the celebrant elevates the Gospel, intoning "Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages." This liturgical formula begins every sacramental gathering of the Orthodox Church.
		Following the erinika (the first set of eleven petitions) in the Divine Liturgy, the priest directs the faithful to turn the attention of their souls to the heavenly kingdom, the place of our Father who is glorified by all the saints.

		As regards the general history of the liturgy, Ethiopia was included in the Christian world in the middle of the fourth century; the situation may be described as follows: After a period of religious intolerance, the Church began to have more space to breathe.
		The basilicas were built and the liturgy, basically the same in all the churches, from a simple systematic ceremony, began to be enriched and it developed with characteristics different from one place to another.
		Parallel to other Oriental Liturgies, the Rite of Preparation was introduced placing the Offertory at the beginning of the Divine Liturgy; later the Ceremony of Incensing, the Song of the Trisagion and the Creed were introduced.

		Outwardly, the text is much like the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, but differs by not having the Litany of the Catechumens, giving a slightly different text at the Words of Institution, as well as certain differences in the celebrant’s “exclamations” during the Eucharistic Canon and a different selection of Ambon Prayers at the end.
		It was probably from the Slavic monks on Athos that a book containing these various Liturgies fell into the possession, and worship, of the Cossacks and remained part of their liturgical worship until at least 1962 or 1963.
		By analogy with the Liturgies of St. James and St. Mark, where a similar text occurs, it would appear that this prayer originally was used as the final Dismissal.

		At the conclusion of the Divine and Holy Liturgy, in an action never seen by the faithful, these particles are immersed in the Blood of the Living Christ before being reverently consumed by the celebrant.
		During the Divine Liturgy Holy Icons, the Holy Table, the unconsecrated elements, the Body and Blood of Christ and the people of God including concelebrating clergy are all censed.
		As such, the Church is the instrument of Divine immanence not an institution invested with the saving prerogatives of her Divine Head.

	Fr. Hardon Archives - The Divine Office as Liturgy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Since the Liturgy is the Liturgy because it involves the whole Christ – Head and members – it is therefore the priestly role that we join in with Christ whenever we participate in the Liturgy.
		This is that sadly the Divine Office has been so neglected, so widely, in so many circles – among priests and religious and, tragically, among cloistered contemplatives – that to speak of the Office as Liturgy seems to some to be strange.
		And it is the Liturgy because this social (or corporate) worship is priestly, i.e., given to God for the salvation and sanctification of mankind.

		My question is this: What is the theological reason for the Liturgy of the Preparation being done in secret.
		The first part of the Liturgy, the Prothesis, is done secretly on the Table of Oblation which stands against the north eastern wall of the Altar (the Altar is this entire enclosed area behind the Iconostasis; it is the Holy Table which corresponds to what the Church of the West calls the Altar).

		The liturgy was adapted from the Liturgy of St. James of Jerusalem.
