	Divine Liturgy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is a shortened form of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil.

		Liturgy of Preparation, when the priest (often assisted by a deacon) prepares the bread and wine for the Eucharist (see prosphora).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Alexandrine Liturgy
		After the Prothesis, the Mass of the Cathechumens begins with the greeting of the priest: "Peace to all", to which the people answer: "And with thy spirit." The deacon says "Pray" and they repeat Kyrie eleison three times; the priest then says a collect.
		The characteristic points of this rite are the nine Kyrie eleisons at the beginning, the Offertory prayers said at the altar instead of at the Prothesis, and especially the place of the great Supplication before the Sanctus.
		In St. Mark's liturgy it is: "Receive, O God, the Sacrifice, offerings, and Eucharist of thy servants on Thy holy, heavenly, and spiritual altar in the height of Heaven by the ministry of thy archangels.

	Holy Liturgy
		"Liturgy" was the name given to the act of taking part in the solemn corporate worship of God, officially organized by the church and offered by and for all the members of the church.
		The Armenian Liturgy now in use was influenced during the tenth century by the Byzantine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and during the eleventh century by the Roman Liturgy.
		During the Prothesis the curtain is drawn, symbolizing the incarnation of Jesus Christ in the womb of the Holy Mother of God.

	Alexandrine Liturgy
		A Prothesis (perparation of the oblations before the beginning of the actual liturgy) has been added to it from the Byzantine Liturgy; the Creed is said as at Constantinople just before the Anaphora; the Epiklesis shows signs of the same influence; and the Great entrance is accompanied by a Cherubikon.
		Cyril, also called that of St. Mark, together with the part of the liturgy that is common to all, corresponds exactly to the Greek St. Mark.
		The normal and original Ethiopic use is the "Liturgy of the Twelve Apostles", which is the Coptic St. Cyril done into their own language.

	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.
		In Alexandria, the Liturgy of Mark was used yet in the 12th century as Theodore Balsomon instructed in the 32nd canon of the Synod in Troulo.

	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 veil is drawn during the Prothesis to indicate that Christ took flesh from the Virgin under the veil of mystery of the Incarnation.

		And the liturgy that he describes in his eighth book is that used in his time by the Church of Antioch, with certain modifications of his own.
		The allusions to the liturgy are carefully veiled in the earlier ones because of the disciplina arcani; they became much plainer when he speaks to people just baptized, although even then he avoids quoting the baptism form or the words of consecration.
		The Syriac Liturgy of St. James now extant is not the original one used before the schism, but a modified form derived from it by the Jacobites for their own use.

		It contains two parts: the Liturgy of the Catechumens, sometimes called the Liturgy of the Word, at which the Scriptures are proclaimed and expounded, and the Liturgy of the Faithful, sometimes called the Liturgy of the Eucharist, in which the gifts of bread and wine are offered and consecrated.
		Before the Divine Liturgy begins, the priest and a deacon, if one is serving, begin by preparing the gifts of bread and wine for use in the service.
		The Liturgy of the Catechumens is concluded by a litany praying for the continued growth of the catechumens in faith, leading up to the day of their baptism.

	PROTHESIS - LoveToKnow Article on PROTHESIS
		The term is also used, architecturally, for the place in which this ceremony takes place, a chamber on the north side of the central apse in a Greek church, with a small table.
		In the churches in central Syria the ritual was apparently not the same, as both prothesis and diaconica are generally rectangular, and the former, according to De Vogue, constituted a chamber for the deposit of offerings by the faithful.
		There is always a much wider doorway to the prothesis than to the diaconicon, and there are cases where a side doorway from the central apse leads direct to the diaconicon, but never to the prothesis.

	Handbook to the Christian Liturgy: Part II- Commentary - Introductory Rites
		In some Churches the Prothesis, the rite in which the elements are prepared beforehand, is part of the public worship, and is scarcely separated from the liturgy proper.
		It has now become so closely incorporated with the liturgy as to be looked upon as the beginning of the rite, as the name, which is possibly borrowed from an earlier introduction such as exists in parallel liturgies, indicates.
		Its structure suggests that it was formed for use on days on which the liturgy was not celebrated, and as a substitute for it; later the portions that were not already in the liturgy were placed there at the beginning.

		At the prothesis the priest first cuts a large cube of bread from the loaf of bread, traditionally called the prosphora, which means the offering.
		In addition, pieces of bread are placed on the diskos for the bishop of the given church, for the civil authorities of the country and for all of the faithful both living and dead, once more with particular mention by name of those particularly remembered by the local community.
		The prothesis is a rather late development in the history of the Divine Liturgy.

		The Eastern Liturgies may be broadly divided into West Syrian, originating at Antioch; East Syrian, which arose in what was once known as Persia, and which is usually known as the "Nestorian Liturgy", as they accepted Nestor, a heretic, as their Patriarch.
		DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EUCHARISTIC LITURGY are concerned with: (i) The Offertory; (ii) the Eucharistic Prayer; (iii) the Fraction, that is the ritual breaking of bread; (iv) the communion of celebrant, ministers and congregation.
		In the Egyptian Rite (the Liturgy of St. Mark), the intercessions (which still possess certain interesting remnants of the collect-form) are recited in the middle of the Anaphora before the Sanctus, and so cause an interruption in the Eucharistic Prayer.

	On The Divine Liturgy
		The Liturgy can only be celebrated by a canonically ordained Bishop or Presbyter on a consecrated Holy Table in church, or, in exceptional cases, elsewhere on the specially consecrated antimension, or liturgical cloth.
		The rest of the course of the Liturgy is indeed a glorifying of the Trinity.
		Every moment of the Liturgy, especially its most important part after the Cherubic Hymn, is in accordance with the celebration of the Liturgy in the ancient Christian Church, as those written records that have come down to us testify.

		For liturgies where expected attendance is low, that number may be lowered, but the norm is to use five.
		My understanding of the distinction between antidoron and prosphora is the same as yours, though—prosphora is the bread in general, from which the lamb and the antidoron are taken.
		It's interesting the way y'all use prothesis and proskomedia, though—the usage I'm familiar with is that the Proskomedia is the service, whereas the prothesis is the table on which that service is performed.

		The present position of the Diptychs of the Departed, in almost all liturgies which preserve them, is in the Great Intercession, where prayers are offered for the whole Church, and the names of those living persons who need specially to be mentioned are read; the names of the departed usually follow.
