Divine liturgy of St. John Chrysostom
The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is the most widely celebrated Divine Liturgy in the rite of the Byzantine churches . It takes its name from the anaphora that forms the centerpiece and is attributed to John Chrysostom .
It is, so to speak, the orthodox counterpart to the Catholic Ordo missae in the Roman rite .
history
The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is the work of the Cappadocian fathers back to the heresy to fight and Trinitarian theology to define. It was probably the liturgy originally practiced by the theological school of Antioch . It was therefore probably developed from the West Syrian rite . In Constantinople , the liturgy was refined and embellished under the direction of the Patriarch John of Constantinople (398–404). It had become the liturgy of the Great Church , the basilica of Hagia Sophia , and over time it became the common liturgy in the churches of the Byzantine Empire . The two liturgies of John Chrysostom and Basil became the rule under Justinian I.
