Résumé
--
Byzantine liturgy, by its beauty, richness, depth and intrigue, inspires or fascinates many Christians today. However it often remains inaccessible, even incomprehensible. At first glance, the Typikon - the book of liturgy containing the ordo of liturgical celebration - is certainly unreadable. Which is why it is necessary for the neophyte, or the faithful who wish to deepen their practice, to decode it. That is precisely what this book does. Based on lessons given at the Institut de théologie orthodoxe Saint-Serge, it covers the celebration of services during the Byzantine liturgical year: the divine office, special occasions, the Paschal cycle. The procedure and the contents of the liturgical services are first placed in the context of their historical development, before being analysed in detail from the practical viewpoint. All the Orthodox Churches throughout the world use, at the present time, the same liturgical texts and know only minor variations in usages - apart from different languages and melodies - whether they be of the Greek or Russian tradition. This handbook of Byzantine liturgy, the first published in French, contains a rich bibliography and a glossary at the back of the book, contributing to establish a technical liturgical vocabulary that is still rather vague in our language.
