A commentary on the Divine Liturgy According to St John Chrysostom |
How was the Divine Liturgy celebrated in Hagia Sophia in the sixth century?
A layman’s attempt to trace it back to Emperor Justinian’s time guided by Pseudo-Dionysius’ Ecclesiastical Hierarchy and the subsequent Greek commentaries written on the Byzantine Liturgy.
We must remember that the Byzantine rite is basically the rite of the Great Church [Hagia Sophia].
