TEXTUL RELIGIOS CANTABIL (ACATISTUL) - ORIGINE, STRUCTURĂ, PARTICULARITĂȚI
Chanted Religious Text (Akathist) – Origin, Structure, Features

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the role of the hymnography for the christian orthodox culture. From her earliest centuries, the Christian Church has used iconography and hymnography, both are artistic media bound within the frames of dogma that communicate a sacred curriculum to the faithful by engaging two of the five senses, allowing the eyes to see and the ears to hear. Some hymns unequivocally declare the great dogmatic truths, others the love of God, and others place our pain, problems and aspirations before God and His Saints. Orthodox hymnography and the homiletics are the most productive genres, viable in the twenty-first century. This study will explore the origin, evolution, structure of the Akathist hymn.
