Canonical Orders on the celebration of the Divine Liturgy

Summary/Abstract: The present study highlights the fact that the canonic ordinances refering to the celebration of the Holy Liturgy are extremely complex and the Church has always focused on the service when bread and wine are transformed in the Body and the Blood of God turned into man for the world’s salvation. Starting from the analysis and interpretation of a series of Canons, we will discuss the most important aspects concerning the celebration of the Holy Liturgy: the officiator of the Holy Liturgy, liturgical books, the substances used at the Holy Eucharist, the place used for celebrating the Holy Liturgy, the celebration of the Liturgy in the presence of heretics, the fasting and food abstinence of the Liturgy officiators, the clergyman and the restriction imposed by defrocking and the participation at the Holy Liturgy.
