Summary/Abstract: The Byzantine liturgy in Eastern Christian Churches has come a long way from the time of apostles to baptized Slavic lands. The texts of the rites and rules of performance were influenced by both theologians and by the character of the faith of baptized peoples who have survived. Although the Byzantine liturgy itself has reached modern times as a whole family of separate and somewhat different rites, there has been a continuous thread from St. James’ Jerusalem to Slavic-Russian spirituality.
