СТРУКТУРА КАНОНА НА ЈУТРЕЊУ НА ПРИМЕРУ "СЛУЖБЕ СВЕТОМ ПАТРИЈАРХУ ЈЕФРЕМУ"
THE STRUCTURE OF CANON AT ORTHROS THROUGH THE EXAMPLE OF "THE SERVICE TO HOLY PATRIARCH JEFREM"

Summary/Abstract: The paper shows the connection between the Biblical canticles and canons at orthros, the most important and most solemn part of this church service, through the example of The Service to Holy Patriarch Jefrem by the medieval poet, bishop Marko Pećki. The analysis of the structure of canon at orthros, a liturgical hymn that belongs to the corpus of old Serbian literature, indicates the possibilities of connecting the Biblical text with Serbian medieval texts and its influence on them. Connecting Biblical canticles with the hymns of canon is achieved through irmos, an introductory stanza inspired by the contents of the Holy Bible which links the events from the hagiography with the basic meaning of the Biblical text.
