Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present the Bulgarian apocryphal text "The vision of Saint Isaiah the Prophet, son of Amoz" from a different perspective. The identification and systematization of the liturgical elements in this medieval Bulgarian apocryphal text unveil a different aspect of the Apocrypha, which contain elements of the liturgical tradition of both the early Christians and the worship that was evolving in the Middle Ages. The presence of liturgical texts sets the apocryphal literature as the bearer of the Holy Tradition of the Church, and by no meanssupports the claim that the Apocrypha represent only the thoughts and reflections of the author.In this context, apocryphal texts can be considered a basis for the study of the liturgical tradition and its evolution.The presentapocryphal text was being written over a long period of time, and containstraces of early-Christian worship and medieval traditions from the imperial liturgical tradition of Byzantium and Bulgaria.
