Felicia Dumas Fonctions liturgiques et symboliques du vin dans l'orthodoxie Nous comprendrons ici par «orthodoxie» la confession chrétienne qui, restée fidèle aux dogmes, au culte et à l'ecclésiologie fixés par les sept conciles œcuméniques du premier millénaire de son existence, est individualisée en tant qu'Église chrétienne d'Orient après le grand schisme (1054) d'avec l'Église d'Occident, fidèle à Rome. Nous nous rapporterons dans ce travail aux fonctions liturgiques du vin dans l'orthodoxie roumaine en particulier -celle que nous connaissons le mieux -, tout en précisant que ces fonctions et leur symbolique sous-jacente sont pratiquement les mêmes dans l'ensemble de l'orthodoxie.

Tout comme dans la confession catholique, le vin connaît dans l'orthodoxie une symbolique très riche qui engendre -en l'étayant -une fonctionnalité liturgique assez complexe. Nous essaierons de la surprendre à quatre niveaux contextuels: les liturgies eucharistiques et la litiex\ le sacrement du mariage; chandelier restaurant bayonne new jerseyle rituel de la consécration des églises; chandelier nagel 1970 modulable designles offices et rituels pour les morts. chihuly inspired chandelier for saleComme on peut le voir, nous employons le terme «liturgie» dans son acception large: l'ensemble des prières et des offices, la littérature composée des livres liturgiques et des œuvres des écrivains qui ont disserté sur le culte, ainsi que les gestes et mouvements des acteurs liturgiques;

nous réservons le syntagme «divine liturgie, ou liturgie eucharistique» pour désigner l'office central de l'orthodoxie, qu'on appelle en roumain «liturgie» tout court (liturghie ). La liturgie eucharistique Le vin jouit d'une symbolique très importante dans le cadre rituel de la liturgie eucharistique, centrée sur la consécration des espèces, «le corps et le sang du Christ» représentés symboliquement par le pain et 1 Office incorporé dans les vêpres, sans existence liturgique à part, qui consiste en une série de prières de supplication et de bénédiction du pain aspergé de vin, du blé et de l'huile.Orthodox Christian GoodsOur monastic brotherhood tries to supply the best of church goods and gifts to dear Christians struggling to worship God.

Le cercueil du défunt reste ouvert, à son domicile, pendant trois jours (le temps que l’âme se sépare du corps).

Le corps est placé en direction de l’orient (symbole de la venue du Christ). Sur une table, il est déposé du riz ou de blé, du raisin et un peu de miel. La croix orthodoxe est posée sur le cercueil. Le défunt tient entre ses mains, son icône, tournée face à lui ; il a sur le front un bandeau sur lequel est retranscrit une prière.Le cercueil est fermé pendant la cérémonie. Il est recouvert d’un drap violet avec la croix orthodoxe et trois chandeliers sont allumés à ses cotés.Le pope ne sort pas de l’église, l’assistance suit l’entrée du cercueil et s’installe. Des cierges à allumer à l’un des cierges placés autour du cercueil sont distribués. Le pope accompagne la famille au cimetière.//http://www.exarchat.eu/ : site officiel des Archevêché des églises orthodoxes russes en Europe occidentale.http://www.egliserusse.eu/ : Site officiel du diocèse de Chersonèse Patriarcat de MoscouVotes ! St. Gabriel Church is suggested by the Greek Orthodox to be the place of Annunciation.

Home > Sites > Nazareth > St. Gabriel Church St. Gabriel Greek-Orthodox Church  is located in the center of the downtown Nazareth, on the main road, near Mary's Well water trough structure.  this was the place where Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, was announced by the angel Gabriel that she will have a son of God. Note that the Catholics have an alternative location of the Annunciation - at the  Basilica of Annunciation. In the 3rd Century AD a church was built over the springs, following the tradition that the spring was the place of the annunciation. It was later destroyed by the Arab conquest of the 7th C, and rebuilt by the Crusaders in the 12th C. Then it was destroyed again after their defeat In 1767 St Gabriel Church was rebuilt  on top of the ruins of the  Crusader Church.

Their report of Nazareth described St. Gabriel in the Greek quarter of Nazareth  (Volume 1, pp277-278) : "The Virgin's Well is about 600 yards from the Latin monastery, northeast of Nazareth. Immediately north of it is the Greek Church of St. Gabriel, which was rebuilt about the end of the last century.

In this text is the story of the annunciation: "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.  And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called theAnd, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who wasFor with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her".
