This event will is co-sponsored with the Lumen Christi Institute.
From the fourth to eighth centuries, liturgical commentaries flourished to explain the meaning of the sacramental life of the Church. Notably after the fourth century, the tradition of Jerusalem developed another genre for mystagogy, namely hymnography. As part of the structure of the liturgical services, they explain to the faithful what is happening during the services, rather before or after the celebration. In this way, hymnography has an exegetical function, commenting on scripture and the mystery of salvation in Christ. Dr. Daniel Galadza will explore this hymnographic tradition and its relation to the formation of liturgical theology.
This event will be presented on Zoom (registration required), as well as through live-stream on YouTube.
