商品簡介
Liturgy--ritual that is the people's celebration of faith--can be rich, complex, and beautiful; and it apparently varied widely according to time, place, and community. Contributors describe variations in the liturgical year, the particular liturgies practiced in such far-ranging places as the Byzantine Empire and Sweden, liturgy's different physical settings and applications in the arts, and changes in modern appreciation and study. The editors include indices of medieval manuscripts, biblical citations, modern scholars, and feast days. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
