The Church of Jerusalem, the 'mother of the churches of God',
influenced all of Christendom before it underwent multiple
captivities between the eighth and thirteenth centuries: first,
political subjugation to Arab Islamic forces, then displacement of
Greek-praying Christians by Crusaders, and finally ritual
assimilation to fellow Orthodox Byzantines in Constantinople. All
three contributed to the phenomenon of the Byzantinization of
Jerusalem's liturgy, but only the last explains how it was
completely lost and replaced by the liturgy of the imperial
capital, Constantinople. The sources for this study are
rediscovered manuscripts of Jerusalem's liturgical calendar and
lectionary. When examined in context, they reveal that the
devastating events of the Arab conquest in 638 and the destruction
of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009 did not have as detrimental an effect
on liturgy as previously held. Instead, they confirm that the
process of Byzantinization was gradual and locally-effected, rather
than an imposed element of Byzantine imperial policy or ideology of
the Church of Constantinople. Originally, the city's worship
consisted of reading scripture and singing hymns at places
connected with the life of Christ, so that the link between holy
sites and liturgy became a hallmark of Jerusalem's worship, but the
changing sacred topography led to changes in the local liturgical
tradition. Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem is the first
study dedicated to the question of the Byzantinization of
Jerusalem's liturgy, providing English translations of many
liturgical texts and hymns here for the first time and offering a
glimpse of Jerusalem's lost liturgical and theological tradition.
