Abstract
Liturgy and Literature � An Autumn liturgy for Easter in the Southern Hemisphere. The aim of this article was to explore possibilities regarding the liturgical inculturation of the Easter liturgy in the Southern Hemisphere. The Easter liturgy originated in the Northern Hemisphere, where it was and is celebrated during Spring with all its concomitant symbolism of new life. That symbolism seems to be lacking in the Easter liturgy in the Southern Hemisphere, where Easter occurs during Autumn. In order to address this issue an interdisciplinary exploration of the themes of both the Easter liturgy and the liturgical ordo was undertaken, as well as a study of Afrikaans poems about Autumn. An example of a liturgy making use of the ecumenical-protestant fourfold order of worship [ordinarium] and enriched with liturgical elements based on the poems studied here as well as some traditions relating to the Easter liturgy [proprium] is presented. As a whole this article serves as an example of how Liturgical Studies can seek alliances with other disciplines in order to address its own questions and for its own purposes.

In sy bekende artikel wat handel oor die gebruik van sosiale wetenskappe in liturgiewetenskap, ‘For our own purposes: the appropriation of the social sciences in liturgical studies’, doen die gereformeerde liturgis John Witvliet (2007) ’n kritiese evaluasie van hoe ander dissiplines in gesprek kan tree met die Liturgiewetenskap, maar pleit dan dat sulke alliansies ‘for our own purposes’ sal wees en dat die besondere objek en doel Hierdie artikel dien as ’n voorbeeld van hoe Letterkunde as vakgebied by uitstek ’n goeie gespreksgenoot vir Liturgiewetenskap kan wees, aangesien die twee velde heelwat in gemeen het, onder andere ’n kreatiewe en kritiese wetenskaplike omgaan met die (W)woord
