Odnos Liturgije reči i tritektija

Abstract

The division of the Liturgy into two parts, the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, is well known and generally recognized. This division did not occur by chance and without reason. The reason for this division is easily noticeable when observing the order of the modern Liturgy. The fact is that the core of the first part of the Liturgy, the Liturgy of the Word, is the reading and interpretation of the Scriptures. On the other hand, the Liturgy of the Eucharist is based on the offering of the Mystery over the Mysteries. However, it is not the only reason for such a division of the structures of the Liturgy. Also, reason for this division is the history of the origin of these two parts of the Liturgy. The Liturgy of the Eucharist was in the early history defined as the Eucharist. The liturgy of the Word enters the Eucharist much later. The main assumption is that it derives its origin from the asmatic rite of the Tritecte. The same origin of the Liturgy of the Word and Tritekte is obvious. This conclusion is reached by simple observation of these two rites. In this paper, we will try to point out some different assumptions and conclusions. Trithekte is first mentioned in 8th century writings, as an integral service. On the other hand, the Liturgy of the Word is mentioned in the 5th century. This is the reason why cannot be valid attitude that the tritekte is origin of the Liturgy of the Word. We must look for the answer further in the history of the origin and development of Christian worship. We will look for the answer in the synaxis worship that originated in the early church.
