| description | In the Eastern Orthodox Church, liturgical space and
liturgical objects, following the Byzantine tradition, occupy a central
role. How is this liturgical significance transposed in the bishops and
priests` ambon discourse? More specifically: the visible consecrated
objects worn or used by the Orthodox Christian clergy while they are
preaching -such as a blessing or pectoral cross, a bible, a lighted
candle, a bishop`s staff and even the liturgical garments in themselves
- are rhetorical? This paper, by reviewing some of the classical and
modern rhetorical concepts, reveals that these specific “wearable”
liturgical objects are referring mainly to the preacher’s pre-existing
ethos, which indicates that he has a prior institutional and moral
authority to address the faithful. |
