"Kom og ta del!" Romanos' Julehymne og dens liturgiske kontekst
Author
Summary, in English
How does the language of the kontakia by
Romanos address their liturgical context?
This article presents a new translation of the
poet’s famous Christmas Hymn and investigates
liturgical aspects of the drama by proposing
a liturgical reading of it. Furthermore
it suggests that in retelling the story of the
adoration of the Magi the Melodist tells the
story of the adoration of the congregation.
The Bethlehem scene becomes a liturgical
scene and the contemporary Christmas celebration,
for which the kontakion is written,
becomes a synaxis in a Bethlehem cave.
