I sincerely doubt any so called Western Orthodox churches would be interested in this true tradition; they are far more interested in liturgical mythology, complete with a full modern byzantine ikonostasis, byzantine bric-a-brac and klabooks. Nothing as beautiful as this...our true traditions.
Very stately and full of meaning, to bad such has been largely lost to western Christendom. It would be well if this could be rendered reverently into vernacular and restored in Western Orthodox Churches.
Thsi is brilliant - right down to the bare feet. and semi-prostrations. But it would only work in a place where everybody knew everybody. Otherwise one would be too frightened/embarrassed.
Is this a re-enactment, btw? Or a one-off special?
@maggijude We’re glad you enjoyed it. This was an iteration of the Sarum rite for the reconciliation of penitents undertaken in St Teilo’s Church, at St Fagan’s National History Museum, Cardiff as part of a project on text and performance in the medieval liturgy sponsored by the AHRC; further details of the project can be found on the website linked from our youtube profile
