The text of the Trisagion reads: "Hagios ho Theos, hagios ischyros, hagios athanatos, eleison hymas" [Holy God, holy and mighty, holy and immortal, have mercy on us]. The Trisagion was first mentioned in the 5th century as a devotional invocation that assumed a liturgical role in Eastern liturgies. For example, in the Byzantine Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the Trisagion precedes the scriptural readings. From the East, it spread to the West, where it assumed a similar position in the eucharist of the ancient Gallican and Mozarabic rites. In the 11th century, the Trisagion appeared in the Roman rite for the liturgy of Good Friday, where it is sung alternately in Greek and Latin with the IMPROPERIA or Reproaches during the veneration of the cross.

It is still there today, though [sadly] not often sung. It is sung first in Greek, then in Latin. The triple [H]AGIOS formulary is: [H]AGIOS O THEOS, Sanctus Deus; [H]AGIOS ISCHYROS, Santus Fortis; [H]AGIOS ATHANATOS, ELEISON HYMAS, Sanctus Immortalis, miserere nobis. By some strange coincidence, I happen to be hearing it sung on a Good Friday CD just as I'm sending this note.

The priest of the pagan religion expresses himself in an inventive and creative Greek where he uses Agios Athanatos Adonai which one could think is taken from the office from Good Friday. I would like to ask my imminent colleagues if it was present in the liturgy pretridentine. Thanks you in advance. *********************** N'en sai plus dire *********************** Denis Hüe, responsable du Master Lettres Langues Communication Centre d'Etude des Textes Médiévaux, (CETM-CELAM) Université de Haute Bretagne http://www.uhb.fr/alc/medieval ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
