| Summary: | In recent years liturgiologists have abandoned the search for a primitive consecration prayer which was universally employed in the early Church. It is now realized that while the essential eucharistic action was everywhere the same, the way in which it was done, and the interpretation of what was being done, differed considerably in the local churches. There were, for example, many local peculiarities in the Syrian and Egyptian rites, some of which probably reflect differences in the interpretation of what was being done, that is to say, differences in doctrine. Development took place, and the old was sometimes allowed to remain alongside the new. Thus the liturgy of Sarapion reveals a double tradition with regard to the consecration. |
