| Summary: | The architectural style of the Eastern Orthodox Church temples in the twentieth century, in most countries that were under the Byzantine Empire, has had minor changes since the fall of the Empire. Orthodoxy is traditional for several reasons, one of which is that it is founded on Tradition. Between the Byzantine Rite and the elements- mostly architectural- there is no simple, clear, and direct correspondence. It is quite impossible to understand the rationale behind the liturgy, arts, and architecture, without a historical context of the Church. Both liturgy and architecture have "an internal logic", and their development is at different rates. The relationship between the Byzantine Rite and architecture goes through the Orthodox Church along with the meaning of the Byzantine Empire for the Church. The Byzantine architectural style of the churches is dynamic and had a lot of development during the time of the Empire. The use of this style by the Orthodox Church in the twentieth century is related to a complex matrix that starts with Tradition and goes through the prosperity that the Empire gave the Church in the first centuries. |
