ABSTRACT

Themes of Christian initiation permeate the Old Hispanic liturgy for the three weeks before Easter, culminating in the Easter Vigil baptisms. Previous scholars have examined the initiation prayers, readings, and sermons in detail, exploring their connections with the writings of Ildephonsus of Toledo (d. 667). In this article, we consider the initiation rituals from the perspectives of liturgical movement and chant. On Mid-Lent Sunday (three weeks before Easter) and Palm Sunday, the themes of these rituals were developed both in the processional chants and the initiation-themed chants that surrounded them. These materials provide a rich source of information about how initiation theology was enacted through ritual movement and sound.

摘要

基督教入会的主题渗透到复活节前三周的古西班牙礼拜仪式中，并在复活节守夜洗礼中达到顶峰。先前的学者详细研究了入会祈祷、读经和布道，探索它们与托莱多的伊尔德丰索斯（Ildephonsus of Toledo，卒于 667 年）著作的联系。在本文中，我们从礼仪动作和圣歌的角度来考虑启蒙仪式。在四旬期中间主日（复活节前三周）和棕枝主日，这些仪式的主题在游行圣歌和围绕它们的入会主题圣歌中得到发展。这些材料提供了关于如何通过仪式动作和声音来实施启蒙神学的丰富信息来源。
