Armenian Liturgy
The Armenian Liturgy included two different anaphoras of the family of the Liturgies of Saint Basil: the one usually known as Liturgy of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, and the one known simply as Liturgy of Saint Basil. The former is more ancient with own peculiarities while the latter is mainly a translation in Armenian of the Byzantine text. These two anaphoras are not currently used by the Armenian Church which since about the 10th century uses only the Anaphora of Saint Athananius.

Famous quotes containing the words armenian and/or liturgy:
“The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion.... Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
