The Divine Liturgy of St Basil
Byzantine rite · Eastern Orthodox Church · Greek
Served on the five Sundays of the Great Fast, on Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday, on the eves of the Nativity and of Theophany, and on Basil's own day — ten days in the year, which is the count of the days the Typikon appoints rather than a total it states.
leavened bread
A form of The Eucharist — The thing the church does that it has always done, and the one whose FORM divides more sharply than its meaning: East and West agreed on what it is for a thousand years and broke over the bread.
