Gregorian Liturgy

[Andrewn]

Coptic churches use an Anaphora attributed to St. Gregory Nazianzen on significant feast days. The prayers are addressed to Jesus, the Son of God, and include expressions absent from other liturgies. For example, it addresses Christ as "The equal, the co-enthroned, and the co-creator partner with the Father."

Is there evidence of St. Gregory's liturgy/anaphora in EO sources?

Are there other anaphoras addressed to the Son?

I know that EO churches usually use St. Basil's liturgy and occasionally the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. Is there a significant difference between the two?

 

[ArmyMatt]

the main difference basically is that St John’s is shorter than St Basil’s. not sure about the Coptic tradition.

Thank you for the information. It is a little surprising that the liturgy attributed to St. Gregory Nazianzen is unknown in the EO tradition, especially since he was the archbishop of Constantinople.

it’s not unknown, it’s just not how our liturgy developed.

Is it mentioned in ancient EO sources that St. Gregory Nazianzen wrote a liturgy?
