THE PILGRIMAGE OF ETHERIA

(Much is wanting.)

THE APPROACH = TO SINAI=20

. . . . . . . . .

. . . were pointed out according to the Scriptures. In the meanwhile = we came=20 on foot to a certain place where the mountains, through which we were=20 journeying, opened out and formed an infinitely great valley, quite flat = and=20 extraordinarily beautiful, and across the valley appeared Sinai, the = holy=20 mountain of God. And this place, where the mountains opened out, lies = next to=20 the place where are the graves of lust.1 Now on reaching that = spot,=20 the holy guides who were with us told us, saying: "The custom is that = prayer=20 should be made by those who arrive here, when from this place the mount = of God=20 is first seen." And this we did. The whole distance from that place to = the mount=20 of God was about four miles across the aforesaid great valley.
For = that=20 valley is indeed very great, lying under the slope of the mount of God, = and=20 measuring, as far as we could judge by our sight, or as they told us, = about=20 sixteen miles in length, but they called its=20

1 Eng. Bible, Kibroth-hattaavah, Num. xi. 34.=20

<2>

breadth four miles. We had, therefore, to cross that valley in order = to reach=20 the mountain. Now this is the great and flat valley wherein the children = of=20 Israel waited during those days when holy Moses went up into the mount = of the=20 Lord and remained there forty days and forty nights.1 This = moreover=20 is the valley in which that calf was made,2 and the spot is = shown to=20 this day, for a great stone stands fixed there on the very site. This = also is=20 the same valley at the head of which is the place where, while holy = Moses was=20 feeding his father-in-law's flocks, God spake to him twice out of the = burning=20 bush.3 And as our route was first to ascend the mount of God, = which=20 is in sight here=E3[because] the ascent was easier by the way we were = coming=E3and=20 then to descend to the head of the valley where the bush was, that being = the=20 easier descent, so we determined, having first seen all that we desired, = to=20 descend from the mount of God so as to arrive at the place of the bush, = and=20 thence to return on our journey throughout the whole length of the = valley,=20 together with the men of God, who there showed us each place which is = mentioned=20 in the Scriptures. And so it was done. Thus, going from that spot where = we had=20 prayed when we arrived from Faran,4 our route was to cross the middle of = the=20 head of that valley, and so turn to the mount of God.
Now the whole = mountain=20 group looks as if it were a single peak, but, as you enter the group, = [you see=20 that] there are more than one; the whole group however is called the = mount of=20 God. But that special peak which is crowned by the place where, as it is

1 Exod. xxiv. 18.
2 Exod. = xxxii.
3=20 Exod. iii. I ff.
4 LXX, Fara&n: Eng. Bible, Paran.=20

<3>

written, the Glory of God descended, is in the centre of them=20 all.1 And though all the peaks in the group attain such a = height as I=20 think I never saw before, yet the central one, on which the Glory of God = came=20 down, is so much higher than them all, that when we had ascended it, all = those=20 mountains which we had thought to be high, were so much beneath us as if = they=20 were quite little hills. This is certainly very wonderful, and not, I = think,=20 without the favour of God, that while the central height, which is = specially=20 called Sinai, on which the Glory of the Lord descended, is higher than = all the=20 rest, yet it cannot be seen until you reach its very foot, though before = you go=20 up it. But after that you have fulfilled your desire and descend, you = can see it=20 from the other side, which you cannot do before you begin to ascend. = This I had=20 learned from information given by the brethren before we had arrived at = the=20 mount of God, and after I arrived I saw that it was manifestly so.

THE ASCENT OF SINAI

We reached the mountain late on the sabbath, and arriving at a = certain=20 monastery, the monks who dwelt there received us very kindly, showing us = every=20 kindness; there is also a church and a priest there. We stayed there = that night,=20 and early on the Lord's Day, together with the priest and the monks who = dwelt=20 there, we began the ascent of the mountains one by one. These mountains = are=20 ascended with infinite toil, for you cannot go up gently by a spiral

1 Exod. xix. 18, 20.=20

<4>

track, as we say snail-shell wise, but you climb straight up the = whole way,=20 as if up a wall, and you must come straight down each mountain until you = reach=20 the very foot of the middle one, which is specially called Sinai. By = this way,=20 then, at tha bidding of Christ our God, and helped by the prayers of the = holy=20 men who accompanied us, we arrived at the fourth hour, at the summit of = Sinai,=20 the holy mountain of God, where the law was given, that is, at the place = where=20 the Glory of the Lord descended on the day when the mountain = smoked.1=20 Thus the toil was great, for I had to go up on foot, the ascent being = impossible=20 in the saddle, and yet I did not feel the toil, on the side of the = ascent, I=20 say, the toil, because I realized that the desire which I had was being=20 fulfilled at God's bidding. In that place there is now a church, not = great in=20 size, for the place itself, that is the summit of the mountain, is not = very=20 great; nevertheless, the church itself is great in grace. When, = therefore, at=20 God's bidding, we had arrived at the summit, and had reached the door of = the=20 church, lo, the priest who was appointed to the church came from his = cell and=20 met us, a hale old man, a monk from early life, and an ascetic as they = say here,=20 in short one worthy to be in that place; the other priests also met us, = together=20 with all the monks who dwelt on the mountain, that is, not hindered by = age or=20 infirmity. No one, however, dwells on the very summit of the central = mountain;=20 there is nothing there excepting only the church and the cave where holy = Moses=20 was.2 When the whole

1 Exod. xix. 18.
2 Exod. xxxiii. 22.=20

<5>

passage from the book of Moses had been read in that place, and when = the=20 oblation had been duly made, at which we communicated, and as we were = coming out=20 of the church, the priests of the place gave us = eulogiae,1=20 that is, of fruits which grow on the mountain. For although the holy = mountain=20 Sinai is rocky throughout, so that it has not even a shrub on it, yet = down=20 below, near the foot of the mountains, around either the central height = or those=20 which encircle it, there is a little plot of ground where the holy monks = diligently plant little trees and orchards, and set up oratories with = cells near=20 to them, so that they may gather fruits which they have evidently = cultivated=20 with their own hands from the soil of the very mountain itself. So, = after we had=20 communicated, and the holy men had given us eulogiae, and we had = come out=20 of the door of the church, I began to ask them to show us the several = sites.=20 Thereupon the holy men immediately deigned to show us the various = places. They=20 showed us the cave where holy Moses was when he had gone up again into = the mount=20 of God,2 that he might receive the second tables after he had = broken=20 the former ones when the people sinned; they also deigned to show us the = other=20 sites which we desired to see, and those which they themselves well = knew. But I=20 would have you to know, ladies, reverend sisters, that from=20

1 This word is still used in the Eastern Church for food = which has=20 been blessed by a priest, e. g. the first fruits from an orchard or a = vineyard,=20 viands on a table after "grace" has been pronounced over them, etc. Cf. = Gen.=20 xxxiii. 11, etc. See Brightman, East. Lit. p. 597, and for other = more=20 strictly Iiturgical uses, ibid. p. 577.

<6>

the place where we were standing, round outside the walls of the = church, that=20 is from the summit of the central mountain, those mountains, which we = could=20 scarcely climb at first, seemed to be so much below us when compared = with the=20 central one on which we were standing, that they appeared to be little = hills,=20 although they were so very great that I thought that I had never seen = higher,=20 except that this central one excelled them by far.
From thence we saw = Egypt=20 and Palestine, and the Red Sea and the Parthenian Sea,1 which = leads=20 to Alexandria and the boundless territories of the Saracens, all so much = below=20 us as to be scarcely credible, but the holy men pointed out each one of = them to=20 us.

HOREB

Having then fulfilled all the desire with which we had hastened to = ascend, we=20 began our descent from the summit of the mount of God which we had = ascended to=20 another mountain joined to it, which is called Horeb, where there is a = church.=20 This is that Horeb where was holy Elijah the prophet, when he fled from = the face=20 of Ahab the king, and where God spake to him and said: What doest = thou here,=20 Elijah?2 as it is written in the books of the Kings. The = cave=20 where holy Elijah lay hid is shown to this day before the door of the = church=20 which is there. A stone altar also is shown which holy Elijah raised to = make an=20 offering to God; thus the holy men deigned to show

1 i. e. the eastern end of the Mediterranean: see=20 Introduction, p. xviii. n.
2 1 Kings xix. 9.=20

<7>

us each place. There, too, we made the oblation, with very earnest = prayer,=20 and also read the passage from the book of the Kings; for it was our = special=20 custom that, when we had arrived at those places which I had desired to = visit,=20 the appropriate passage from the book should always be read. The = oblation having=20 been made there, we came to another place not far off, which the priests = and=20 monks pointed out to us, where holy Aaron had stood with the seventy = elders,=20 when holy Moses was receiving the law from the Lord for the children of=20 Israel.1 In that place, although it is not covered in, there = is a=20 great rock which has a flat surface, rounded in shape, on which those = holy men=20 are said to have stood; there is also in the midst of it a kind of altar = made of=20 stones. The passage from the book of Moses was read there, and one = psalm,=20 suitable to the place. Then, after prayer had been made, we descended = thence.

THE BUSH

And now it began to be about the eighth hour, and there were still = three=20 miles left before we could get out of the mountains which we had entered = late on=20 the previous day; we had not, however, to go out on the same side by = which we=20 had entered, as I said above, because it was necessary that we should = walk past=20 and see all the holy places and the cells that were there, and thus come = out at=20 the head of the valley, as I said above, that is of the valley that lies = under=20 the mount of God. It was necessary for us to come out

1 Exod. xxiv. 9-14.=20

<8>

at the head of the valley, because there were very many cells of holy = men=20 there, and a church in the place where the bush is, which same bush is = alive to=20 this day and throws out shoots. So having made the whole descent of the = mount of=20 God we arrived at the bush about the tenth hour. This is that bush which = I=20 mentioned above, out of which the Lord spake in the fire to Moses, and = the same=20 is situated at that spot at the head of the valley where there are many = cells=20 and a church. There is a very pleasant garden in front of the church, = containing=20 excellent and abundant water, and the bush itself is in this garden. The = spot is=20 also shown hard by where holy Moses stood when God said to him: Loose = the=20 latchet of thy shoe, and the rest.1 Now it was about the = tenth=20 hour when we had arrived at the place, and so, as it was late, we could = not make=20 the oblation, but prayer was made in the church and also at the bush in = the=20 garden, and the passage from the book of Moses was read according to = custom.=20 Then, as it was late, we took a meal with the holy men at a place in the = garden=20 before the bush; we stayed there also, and next day, rising very early, = we asked=20 the priests that the oblation should be made there, which was done.=20

THE SITES IN THE VALLEY AND THE RETURN TO FARAN

And as our route lay through the middle and along the length of the=20 valley--the same valley, as I said above, where the children of Israel = sojourned=20 while

1 Exod. iii. 5.=20

<9>

Moses ascended into the mount of God and descended thence--so the = holy men=20 showed us each place that we came to in the whole valley. At the top of = the head=20 of the valley where we had stayed and had seen the bush out of which God = spake=20 in the fire to holy Moses, we had seen also the spot on which holy Moses = had=20 stood before the bush when God said to him: Loose the latchet of thy = shoe,=20 for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.1 In = like=20 manner they began to show us the other sites when we set out from the = bush. They=20 showed us the place where the camps of the children of Israel were in = those days=20 when Moses was in the mount. They also showed us the place where the = calf was=20 made, for a great stone is there to this day, fixed on the very spot. = Then, too,=20 as we were going on the other side we saw the top of the mountain which=20 overlooks the whole valley; from which place holy Moses saw the children = of=20 Israel engaged in dancing at the time when they had made the = calf.2=20 They showed us a great rock in the place where holy Moses, as he was = descending=20 with Joshua the son of Nun, in his anger brake the tables that he was = carrying,=20 on the same rock. They showed us where they all had their dwelling = places in the=20 valley, the foundations of which dwelling places appear to this day, = round in=20 form and made with stone. They showed us also the place where holy = Moses, when=20 he returned from the mount, bade the children of Israel run from gate = to=20 gate.3 They showed us also the place where the calf which = Aaron=20 had made for them was burnt at holy Moses' bidding. They showed=20

1 Exod. iii. 5.
2 Exod. xxxii. = 19.
3=20 Exod, xxxii. 27.=20

<10>

us also the stream of which holy Moses made the children of Israel = drink, as=20 it is written in Exodus.1 They showed us also the place where = the=20 seventy men received of the spirit that was upon Moses.2 They = showed=20 us also the place where the children of Israel lusted for meat. They = showed us=20 also the place which is called a Burning, because part of the camp was = consumed=20 what time holy Moses prayed, and the fire ceased.3 They = showed us=20 also the place where it rained manna and quails upon them.4 = Thus were=20 shown to us (the sites of) all the events which in the sacred books of = Moses are=20 recorded to have occurred there, viz., in the valley which, as I have = said, lies=20 under the mount of God, holy Sinai. Now it would be too much to write of = all=20 these things one by one, for so great a number could not be remembered, = but when=20 your affection5 shall read the holy books of Moses it will = more=20 quickly recognize the things that were done in that place. Moreover this = is the=20 valley where the Passover was celebrated when one year had been = fulfilled after=20 that the children of Israel were come out of the land of = Egypt.6 For=20 the children of Israel abode in that valley for some time, that is, = while holy=20 Moses ascended into and descended from the

In the Coptic ostraca found in Egypt we have many parallel=20 expressions; e.g. on an ostracon from Thebes we read: "I, = Andreas,=20 priest, salute the sweetness of thy honoured brothership" (Hall's = Coptic and=20 Greek Texts, p. 71), and again one monk writes to another: "My=20 insignificance salutes thy brotherhood," ibid. p. = 34.

<11>

mount of God the first and the second time; they tarried there also = while the=20 tabernacle was being made, together with all things that were shown (to = Moses)=20 in the mount of God. The place also was shown to us where the tabernacle = was set=20 up by Moses1 for the first time, and all things were finished = which=20 God had bidden Moses in the mount that they should be made. At the very = end of=20 the valley we saw the graves of lust,2 at the place where we = resumed=20 our route, that is where, leaving the great valley, we re-entered the = way by=20 which we had come, between the mountains of which I spoke above. On the = same day=20 we came up with the other very holy monks who, through age or infirmity, = were=20 unable to meet us in the mount of God for the making of the oblation, = who yet=20 deigned to receive us very kindly, when we reached their cells. So now = that,=20 together with the holy men who dwelt there, we had seen all the holy = places we=20 desired, as well as all the places which the children of Israel had = touched in=20 going to and from the mount of God, we returned to Faran in the name of = God. And=20 although I ought always to give thanks to God in all things, not to = speak of=20 these so great favours which He has deigned to confer on me, unworthy as = I am,=20 that I should journey through all these places, although I deserved it = not, yet=20 I cannot sufficiently thank even all those holy men who deigned with = willing=20 mind to receive my littleness in their cells and to guide me surely = through all=20 the places which I was always seeking, according to the holy Scriptures. = Moreover, many of these holy men who dwelt on or around the

1 Exod. xl. 17.
2 Num. xi. 34.=20

<12>

mount of God deigned to escort us back to Faran, but these were of = greater=20 bodily strength.

FARAN TO CLYSMA

Now when we had arrived at Faran, which is thirty-five miles distant = from the=20 mount of God, we were obliged to stay there for two days to rest = ourselves. On=20 the third day, hastening thence, we came to a station in the desert of = Faran,=20 where we had stayed on our outward journey, as I said above. On the next = day we=20 came to water, and, travelling for a little while among the mountains, = we=20 arrived at a station which was on the sea, at the place where the route = leaves=20 the mountains, and begins to run continuously by the sea.1 It = runs by=20 the sea in such a manner that at one time the waves touch the feet of = the=20 animals, while at another the course is through the desert, a hundred, = two=20 hundred, and sometimes even more than five hundred paces from the sea, = for there=20 is no sort of a road there, the whole being sandy desert. The = inhabitants of=20 Faran, who are accustomed to travel there with their camels, put signs = in=20 different places, and make for these signs when they travel in the day = time, but=20 the camels mark the signs at night. In short, the inhabitants of Faran = travel=20 more quickly and safely by night in that place, being accustomed = thereto, than=20 other men can travel in places where there is a clear road. Thus on our = return=20 journey we emerged from the mountains

1 Professor Flinders Petrie in commenting on this passage, = tells=20 me: "The route along the west coast is very truly described, and is = striking=20 after being some days entirely in the desert."=20

<13>

at the place where we entered them on our journey out, and so turned = towards=20 the sea. So also did the children of Israel return from Sinai, the mount = of God,=20 to this place by the way they had come, that is, to the place where we = left the=20 mountains and reached the Red Sea. But while we turned back from this = spot along=20 the route by which we had made our journey out, the children of Israel = marched=20 hence on their own way, as it is written in the books of holy = Moses.1=20 So we returned to Clysma by the same route and the same stations by = which we had=20 come out, and when we had arrived at Clysma we were obliged to stay = there also=20 for rest, because we had travelled hard along the sandy way of the = desert.

CLYSMA TO THE CITY OF ARABIA

Now although I had been acquainted with the land of Goshen ever since = I was=20 in Egypt for the first time, yet [I visited it again] in order that I = might see=20 all the places which the children of Israel touched on their journey out = from=20 Rameses, until they reached the Red Sea at the place which is now called = Clysma=20 from the fort which is there. I desired therefore that we should go from = Clysma=20 to the land of Goshen,2 that is, to the city called Arabia, = which=20 city is in the land of Goshen. The whole territory is called after the = city, the=20 land of Arabia, the land of Goshen, although it is part of Egypt. It is = much=20 better land than all the rest of Egypt. From Clysma, that is from the=20

<14>

Red Sea, there are four desert stations, but though in the desert, = yet there=20 are military quarters at the stations with soldiers and officers who = always=20 escorted us from fort to fort. On that journey the holy men who were = with us,=20 clergy and monks, showed us all the places which I was always seeking in = accordance with the Scriptures; some of these were on the left, some on = the=20 right of our path, some were far distant from, and some near to our = route. For I=20 hope that your affection will believe me [when I say that], as far as I = could=20 see, the children of Israel marched in such wise that as far as they = went to the=20 right, so far did they turn back to the left; as far as they went = forward, so=20 far did they return backward, journeying thus until they reached the Red = Sea.=20 Epauleum1 was shown to us from the opposite side, when we = were at=20 Migdol,2 where there is now a fort with an officer set over = soldiers=20 to maintain Roman discipline. These escorted us thence, according to = custom, to=20 another fort, and Baal-zephon3 was shown to us, when we were = at that=20 place.4 It is a plain above the Red Sea, a]ong the side of = the=20 mountain which I mentioned above, where the children of Israel cried out = when=20 they saw the Egyptians coming after them. Etham5 also was = shown to=20 us, which is on the edge of the wilderness, as it is written, also = Succoth,=20 which is a slight elevation in the middle of a valley, and by this

<15>

little hill the children of Israel encamped. This is the place where = the law=20 of the Passover was received.1 The city of Pithom, which the = children=20 of Israel built,2 was shown to us on the same journey at the = place=20 where, leaving the lands of the Saracens, we entered the territory of = Egypt; the=20 same Pithom is now a fort. The city of Hero,3 which existed = at the=20 time when Joseph met his father Jacob as he came, as it is written in = the book=20 of Genesis, is now a come,4 though a large one--a = village as=20 we say. This village has a church and martyr-memorials, and many cells = of holy=20 monks, so that we had to alight to see each of them, in accordance with = the=20 custom which we had. The village is now called Hero; it is situated at = the=20 sixteenth milestone from the land of Goshen, and it is within the = boundaries of=20 Egypt; moreover, it is a very pleasant spot, for an arm of the Nile = flows there.=20 Then, leaving Hero, we came to the city which is called Arabia, situated = in the=20 land of Goshen, for it is written concerning it that Pharaoh said to = Joseph,=20 In the best of the land of Egypt make thy father and brethren to = dwell, in=20 the land of Goshen, in the land of Arabia.5

RAMESES

Rameses is four miles from the city of Arabia, and in order to arrive = at the=20 station of Arabia, we passed through the midst of Rameses. The city of = Rameses=20 is now open country, without a single habitation, but

<16>

it is certainly traceable, since it was great in circumference and = contained=20 many buildings, for its ruins appear to this day in great numbers, just = as they=20 fell. There is nothing there now except one great Theban stone, on which = are=20 carved two statues of great size, which they say are those of the holy = men,=20 Moses and Aaron, raised in their honour by the children of Israel. There = is also=20 a sycomore tree, which is said to have been planted by the patriarchs; = it is=20 certainly very old, and therefore very small, though it still bears = fruit. And=20 all who have any indisposition go there and pluck off twigs, and it = benefits=20 them. This we learned from information given by the holy bishop of = Arabia, who=20 himself told us the name of the tree in Greek--dendros alethiae, = or as we=20 say, the tree of truth. This holy bishop deigned to meet us at Rameses; = he is an=20 elderly man, truly pious from the time he became a monk, courteous, most = kind in=20 receiving pilgrims, and very learned in the Scriptures of God. He, after = deigning to give himself the trouble of meeting us, showed us everything = there=20 and told us about the aforesaid statues, as well as about the sycomore = tree.=20 This holy bishop also informed us how Pharaoh, when he saw that the = children of=20 Israel had escaped him, before he set out after them, went with all his = army=20 into Rameses and burnt the whole city which was very great, and then set = out=20 thence in pursuit of the children of Israel.=20

EPIPHANY AT THE CITY OF ARABIA
RETURN TO JERUSALEM

Now it fell out by a very happy chance that the day on which we came = to the=20 station of Arabia was

<17>

the eve of the most blessed day of the Epiphany, and the vigils were = to be=20 kept in the church on the same day. Wherefore the holy bishop detained = us there=20 for some two days, a holy man and truly a man of God, well known to me = from the=20 time when I had been in the Thebaid. He became a holy bishop after bein] = a monk,=20 for he was brought up from a child in a cell, for which reason he is so = learned=20 in the Scriptures and chastened in his whole life, as I said above. From = this=20 place we sent back the soldiers who according to Roman discipline had = given us=20 the help of their escort as long as we had walked through suspected = places. Now,=20 however, as the public road--which passed by the city of Arabia and = leads from=20 the Thebaid to Pelusium--ran through Egypt, there was no need to trouble = the=20 soldiers further. Setting out thence we pursued our journey continuously = through=20 the land of Goshen, among vines that yield wine and vines that yield = balsam,=20 among orchards, highly cultivated fields and very pleasant gardens, our = whole=20 route lying along the bank of the river Nile among oft-recurring = estates, which=20 were once the homesteads of the children of Israel. And why should I say = more?=20 for I think that I have never seen a more beautiful country than the = land of=20 Goshen. And travelling thus for two days from the city of Arabia through = the=20 land of Goshen continuously, we arrived at Tatnis,1 the city = where=20 holy Moses was born. This city of Tatnis was once Pharaoh's metropolis. = Now

1 Tatnis, i.e. Zoan (Numb. xiii. 22), but = Archbp.=20 Bernard conjectures Taphnis, in which case the place would be the = Tahpanhes of Jer. xliii. 7 ff. (LXX Tafna&v). For its connexion with "Pharaoh" see = Hastings'=20 D.B. vol. iv. p. 674. The birth-place of Moses is not mentioned = in the=20 Bible.

<18>

although I had already known these places--as I said above--when I = had been=20 at Alexandria and in the Thebaid, yet I wished to learn thoroughly all = the=20 places through which the children of Israel marched on their journey = from=20 Rameses to Sinai, the holy mountain of God; this made it necessary to = return to=20 the land of Goshen and thence to Tatnis. We set out from Tatnis and, = walking=20 along the route that was already known to me, I came to Pelusium. Thence = I set=20 out again, and journeying through all those stations in Egypt through = which we=20 had travelled before, I arrived at the boundary of Palestine. Thence in = the Name=20 of Christ our God I passed through several stations in Palestine and = returned to=20 Aelia,1 that is Jerusalem.

VISIT TO THE JORDAN VALLEY

Having spent some time there, at God's bidding my will was to go as = far as=20 Arabia, to mount Nebo, where God commanded Moses to go up, saying to = him: Get=20 thee up into the mountain Arabot,2 into Mount Nebo, = which is=20 in the land of Monb, that is over against Jericho, and behold the land = of=20 Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession, and = die in=20 the Mount whither thou goest up. So Jesus our God, who will not = forsake them=20 that hope in Him, deigned to give effect to this my wish. Wherefore

1 Helia in the text. Aelia Capitolina was the name = given to=20 the colony, which the Emperor Hadrian set up on Mount Sion A.D. 132. The = retention of the name by an ecclesiastic like Etheria points to an early = rather=20 than a late date for her visit: see Heinichen on Eus., H.E. iv.=20 6.
2 The LXX here (Deut. xxxii. 49 f.) has 'Abarei/n (Eng. Bible, = Abarim). The=20 Pilgrim has apparently put Arabot (LXX 'Arabw&q =3D plains in Heb.) by mistake. See note 4 = on p. 19.=20

<19>

setting out from Jerusalem and journeying with holy men, with a = priest and=20 deacons from Jerusalem and with certain brothers, that is monks, we came = to that=20 spot on the Jordan where the children of Israel had crossed when holy = Joshua,=20 the son of Nun, had led them over Jordan, as it is written in the book = of=20 Joshua, the son~of Nun.1 The place where the children of = Reuben and=20 of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh had made an altar was shown us a = little=20 higher up2 on that side of the river-bank where Jericho is. = Crossing=20 the river we came to a city called Livias,3 which is in the = plain=20 where the children of Israel encamped at that time, for the foundations = of the=20 camp of the children of Israel and of their dwellings where they abode = appear=20 there to this day. The plain is a very great one, lying under the = mountains of=20 Arabia above the Jordan; it is the place of which it is = written:4=20 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the Arabot Moab on the = Jordan=20 over against Jericho, forty days. This is the place where, after = Moses'=20 death, Joshua the son of Nun was straightway filled with the spirit = of=20 wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him, as it is = written.5=20 This is the place where Moses wrote the book of Deuteronomy, and where = he=20 spake in the cars of all the congregation of Israel the

1 Josh. iii. 14; xxii. 10, 11.
2 i.e. = on the=20 west side.
3 This is the Beth-haran of Numb. xxxii. = 36 and=20 Josh. xiii. 27, which was rebuilt and called Livias by Herod the = Tetrarch in=20 honour of the Empress Livia.
4 Deut. xxxiv. 8. The LXX = has: e)n 'Arabw_q Mwa&b e)pi\ tou~ = 'Iorda&nou=20 kata_  9Iereixw_ tria&konta h(me&rav. The Eng. Bible = puts=20 "plains of Moab" instead of "Arabot M." The Pilgrim's "forty days" for = "thirty"=20 is no doubt an error.

<20>

words of this song until it was ended; it is written in the = book of=20 Deuteronomy.1 Here holy Moses, the man of God, blessed the=20 children2 of Israel one by one, in order, before his=20 death.3 So when we had arrived at this plain, we went to the = very=20 spot, and prayer was made; here, too, a certain part of Deuteronomy was = read, as=20 well as his song, with the blessings which he pronounced over the = children of=20 Israel; after the reading, prayer was made a second time, and giving = thanks to=20 God, we moved on thence. For it was always customary with us that, = whenever we=20 succeeded in reaching the places we desired to visit, prayer should = first be=20 made there, then the lection should be read from the book, then one = appropriate=20 psalm should be said, then prayer should be made again. At God's bidding = we=20 always kept to this custom, whenever we were able to come to the places = we=20 desired. After this, that the work begun should be accomplished, we = began to=20 hasten in order to reach mount Nebo. As we went, the priest of the = place, i.=20 e. Livias, whom we had prayed to accompany us from the station, = because he=20 knew the places well, advised us, saying: "If you wish to see the water = which=20 flows from the rock, which Moses gave to the children of Israel when = they were=20 thirsty, you can see it if you are willing to undertake the labour of = going=20 about six miles out of the way." When he had said this, we very eagerly = wished=20 to go, and turning at once out of our way, we followed the priest who = led us. In=20 that place there is a little church under a mountain, not Nebo, but

1 Deut. xxxi. 30.
2 i. e. the = tribes.=20
3 Deut. xxxiii.=20

<21>

another height behind, yet not far from Nebo. Many truly holy monks = dwell=20 there, whom they call here ascetics.
These holy monks deigned to = receive us=20 very kindly, and permitted us to go in to greet them. When we had = entered and=20 prayer had been made with them, they deigned to give us=20 eulogiae,1 which they are wont to give to those whom = they=20 receive kindly. There, in the midst, between the church and the cells, = there=20 flows from out of the rock a great stream of water, very beautiful and = limpid,=20 and excellent to the taste. Then we asked those holy monks who dwelt = there what=20 was this water of so good a flavour, and they said: "This is the water = which=20 holy Moses gave to the children of Israel in this desert."2 = So prayer=20 was made there according to custom, the lection was read from the books = of Moses=20 and one psalm said, then--with the holy clergy and monks who had come = with=20 us--we went out to the mountain. Many of the holy monks also who dwelt = by that=20 water, and who could undertake the labour, deigned to ascend mount Nebo = with us.=20 So setting out thence, we arrived at the foot of mount Nebo, which was = very=20 high; nevertheless the greater part could be ascended sitting on asses, = though a=20 little bit was steeper and had to be climbed laboriously on foot, which = was=20 done.

1 Archbp. Bernard translates this "gifts of blessing." = Small=20 loaves, called "blessings" were sent by ecclesiastics to one another. = See=20 supra, p. 5. Cf. Bigg, Wayside Studies in Eccles. History, = p.=20 38.

<22>

MOUNT NEBO

We arrived, then, at the summit of the mountain, where there is now a = church=20 of no great size, on the very top of mount Nebo. Inside the church, in = the place=20 where the pulpit is, I saw a place a little raised, containing about as = much=20 space as tombs usually contain. I asked the holy men what this was, and = they=20 answered: "Here was holy Moses laid by the angels, for, as it is = written: No=20 man knoweth of his burial,1 since it is certain that he = was=20 buried by the angels. His tomb, indeed, where he was laid, is = [not2]=20 shown to this day; for as it was shown to us by our ancestors who dwelt = here=20 where [he was laid], so do we show it to you, and our ancestors said = that this=20 tradition was handed down to them by their own ancestors." So prayer was = made=20 anon, and all things that we were accustomed to do in their order in = every place=20 were done here also, and we began to go out of the church. Then they who = knew=20 the place--the priests and holy monks--said to us: " If you wish to see = the=20 places that are mentioned in the books of Moses, come out of the door of = the=20 church, and from the very summit, from the side on which they are = visible from=20 here, look and see,3 and we will tell you each place that is visible = from=20 hence." Then we rejoiced greatly and immediately came out. From the door = of the=20 church

1 Deut. xxxiv. 6. Archbp. Bernard translates = sepulturam,=20 how he was buried, and his note in loc. is: "I have = followed Geyer=20 in supposing that the monks interpreted sepultura of the = act=20 rather than of the place of burial: in no other way is it = possible to=20 make sense of the passage."
2 Geyer, note in loc., = thinks=20 that the non should be deleted.

<23>

we saw the place where the Jordan runs into the Dead Sea, which place = appeared below us as we stood. On the opposite side we saw not only = Livias,=20 which was on the near side of Jordan, but also Jericho, which was beyond = Jordan;=20 to so great a height rose the lofty place where we stood, before the = door of the=20 church. The greatest part of Palestine, the land of promise, was in = sight,=20 together with the whole land of Jordan, as far as it could be seen with = our=20 eyes. On the left side we saw all the lands of the Sodomites and=20 Segor1 which is the only one of the five cities that exists = to-day.=20 There is a memorial of it, but nothing appears of those other cities but = a heap=20 of ruins, just as they were turned into ashes. The place where was the=20 inscription concerning Lot's wife was shown to us, which place is read = of in the=20 Scriptures.2 But believe me, reverend ladies, the pillar = itself=20 cannot be seen, only the place is shown, the pillar is said to have been = covered=20 by the Dead Sea. Certainly when we saw the place we saw no pillar, I = cannot=20 therefore deceive you in this. The bishop of the place, that is of = Segor, told=20 us that it is now some years since the pillar could be seen. The spot = where the=20 pillar stood is about six miles from Segor, and the water now covers the = whole=20 of this space. Then we went to the right side of the church, out of = doors and=20 opposite to us two cities were pointed out, the one Esebon,3 = now=20 called Exebon, which belonged to Seon, king of the Amorites, and the = other, now=20 called

<24>

Sasdra,1 the city of Og the king of Basan. = Fogor,2=20 which was a city of the kingdom of Edom, was also pointed out from = thence,=20 opposite to us. All these cities which we saw were situated on = mountains, but a=20 little below them the ground seemed fo be flatter. Then we were told = that in the=20 days when holy Moses and the children of Israel had fought against those = cities,=20 they had encamped there, and indeed the signs of a camp were visible = there.=20 [From] the side of the mountain which I have called the left, which was = over the=20 Dead Sea, a very sharp-cut mountain was shown to us, which was formerly = called=20 Agri specula.3 This is the mountain on which Balak the son of = Beor=20 placed Balaam the sooth-sayer to curse the children of Israel, and God = refused=20 to permit it, as it is written. Then, having seen everything that we = desired, we=20 returned in the Name of God through Jericho back to Jerusalem along the = whole of=20 the route by which we had come.

VISIT TO AUSITIS

Now after some time I wished to go to the region of = Ausitis4 to=20 visit the tomb of holy Job, for the sake of prayer. For I used to see = many holy=20 monks coming thence to Jerusalem to visit the holy places for the sake = of=20 prayer, who, giving information of everything concerning those places, = increased=20 my desire to

1 LXX 'Edra&eim,=20 Eng. Bible, Edrei. Numb. xxi. 33; Deut. iii. 10.
2 LXX = Fogw&r, Eng. Bible, Peor. = Numb. xxiii.=20 28; Deut. iv. 46.
3 i.e. the a)grou~ skopia& (peak of the field) of the LXX. = Numb. xxiii=20 14. The Eng. Bible has "the field of Zophim."
4 LXX Au)si=3Dtiv, Eng. Bible Uz, = Job i. 1.=20

<25>

undertake the toil of going to them also, if indeed that can be = called toil=20 by which a man sees his desire to be fulfilled. So I set out from = Jerusalem with=20 the holy men who deigned to give me their company on my journey--they = themselves=20 also going for the sake of prayer--making my journey from Jerusalem = through=20 eight stations to Carneas. The city of Job is now called Carneas, but it = was=20 formerly called Dennaba,1 in the land of Ausitis, on the = confines of=20 Idumea and Arabia. Travelling on this journey I saw on the bank of the = river=20 Jordan a very beautiful and pleasant valley abounding in vines and = trees, for=20 much excellent water was there, and in that valley there was a large = village,=20 which is now called Sedima. The village, which is situated in the middle = of the=20 level ground, has in its midst a little hill of no great size, shaped as = large=20 tombs are wont to be. There is a church on the summit and down below, = around the=20 little hill great and ancient foundations appear, while in the village = itself=20 some grave-mounds still remain. When I saw this pleasant place I asked = what it=20 was, and it was told me:2 "This is the city of king = Melchizedek,=20 which was called Salem, but now, through the corruption of the language, = the=20 village is called Sedima. On the top of the little hill, which is = situated in=20 the midst of the village, the building that you see is a church, which = is now=20 called in the Greek language opu Melchisedech. For this is the

1 Eng. Bible, Dinhabah, Gen. xxxvi. 32; I Chron. i.=20 43.
2 See Gen. xiv. 8 and 18. The Pilgrim seems to = identify Salem=20 with Salim: see Hastings' D.B. under both names. Gamurrini = conjectures=20 that opu here and below stands for o1ros =3D hill: but ? for o3pou =3D where (Bernard). She never confuses r with p elsewhere.=20

<26>

place where Melchizedek offered pure sacrifices--that is bread and = wine--to=20 God, as it is written of him."

THE CITY OF MELCHIZEDEK

Directly I heard this, we alighted from our beasts, and lo! the holy = priest=20 of the place and the clergy deigned to meet us, and straightway = receiving us led=20 us up to the church. When we had arrived there, prayer was first said = according=20 to custom, then the passage from the book of holy Moses was read, then = one psalm=20 suitable to the place was said, then, after prayer made, we came down. = When we=20 had come down the holy priest addressed us. He was an elderly man, well = taught=20 in the Scriptures, and he had presided over the place from the time he = had been=20 a monk, to whose life many bishops--as we learned afterwards--bore great = testimony, saying that he was worthy to preside over the place where = holy=20 Melchizedek--when Abraham was coming to meet him--was the first to offer = pure=20 sacrifices to God. When we had come down from the church, as I said = above, the=20 holy priest said to us: "Behold, these foundations which you see around = the=20 little hill are those of the palace of king Melchizedek. For from his = time to=20 the present day if any one wishes to build himself a house here, and so = strikes=20 on these foundations, he sometimes finds little fragments of silver and = bronze.=20 And this way which you see passing between the river Jordan and this = village is=20 the way by which holy Abraham returned to Sodom, after the slaughter of=20 Chedorlaomer1 king

1 In Gen. xiv. 1 Chedorlaomer is called king of Elam and = Tidal,=20 king of Goiim (or nations, LXX e)qnw~n).=20

<27>

of nations, and where holy Melchizedek, the king of Salem, met him."

AENON

Then, because I remembered that it was written1 that S. = John had=20 baptized in AEnon near to Salim, I asked him how far off that place was. = The=20 holy priest answered: "It is near, two hundred paces off, and, if you = wish, I=20 will now lead you there on foot. This large and pure stream of water, = which you=20 see in this village, comes from that spring." Then I began to thank him = and to=20 ask him to lead us to the place, which was done. So we began to go with = him on=20 foot through the very pleasant valley, until we reached a most pleasant = orchard,=20 in the midst of which he showed us a spring of excellent and pure water, = which=20 sent out continuously a good stream. The spring had in front of it a = sort of=20 pool, where it appears that S. John the Baptist fulfilled his ministry. = Then the=20 holy priest said to us: "This garden is called nothing else to this day=20 than2 cepos tu agiu iohannu in the Greek language, or = as you=20 say in Latin, hortus sancti Johannis. Many brethren, holy monks, = direct=20 their steps hither from various places that they may wash there." So at = the=20 spring, as in every place, prayer was made, the proper lection was read = and an=20 appropriate psalm was said, and everything that it was customary for us = to do=20 whenever we came to the holy places, we did there also. The holy priest = also=20 told us that to this day, at Easter, all they who are to be baptized in = the=20 village, that is in the church

1 S. John iii. 23.
2 kh&pov tou~ a(gi/ou 'Iwa&nnou (the garden of = Saint John).=20

<28>

which is called opus Melchisedech,1 are always = baptized in=20 this spring, returning early to vespers with the clergy and monks, = saying psalms=20 and antiphons, so that they who have been baptized are led back early = from the=20 fountain to the church of holy Melchizedek. Then, receiving=20 eulogiae2 out of the orchard of S. John the Baptist = from the=20 priest, as well as from the holy monks who had cells in the same = orchard, and=20 always giving thanks to God, we set out on the way we were going.

THE CITY OF ELIJAH. THE BROOK CHERITH

Then going for a time through the valley of the Jordan on the bank of = the=20 river, because our route lay that way for a while, we suddenly saw the = city of=20 the holy prophet Elijah, that is Thesbe, whence he had the name of = Elijah the=20 Tishbite.3 There, to this day, is the cave wherein the holy = man sat;=20 there too is the tomb of holy Getha,4 whose name we read in = the books=20 of the Judges. There too we gave thanks to God according to custom and = pursued=20 our journey. And as we journeyed that way we saw a very pleasant valley = opening=20 towards us on the left; it was very large and discharged a very great = torrent=20 into the Jordan, and in that valley we saw the cell of one who is now a = brother,=20 that is a monk. Then I, as I am very inquisitive, began to ask what was = this=20 valley where the holy monk had now made himself a cell,

1 See p. 5, note 2.
2 See note above, p. 5=20
3 LXX o( = Qesbei/thv e)k=20 Qesbw~n th~v Galaa&d, I Kings xvii. 1; the A.V. has "the=20 inhabitants," the R.V. "the sojourners of Gilead."
4 = i.e.=20 Jephthah, Judg xii. 7 (Geyer) or perhaps Jether, Judg. viii. 20 = (Bernard).=20

<29>

for I did not think it was without reason. Then the holy men who were = journeying with us, and who knev the place, said, " This is the valley = of=20 Corra,1 where holy Elijah the Tishbite dwelt in the time of king Ahab,2 = when=20 there was a famine, and at the bidding of God the raven used to bring = him food,=20 and he drank water of the torrent. For this brook which you see running = through=20 this valley into Jordan, is Corra." Wherefore giving thanks to God Who = deigned=20 to show us every thing that we desired, unworthy as we were, we beg to = make our=20 journey as on other days. And as we journeyed day by day, on the left = side,=20 whence on the opposite side we saw parts of Phoenicia, there suddenly = appeared a=20 great and high mountain which extended in length ....
[A leaf is = torn=20 out.]=20

BURIAL-PLACE OF JOB. RETURN TO JERUSALEM

. . . which holy monk and ascetic, after so many years spent in the = desert,=20 found it necessary to move and to go down to the city of Carneas, in = order to=20 advise the bishop and clergy of that time, according as it had been = revealed to=20 him, that they should dig in that place which had been shown to him; = which was=20 done. And they, digging in that place which ha been shown to him, found = a cave,=20 which they follow for about a hundred paces, when suddenly, as they dug, = a stone=20 tomb came to light, and when they had uncovered it, they found carved on = its lid=20 (the name)

1 LXX Xorra&q,=20 Eng. Bible, Cherith. I Kings xvii. 3.
2 I Kings xvii. 4, = etc.=20

<30>

Job. To this Job the church which you see was then built in that = place, in=20 such a manner that the stone with the body should not be moved, but that = it=20 should be placed, where the body had been found, and that the body = should lie=20 under the altar. That church, which was built by some tribune, has been=20 unfinished to this day. Next morning we asked the bishop to make the = oblation,=20 which he deigned to do, and the bishop blessing us, we set out. There = too we=20 communicated, and always giving thanks to God we returned to Jerusalem,=20 journeying through each of the stations through which we had passed = three years=20 before.

JOURNEY INTO MESOPOTAMIA

Having spent some time there in the Name of God, when three full = years had=20 passed since I came to Jerusalem, and having seen all the holy places = which I=20 had visited for the sake of prayer, my mind was to return to my country. = I=20 wished, however, at God's bidding, to go to Mesopotamia in Syria, to = visit the=20 holy monks who were there in great number, and who were said to be of = such holy=20 life as could hardly be described, and also for the sake of prayer at = the=20 memorial of S. Thomas the Apostle, where his body is laid entire. This = is at=20 Edessa. For Jesus our God by a letter which He sent to Abgar the king by = the=20 hand of Ananias the courier, promised that He would send S. Thomas = thither,=20 after that He Himself had ascended into Heaven.1 The letter = is kept=20 with great reverence at the city of Edessa, where the memorial

=1B=1B 1 See Eus., Hist. Eccl. i. 13.=20

<31>

is. Now your affection may believe me that there is no Christian who = having=20 arrived at the holy places that are at Jerusalem, does not go on thither = for the=20 sake of prayer; it is at the twenty-fifth station from Jerusalem. And = since from=20 Antioch it is nearer to Mesopotamia, it was very convenient for me at = God's=20 bidding that as I was returning to Constantinople, and my way lying = through=20 Antioch, I should go thence to Mesopotamia. This then, at God's bidding, = I did.

ANTIOCH TO MESOPOTAMIA. THE CROSSING OF THE EUPHRATES

Then, setting out from Antioch to Mesopotamia in the Name of Christ = our God,=20 I journeyed through certain stations and cities of the province of = Coele-Syria,=20 which is Antioch, and entering the borders of the province of=20 Augustofratensis,1 I came to the city of = Gerapolis2 which=20 is the metropolis of Augustofratensis. And as this city is very = beautiful and=20 rich and abounds in everything, it was necessary for me to make a halt = there,=20 for the borders of Mesopotamia were not far distant. Then starting from=20 Ierapolis,2 I came, in the Name of God, at the fifteenth = milestone to=20 the river Euphrates, of which it is very well written that it is the = great=20 river Euphrates3; it is huge and, as it were, terrible, = for it=20 flows down with a current like the river Rhone, only the Euphrates is = still=20 greater. And as we had to cross in ships, and in large ships only, I = waited=20 there until after midday, and then in the Name

1 i. e. Augusta Euphratensis.
2 i. = e.=20 Hierapolis.
3 Gen. xv. 18.=20

<32>

of God I crossed the river Euphrates and entered the borders of = Mesopotamia=20 in Syria.

EDESSA

Then, journeying through certain stations, I came to a city whose = name we=20 read recorded in the Scriptures--Batanis,1 which city exists = to-day:=20 it has a church with a truly holy bishop, both monk and confessor, and = certain=20 martyr-memorials. The city has a teeming population, and the soldiery = with their=20 tribune are stationed there. Departing thence, we arrived at Edessa in = the Name=20 of Christ our God, and, on our arrival, we straightway repaired to the = church=20 and memorial of saint Thomas. There, according to custom, prayers were = made and=20 the other things that were customary in the holy places were done; we = read also=20 some things concerning saint Thomas himself. The church there is very = great,=20 very beautiful and of new construction, well worthy to be the house of = God, and=20 as there was much that I desired to see, it was necessary for me to make = a three=20 days' stay there. Thus I saw in that city many memorials, together with = holy=20 monks, some dwelling at the memorials, while others had their cells in = more=20 secluded spots farther from the city. Moreover, the holy bishop of the = city, a=20 truly devout man, both monk and confessor, received me willingly and = said: "As I=20 see, daughter, that for the sake of devotion you have undertaken so = great a=20 labour in coming to these places from far-distant lands, if you are = willing, we

1 Bathnae in Osrhoene (Bernard). There seems to be no = reference to=20 this place in Holy Scripture.=20

<33>

will show you all the places that are pleasant to the sight of = Christians."=20 Then, first thanking God, I besought the bishop much that he would deign = to do=20 as he said. He thereupon led me first to the palace of King Abgar, where = he=20 showed me a great marble statue of him--very much like him, as they = said--having=20 a sheen as if made of pearl. From the face of Abgar it seemed that he = was a very=20 wise and honourable man. Then the holy bishop said to me: "Behold King = Abgar,=20 who before he saw the Lord believed in Him that He was in truth the Son = of God."=20 There was another statue near, made of the same marble, which he said = was that=20 of his son Magnus; this also had something gracious in the face. Then we = entered=20 the inner part of the palace, and there were fountains full of fish such = as I=20 never saw before, of so great size, so bright and of so good a flavour = were=20 they. The city has no water at all other than that which comes out of = the=20 palace, which is like a great silver river.

THE STORY OF KING ABGARUS

Then the holy bishop told me about the water, saying: " At some time, = after=20 that King Abgar had written to the Lord, and the Lord had answered King = Abgar by=20 Ananias the courier--as it is written in the letter itself--when some = time had=20 passed, the Persians came against the city and surrounded it. And = straightway=20 Abgar, bearing the letter of the Lord to the gate, with all his army, = prayed=20 publicly. And he said: "O Lord Jesus, Thou hadst promised us that none = of our=20 enemies should enter this city, and lo! the=20

<34>

Persians now attack us." And when the king had said this, holding the = open=20 letter in his uplifted hands, suddenly there came a great darkness = outside the=20 city before the eyes of the Persians, as they were approaching the city = at a=20 distance of about three miles, and they were so baffled by the darkness = that=20 they could hardly form their camp and surround the whole city about = three miles=20 off. So baffled were the Persians that they could never afterwards see = the way=20 to enter the city, but they surrounded it and shut it in with their = hostile=20 forces, at a distance of about three miles, for several months. Then, = when they=20 saw that they could by no means enter, they wished to slay those within = the city=20 by thirst. Now that little hill which you see, my daughter, over against = the=20 city, supplied it with water at that time, and the Persians, perceiving = this,=20 diverted the water from the city and made it to run near that place = where they=20 had made their camp. And on that day and at that hour when the Persians = diverted=20 the water, the fountains which you see in this place burst forth at once = at=20 God's bidding, and by the favour of God they remain here from that day = to this.=20 But the water which the Persians had diverted was dried up at that hour, = so that=20 they who were besieging the city had nothing to drink for even one day; = which=20 thing is plain to the present time, for no moisture of any sort has ever = been=20 seen there from that day to this. So, at God's bidding, Who had promised = that=20 this should come to pass, they were obliged to return to their own home = in=20 Persia. Moreover afterwards, as often as enemies determined to come and = take the=20 city, this letter was brought out and read in the gate, and straightway = all

<35>

enemies were driven back by the will of God. The holy Bishop also = told me=20 that the place where these fountains broke forth had previously been = open ground=20 within the city, lying under the palace of King Abgar, which same palace = had=20 been situated on somewhat higher ground, as was plainly visible. For the = custom=20 was at that time that, whenever palaces were built, they should always = stand on=20 higher ground. But after that these fountains had burst forth here, then = Abgar=20 built this palace for his son Magnus, whose statue I saw near that of = his=20 father, so that the fountains should be included in the palace. And when = the=20 holy bishop had told me all these things, he said to me: "Let us now go = to the=20 gate by which Ananias the courier entered with the letter of which I = spoke." So=20 when we had come to the gate, the bishop, standing, made a prayer and = read us=20 the letters; then, after he had blessed us, another prayer was made. = Moreover=20 the holy man told us that from the day on which Ananias the courier = entered it=20 with the letter of the Lord, the gate is kept to this day, that no one = who is=20 unclean, nor any mourner, should pass through nor should any dead body = be borne=20 out through it. The holy bishop also showed us the memorial of Abgar and = of his=20 whole family, very beautiful, but made in the ancient style. He took us = also to=20 the palace which King Abgar had at first, on the higher ground, and if = there=20 were any other places he showed them to us. It was very pleasant to me = to=20 receive from the holy man himself the letters of Abgar to the Lord and = of the=20 Lord to Abgar, which the holy bishop had read to us there. For although = I have=20 copies at home, yet it seemed to me more pleasant to receive them from=20

<36>

him, lest perhaps something less might have reached us at home, and = indeed=20 that which I received here is fuller. So if Jesus our God bids it, and I = come=20 home, you too shall read them, ladies, my own souls.

CHARRAE (HARAN)

Then, after three days spent there, it was necessary for me to go = still=20 farther, to Charrae, as it is now called. In holy Scripture it is called = Charran,1 where holy Abraham dwelt, as it is written in = Genesis when=20 the Lord said unto Abram: Get thee out of thy country, and from thy = father's=20 house, and go to Charran and the rest.2 And when I = arrived at=20 Charrae I went straightway to the church which is within the city, and = soon I=20 saw the bishop of the place, a truly holy man of God, both monk and = confessor,=20 who deigned to show us all the places there that we desired. He took us = at once=20 to the church, which is without the city on the spot where stood the = house of=20 holy Abraham; it stands on the same foundations, and it is made of the = same=20 stone, as the holy bishop said. When we had come to the church, prayer = was made,=20 the passage from Genesis was read, one psalm was said, and after a = second prayer=20 the bishop blessed us and we came out. Then he deigned to take us to the = well=20 whence holy Rebecca used to fetch water,3 and the holy bishop = said to=20 us: "Behold the well whence holy Rebecca watered the camels of holy = Abraham's=20 servant Eleazar "; thus he deigned to show us each thing. Now at the = church,=20 which is outside the city,

1 LXX Xaroa&n,=20 Eng. Bible Haran. Gen. xii. 4.
2 Gen. xii. = 1.
3 Gen.=20 xxiv. 15, etc.=20

<37>

as I said, ladies, reverend sisters, where Abraham's house was = originally,=20 there is now the martyr-memorial of a certain holy monk named Helpidius. = It=20 happened very pleasantly for us that we arrived on the day before the = martyr's=20 feast of saint Helpidius, which is on the twenty-third of = April.1 On=20 that day it was of obligation that all the monks from all parts and from = all the=20 borders of Mesopotamia should come down to Charrae, even the greater = ones who=20 dwelt in solitude, whom they call ascetics. For this day is observed = with great=20 dignity there on account of the memorial of holy Abraham, whose house = stood=20 where the church now is, in which the body of the holy martyr is laid. = So it=20 happened to us very pleasantly beyond our expectations that we should = see these=20 holy monks of Mesopotamia, truly men of God, as well as those whose good = report=20 and manner of life had reached men's ears far and wide, whom I thought = that I=20 could not by any means see, not because it was impossible for God to = give me=20 this, Who had deigned to give me all things, but because I had heard = that they=20 never come down from their dwellings except on Easter Day and on this = day. For=20 they are men who do many wonders, and, moreover, I did not know in what = month=20 was the day of the martyr's feast which I have mentioned; but at God's = bidding=20 it came about that I arrived on the day that I had not hoped for. We = stayed=20 there two days, for the memorial day and for the sake of seeing those = holy men,=20 who

1 The ancient Syriac Martyrology (A.D. 411/2), as printed = by=20 Lietzmann (Drei Alt. Mart. p. 12), gives Helpidios and Hermogenes = the=20 martyrs in Melitene (Cappadocia) on May 3rd, not April 23rd.=20

<38>

deigned to receive me very willingly for the sake of salutation, and = to speak=20 with me, of which I was not worthy. Nor were they seen there after the = memorial=20 day, for they sought the desert without delay in the night, each one = returning=20 to his own cell. In that city I found scarcely a single Christian = excepting a=20 few clergy and holy monks--if any such dwell in the city; all are = heathen. And=20 in like manner, as we gazed with great reverence at the place where the = house of=20 holy Abraham was at first for the sake of his memorial, so do those = heathen gaze=20 with great reverence at a place about a mile from the city, where are = the=20 memorials of Nahor and Bethuel. And since the bishop of that city is = very=20 learned in the Scriptures, I asked him, saying: "I beg of you, my lord, = to tell=20 me that which I desire to hear." And he said: "Tell me, daughter, what = you wish,=20 and I will tell it you, if I know it." Then I said: "I know by the=20 Scriptures1 that holy Abraham came to this place with his = father=20 Terah and with Sarah his wife, and with Lot his brother's son, but I = have not=20 read when Nahor and Bethuel came here; I know only that afterwards = Abraham's=20 servant came to Charrae that he might seek Rebecca, the daughter of = Bethuel, the=20 son of Nahor, for Isaac the son of his master Abraham."2 Then = the=20 holy bishop said to me: "Truly, daughter, it is written as you say, in = Genesis,=20 that holy Abraham came here with his relatives, but canonical Scripture = does not=20 say when Nahor and his relatives and Bethuel came here, but it is plain = that=20 they did come here afterwards, since their memorials are here at about a = mile=20 from the city. The Scripture does indeed=20

1 Gen.xi.31.
2 Gen xxiv. 10, 15.=20

<39>

relate1 how holy Abraham's servant came here to take holy = Rebecca,=20 and how holy Jacob came here when he took to himself the daughters of = Laban the=20 Syrian." Then I asked where was the well where holy Jacob watered the = flocks=20 which Rachel, the daughter of Laban the Syrian, was feeding. The bishop = said to=20 me: "The place is six miles hence, near the village which then was the = farm of=20 Laban the Syrian, and if you wish to go there, we will go with you and = show it=20 to you; there are also many very holy monks and ascetics, and a holy = church." I=20 also asked the holy bishop where was that place of the Chaldees where = Terah=20 lived at first with his family,2 and the holy bishop said to = me: "The=20 place, daughter, of which you ask, is at the tenth station hence, as you = go into=20 Persia. There are five stations from here to Nisibis, and five stations = thence=20 to Hur,3 which was a city of the Chaldees, but there is now = no access=20 for Romans, for the Persians hold the whole country.4 This = district=20 is specially called the Eastern; it is on the borders of the Romans, the = Persians and the Chaldees." And many other things he deigned to tell me, = as did=20 also the other holy bishops and holy monks, but all they told us was = from the=20 Scriptures of God or of the acts of holy men, that is of monks, either = the=20 wonderful things that those already departed had done, or what those who = are=20 still in the body do daily, at any rate those who are ascetics. For I = would not=20 that your affection should think that the monks ever told me

<40>

any other stories except from the Scriptures of God or else those of = the acts=20 of the greater monks.

RACHEL'S WELL. THE RETURN TO ANTIOCH

Now after two days which I spent there, the bishop took us to the = well where=20 holy Jacob had watered holy Rachel's flocks;1 the well is six = miles=20 from Charrae, and in its honour a very great and beautiful holy church = has been=20 built hard by. When we had come to the well, prayer was made by the = bishop, the=20 passage frorn Genesis was read, one psalm suitable to the place was said = and,=20 after a second prayer, the bishop blessed us. We saw also, Iying on a = spot near=20 the well, that very great stone which holy Jacob had moved away from the = well,=20 and which is shown to-day. No one dwells there around the well, except = the=20 clergy of the church which is there and the monks who have their cells = near at=20 hand, whose truly unheard-of mode of life the bishop described to us. = Then,=20 after prayer had been made in the church, I visited, in company with the = bishop,=20 the holy monks in their cells, giving thanks both to God and to them, = who=20 deigned with willing mind to receive me in their cells wherever I = entered, and=20 to address me in such words as were fitting to proceed out of their = mouth. They=20 deigned also to give me and all who were with me = eulogiae,2=20 such as is the custom for monks to give those whom they receive with = willing=20 mind into their cells.

1 Gen. xxix. 10.
2 See note above, p. 5.=20

<41>

And the place being in a large plain, a great village over against us = was=20 pointed out to me by the holy bishop, about five hundred paces from the = well,=20 through which village our route lay. This village, as the bishop said, = was once=20 the farm of Laban the Syrian, and is called Fadana;1 in the = village=20 the memorial of Laban the Syrian, Jacob's father-in-law, was shown to = me; the=20 place was also shown to me where Rachel stole her father's = images.2=20 So, having seen everything in the Name of God, and bidding farewell to = the holy=20 bishop and the holy monks who had deigned to conduct us to the place, we = returned by the route and by the stations through which we had come from = Antioch.

ANTIOCH TO TARSUS

When I had got back to Antioch, I stayed there for a week, while the = things=20 that were necessary for our journey were being prepared. Then, starting = from=20 Antioch and journeying through several stations, I came to the province = called=20 Cilicia, which has Tarsus for its metropolis. I had already been at = Tarsus on my=20 way to Jerusalem, but as the memorial of saint Thecla is at the third = station=20 from Tarsus, in Hisauria, it was very pleasant for me to go there, = especially as=20 it was so very near at hand.

<42>

VISIT TO S. THECLA'S CHURCH. RETURN TO CONSTANTINOPLE

So, setting out from Tarsus, I came to a certain city on the sea, = still in=20 Cilicia, which is called Pompeiopolis. Thence I entered the borders of = Hisauria=20 and stayed in a city called Coricus, and on the third day I arrived at a = city=20 which is called Seleucia in Hisauria;1 on my arrival I went = to the=20 bishop, a truly holy man, formerly a monk, and in that city I saw a very = beautiful church. And as the distance thence to saint Thecla, which is = situated=20 outside the city on a low eminence, was about fifteen hundred paces, I = chose=20 rather to go there in order to make the stay that I intended. There is = nothing=20 at the holy church in that place except numberless cells of men and of = women. I=20 found there a very dear friend of mine, to whose manner of life all in = the East=20 bore testimony, a holy deaconess named Marthana, whom I had known at = Jerusalem,=20 whither she had come for the sake of prayer; she was ruling over the = cells of=20 apotactitae2 and virgins. And when she had seen me, = how can I=20 describe the extent of her joy or of mine ? But to return to the matter = in hand:=20 there are very many cells on the hill and in the midst of it a great = wall which=20 encloses the church containing the very beautiful memorial. The wall

1 Thecla is honoured as "protomartyr" in the East as well = as in=20 the West on Sept. 23rd or 24th. Tradition calls her a disciple of St. = Paul at=20 Iconium, but places her grave (as here) at Seleucia in Isauria. = Justinian built=20 a church in her memory at Constantinople. The Anc. Syr. Mart. = does not=20 mention her.

<43>

was built to guard the church because of the Hisauri, who are very = malicious=20 and who frequently commit acts of robbery, to prevent them from making = an=20 attempt on the monastery which is established there. When I had arrived = in the=20 Name of God, prayer was made at the memorial, and the whole of the acts = of saint=20 Thecla having been read, I gave endless thanks to Christ our God, who = deigned to=20 fulfil my desires in all things, unworthy and undeserving as I am. Then, = after a=20 stay of two days, when I had seen the holy monks and apotactitae = who were=20 there, both men and women, and when I had prayed and made my communion, = I=20 returned to Tarsus and to my journey. From Tarsus, after a halt of three = days, I=20 set out on my journey in the Name of God, and arriving on the same day = at a=20 station called Mansocrenae,1 which is under Mount Taurus, I = stayed=20 there. On the next day, going under Mount Taurus, and travelling by the = route=20 that was already known to me, through each province that I had traversed = on my=20 way out, to wit, Cappadocia, Galatia, and Bithynia, I arrived at = Chalcedon,=20 where I stayed for the sake of the very famous martyr memorial of saint=20 Euphemia,2 which was already known to me from a former time. = On the=20 next day, crossing the sea, I arrived at Constantinople, giving thanks = to Christ=20 our God who deigned to give me such grace, unworthy and undeserving as I = am, for=20 He had deigned to give me not only the will to go, but also the power of = walking=20 through the places

1 i.e., Mopsucrene (Bernard).
2 = Commemorated=20 both East and West on Sept. 16th, but not given in Anc. Syr. = Mart.=20

<44>

that I desired, and of returning at last to Constantinople. When I = had=20 arrived there, I went through all the churches--that of the Apostles and = all the=20 martyr-memorials, of which there are very many--and I ceased not to give = thanks=20 to Jesus our God, Who had thus deigned to bestow His mercy upon me. From = which=20 place, ladies, light of my eyes, while I send these (letters) to your = affection,=20 I have already purposed, in the Name of Christ our God, to go to Ephesus = in=20 Asia, for the sake of prayer, because of the memorial of the holy and = blessed=20 Apostle John. And if after this I am yet in the body, and am able to see = any=20 other places, I will either tell it to your affection in person, if God = deigns=20 to permit me this, or in anywise, if I have another project in mind, I = will send=20 you news of it in a letter. But do you, ladies, light of my eyes, deign = to=20 remember me, whether I am in the body or out of the body.

DAILY OFFICES

1. Matins.

Now that your affection may know what is the order of service=20 (operatio) day by day in the holy places, I must inform you, for = I know=20 that you would willingly have this knowledge. Every day before cockcrow = all the=20 doors of the Anastasis1 are opened, and all the monks and = virgins, as=20 they call them here, go thither, and not they alone, but lay people = also, both=20 men and women, who desire to begin their vigil early. And from that hour = to=20 daybreak hymns are said2 and psalms are sung responsively=20 (responduntur), and antiphons in like manner; and prayer is made = after=20 each of the hymns. For priests, deacons, and monks in twos or threes = take it in=20 turn every day to say prayers after each of the hymns or antiphons. But = when day=20 breaks they begin to say the Matin hymns. Thereupon the bishop arrives = with

1 See Introduction, p. xlv.
2 Etheria = constantly=20 uses dicuntur, dicitur applied to hymns and psalms--but = she=20 probably means "sung." See Introduction, pp, xxxix f.=20

<46>

the clergy, and immediately enters into the cave,1 and = from within=20 the rails (cancelli) he first says a prayer for all, mentioning = the names=20 of those whom he wishes to commemorate; he then blesses the catechumens, = afterwards he says a prayer and blesses the faithful. And when the = bishop comes=20 out from within the rails, every one approaches his hand,2 = and he=20 blesses them one by one as he goes out, and the dismissal3 = takes=20 place, by daylight.

2. Sext and None.

In like manner at the sixth hour all go again to the Anastasis, and = psalms=20 and antiphons are said, while the bishop is being summoned; then he = comes

1 See Introduction, pp. xlv f.
2 The = expression "to=20 approach the bishop's hand" has given rise to much discussion. Archbp. = Bernard=20 and Professor Sayce both suggested it was for the purpose of kissing it. = But an=20 account given by Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Lewis of their visit to the very = ancient=20 Coptic Monastery of Deyr Antonius on the Red Sea, seems to suggest = another=20 solution. They relate that when they attended Mass in the Church of the=20 Monastery . . . "the Service lasted two hours, and towards its close all = present, including ourselves, went up to the door of the sanctuary and = received=20 a blessing from the chief celebrant, which consisted mainly in his = laying a=20 hand on our cheeks." I submitted this as a possible explanation of = Etheria's=20 expression to Mgr. Duchesne and to Dom Cabrol and they both agreed it = appeared=20 to solve the difficulty. Dom Cabrol further suggested that this manner = of=20 conveying a blessing might be the origin of the colaphus or=20 soufflet given in Confirmation in the Western Church. For further = details=20 of this Coptic Mass see The Century Magazine, Sept. 1904, article = "Hidden=20 Egypt," by Mrs. Lewis.
3 It should be noted that the word=20 missa in the text is almost always translated "dismissal," = although it=20 must on some occasions have meant "Mass." This, however, Etheria usually = calls=20 oblatio (offerre). For the ambiguity of the meaning = attached to=20 missa, see Introduction, pp. xl f.=20

<47>

as before, not taking his seat, but he enters at once within the = rails in the=20 Anastasis, that is in the cave, just as in the early morning, and as = then, he=20 again first says a prayer, then he blesses the faithful, and as he comes = out=20 from [within] the rails every one approaches his hand. And the same is = done at=20 the ninth hour as at the sixth.

3. Vespers.

Now at the tenth hour, which they call here = licinicon,1 or=20 as we say lucernare, all the people assemble at the Anastasis in = the same=20 manner, and all the candles and tapers are lit, making a very great = light. Now=20 the light is not introduced from without, but it is brought forth from = within=20 the cave, that is from within the rails, where a lamp is always burning = day and=20 night, and the vesper psalms and antiphons are said, lasting for a = considerable=20 time. Then the bishop is summoned, and he comes and takes a raised seat, = and=20 likewise the priests sit in their proper places, and hymns and antiphons = are=20 said. And when all these have been recited according to custom, the = bishop rises=20 and stands before the rails, that is, before the cave, and one of the = deacons=20 makes the customary commemoration of individuals one by one. And as the = deacon=20 pronounces each name the many little boys who are always standing by, = answer=20 with countless voices: Kyrie eleyson, or as we say Miserere=20 Domine.2 And when the deacon has finished all that he has = to say,=20 first the bishop says a prayer and

1 i. e. to_=20 luxniko&n.
2 For this, see Introduction, p. = xliii.=20

<48>

prays for all, then they all pray, both the faithful and catechumens=20 together. Again the deacon raises his voice, bidding each catechumen to = bow his=20 head where he stands, and the bishop stands and says the blessing over = the=20 catechumens. Again prayer is made, and again the deacon raises his voice = and=20 bids the faithful, each where he stands, to bow the head, and the bishop = likewise blesses the' faithful. Thus the dismissal takes place at the = Anastasis,=20 and one by one all draw near to the bishop's hand. Afterwards the bishop = is=20 conducted from the Anastasis to the Cross [with] hymns, all the people=20 accompanying him, and when he arrives he first says a prayer, then he = blesses=20 the catechumens, then another prayer is said and he blesses the = faithful.=20 Thereupon both the bishop and the whole multitude further proceed behind = the=20 Cross, where all that was done before the Cross is repeated, and they = approach=20 the hand of the bishop behind the Cross as they did at the Anastasis and = before=20 the Cross. Moreover, there are hanging everywhere a vast number of great = glass=20 chandeliers, and there are also a vast number of = cereofala,1=20 before the Anastasis, before the Cross and behind the Cross, for the = whole does=20 not end until darkness has set in. This is the order of daily services=20 (operatio) at the Cross and at the Anastasis throughout the six = days.

SUNDAY OFFICES=20

1. Vigil

But on the seventh day,1 that is on the Lord's Day, the = whole=20 multitude assembles before cockcrow, in as great numbers as the place = can hold,=20 as at Easter, in the basilica which is near the Anastasis, but outside = the=20 doors, where lights are hanging for the purpose. And for fear that they = should=20 not be there at cockcrow they come beforehand and sit down there. Hymns = as well=20 as antiphons are said, and prayers are made between the several hymns = and=20 antiphons, for at the vigils there are always both priests and deacons = ready=20 there for the assembling of the multitude, the custom being that the = holy places=20 are not opened before cockcrow. Now as soon as the first cock has = crowed, the=20 bishop arrives and enters the cave at the Anastasis; all the doors are = opened=20 and the whole multitude enters the Anastasis, where countless lights are = already=20 burning. And when the people have entered, one of the priests says a = psalm to=20 which all respond, and afterwards prayer is made; then one of the = deacons says a=20 psalm and prayer is again made, a third psalm is said by one of the = clergy,=20 prayer is made for the third time and there is a commemoration of all. = After=20 these three psalms and three prayers are ended, lo! censers are brought = into the=20 cave of the Anastasis so that the whole basilica

1 Etheria here calls the Lord's Day the seventh day, but = only=20 because she has just before spoken of the six days that precede it.=20

<50>

of the Anastasis is filled with odours.1 And then the = bishop,=20 standing within the rails, takes the book of the Gospel, and proceeding = to the=20 door, himself reads the (narrative of the) Resurrection of the Lord. And = when=20 the reading is begun, there is so great a moaning and groaning among = all, with=20 so many tears, that the hardest of heart might be moved to tears for = that the=20 Lord had borne such things for us. After the reading of the Gospel the = bishop=20 goes out, and is accompanied to the Cross by all the people with hymns, = there=20 again a psalm is said and prayer is made, after which he blesses the = faithful=20 and the dismissal takes place, and as he comes out all approach to his = hand. And=20 forthwith the bishop betakes himself to his house, and from that hour = all the=20 monks return to the Anastasis, where psalms and antiphons, with prayer = after=20 each psalm or antiphon, are said until daylight; the priests and deacons = also=20 keep watch in turn daily at the Anastasis with the people, but of the = lay=20 people, whether men or women, those who are so minded, remain in the = place until=20 daybreak, and those who are not, return to their houses and betake = themselves to=20 sleep.

2. Morning Services.

Now at daybreak because it is the Lord's Day every one proceeds to = the=20 greater church, built by Constantine, which is situated in Golgotha = behind the=20 Cross, where all things are done which are customary

1 Assuming the earlier date of this pilgrimage, we have = probably=20 here the earliest mention extant of incense being used in a Christian = church at=20 the time of public worship: see Dictionary of Prayer Book, p. = 406, s.v.=20

<51>

everywhere1 on the Lord's Day. But the custom here is that = of all=20 the priests who take their seats, as many as are willing, preach, and = after them=20 all the bishop preaches, and these sermons are always on the Lord's Day, = in=20 order that the people may always be instructed in the Scriptures and in = the love=20 of God. The delivery of these sermons greatly delays the dismissal from = the=20 church, so that the dismissal does [not] take place before the fourth or = perhaps=20 the fifth hour. But when the dismissal from the church is made in the = manner=20 that is customary everywhere, the monks accompany the bishop with hymns = from the=20 church to the Anastasis, and as he approaches with hymns all the doors = of the=20 basilica of the Anastasis are opened, and the people, that is the = faithful,=20 enter, but not the catechumens. And after the people the bishop enters, = and goes=20 at once within the rails of the cave of the martyrium. Thanks are first = given to=20 God, then prayer is made for all, after which the deacon bids all bow = their=20 heads, where they stand, and the bishop standing within the inner rails = blesses=20 them and goes out, each one drawing near to his hand as he makes his = exit. Thus=20 the dismissal is delayed until nearly the fifth or sixth hour. And in = like=20 manner it is done at lucernare, according to daily custom.

This then is the custom observed every day throughout the whole year = except=20 on solemn days, to the keeping of which we will refer later on. But = among all=20 things it is a special feature that they arrange that suitable psalms = and=20 antiphons are said on every occasion, both those said by night, or in = the=20 morning,

1 This of course includes the celebration of the = Eucharist.=20

<52>

as well as those throughout the day, at the sixth hour, the ninth = hour, or at=20 lucernare all being so appropriate and so reasonable as to bear = on the=20 matter in hand. And they proceed to the greater church, which was built = by=20 Constantine, and which is situated in Golgotha, that is, behind the = Cross, on=20 every Lord's Day throughout the year except on the one Sunday of = Pentecost, when=20 they proceed to Sion, as you will find mentioned below; but even then = they go to=20 Sion before the third hour, the dismissal having been first made in the = greater=20 church.

1 The Old Armenian Lectionary of the eighth or ninth = century, of=20 which there are two codices with certain variations, one in the Bodleian = at=20 Oxford and one at Paris, has preserved for us the antiphons, psalms and = lections=20 in use at Jerusalem. They are here given, as far as they bear on = Etheria's=20 narrative. At the night station at Bethlehem, Gregory Asharuni, a = commentator=20 about 690, mentions that they "assemble in the shepherd's hut" at the = ninth=20 hour, and this canon is performed: Ps. xxiii. 1=E3[the small=20 1 here indicates that ver. 1 is sung as an antiphon after = each verse=20 of Ps. xxiii.: and so elsewhere]; Alleluiah; Ps. Ixxx.; S. Luke ii. = 8-20; S.=20 Matt. i. 18-25; Gen. i.-iii. 20; Isa. vii. 10-18; Exod. xiv. 24-XV. 22; = Mic. v.=20 1-8; Prov. i. 1-9, Isa. ix. 5-7; xi.

of the monks who go on foot, it is necessary to walk slowly, the = arrival in=20 Jerusalem thus takes place at the hour when one man begins to be able to = recognize another, that is, close upon but a little before daybreak. And = on=20 arriving there, the bishop and all with him immediately enter the = Anastasis,=20 where an exceedingly great number of lights are already burning. There a = psalm=20 is said, prayer is made, first the catechumens and then the faithful are = blessed=20 by the bishop; then the bishop retires, and every one returns to his = lodging to=20 take rest, but the monks remain there until daybreak and recite hymns.

2. Morning Services at Jerusalem.

But after the people have taken rest, at the beginning of the second = hour=20 they all assemble in the greater church, which is in = Golgotha.1

Now it would be superfluous to describe the adornment either of the = church,=20 or of the Anastasis, or of the Cross, or in Bethlehem on that day; you = see there=20 nothing but gold and gems and silk. For if you look at the veils, they = are made=20 wholly of silk striped with gold, and if you look at the curtains, they = too are=20 made wholly of silk striped with gold. The church vessels too, of every = kind,=20 gold and jewelled, are brought out on that day, and indeed, who could = either=20 reckon or describe the number and weight

1 The Bodleian Codex of the Old Arm. Lect. says that on = the second=20 day they assemble in the shrine of S. Stephen, but on the third day they = go to=20 the holy shrine in the city (i.e. the martyrium, or as Etheria = calls it,=20 the greater church in Golgotha), and this canon is prescribed: Ps.=20 cx.3 ; Heb. i. 1-14; Ps. cx., S. Matt. ii. 13-23, but Etheria = seems=20 to have confused the order of the fourth, fifth and sixth days.=20

of the cereofala,1 or of the = cicindelae,2=20 or of the lucernae,3 or of the various vessels? And = what shall=20 I say of the decoration of the fabric itself, which Constantine, at his = mother's=20 instigation, decorated with gold, mosaic, and costly marbles, as far as = the=20 resources of his kingdom allowed him, that is, the greater church as = well as the=20 Anastasis, at the Cross, and the other holy places in Jerusalem ? But to = return=20 to the matter in hand: the dismissal4 takes place on the first day in = the=20 greater church, which is in Golgotha, and when they preach or read the = several=20 lessons, or recite hymns, all are appropriate to the day. And afterwards = when=20 the dismissal from the church has been made, they repair to the = Anastasis with=20 hymns, according to custom, so that the dismissal takes place about the = sixth=20 hour. And on this day lucernare also takes place according to the = daily=20 use.

3. Octave of the Festival.

On the second day also they proceed in like manner to the church in = Golgotha,=20 and also on the third day; thus the feast is celebrated with all this

Thus, then, is the feast celebrated with all this joyfulness = and=20 festal array throughout the eight days in all the holy places which I = have=20 mentioned above. And in Bethlehem also throughout the entire eight days = the=20 feast is celebrated with similar festal array and joyfulness daily by = the=20 priests and by all the clergy there, and by the monks who are appointed = in that=20 place. For from the hour when all return by night to Jerusalem with the = bishop,=20 the monks of that place4 keep vigil in the church in = Bethlehem,=20 reciting hymns and antiphons, but it is=20

Here Etheria and the Lectionary again agree, = but the=20 Lectionary has not prescribed anything for the eighth day, and it = concludes:=20 "Here ends the canon of the Holy Epiphany.

4. The Presentation.1 Mass. The fortieth day = after=20 the Epiphany is undoubtedly celebrated here with the very highest = honour, for on=20 that day there is a procession, in which all take part, in the = Anastasis, and=20 all things are done in their order with the greatest joy, just as at = Easter. All=20 the priests, and after them the bishop, preach, always taking for their = subject=20 that part of the Gospel where Joseph and Mary brought the Lord into the = Temple=20 on the fortieth day, and Symeon and Anna the prophetess, the daughter of = Phanuel, saw Him,--treating of the words which they spake when they saw = the=20 Lord, and of that offering which His parents made.2 And when=20 everything that is customary has been done in order, the sacrament is=20 celebrated, and the dismissal takes place.3

LENT

And when the Paschal days come they are observed thus:1 = Just as=20 with us forty days are kept before Easter, so here eight weeks are kept = before=20 Easter. And eight weeks are kept because there is no fasting on the = Lord's Days,=20 nor on the Sabbaths, except on the one Sabbath on which the Vigil of = Easter=20 falls, in which case the fast is obligatory. With the exception then of = that one=20 day, there is never fasting on any Sabbath here throughout the year. = Thus,=20 deducting the eight Lord's Days and the seven Sabbaths (for on the one = Sabbath,=20 as I said above, the fast is obligatory) from the eight weeks, there = remain=20 forty-one fast days, which they call here Eortae, that is=20 Quadragesimae.2

1 No traces of the Quadragesima are found before the = fourth=20 century. The fifth Canon of the Council of Nicaea (325) contains the = earliest=20 mention of it. Various endeavours were made in various countries to = combine the=20 Quadragesima with Holy Week. S. Chrysostom speaks of the Quadragesima = being=20 finished and the "Great week" beginning. At Rome and at Alexandria Holy = Week was=20 included in the Quadragesima in such a manner that the whole fast lasted = only=20 six weeks, but at Constantinople and in the countries observing the use = of=20 Antioch the fast was observed for seven weeks. The Sundays only were = excepted at=20 Rome, but at Constantinople both the Sundays and Saturdays, with the = exception=20 of Easter Eve, were exempt from fasting.--(Duchesne, Christian = Worship,=20 4th edit., pp. 242 f.)
2 The Old Arm. Lect. has: "For the = Holy=20 Quadragesima: first lection, Isa. i. 16-20; second, Ezek. xviii. 20-23; = third,=20 Rom. vi. 3-14; fourth, Col. ii. 8 foll. ; fifth, Heb. xi. 1-31; sixth, = Isa. xlv.=20 17-26; seventh, Eph. iii. 14-iv. 13; eighth, Jer. xxxii. 19-44; ninth, = Job=20 xxxviii. 2-xxxix. 35; tenth, 1 Cor viii. 5-ix. 23; eleventh, Heb. i. = 1-12;=20 twelfth, Isa. vii. 11-vii 10; thirteenth, Isa. liii. 1-liv. 5; = fourteenth, 1=20 Cor. xv. 1-28 {continued next page}=20

<58>

1. Services on Sundays.

Now the several days of the several weeks are kept thus:

On the Lord's Day after the first cockcrow the bishop reads in the = Anastasis=20 the account of the Lord's Resurrection from the Gospel, as on all Lord's = Days=20 throughout the whole year, and everything is done at the Anastasis and = at the=20 Cross as on all Lord's Days throughout the year, up to daybreak. = Afterwards, in=20 the morning, they proceed to the greater church, called the martyrium, = which is=20 in Golgotha behind the Cross, and all things that are customary on the = Lord's=20 Days are done there. In like manner also when the dismissal from the = church has=20 been made, they go with hymns to the Anastasis, as they always do on the = Lord's=20 Days, and while these things are being done the fifth hour is reached.=20 Lucernare, however, takes place at its own hour, as usual, at the = Anastasis and at the Cross, and in the various holy places; on the = Lord's Day=20 the ninth hour is1 kept.

2. Weekday Services.

On the second weekday they go at the first cockcrow to the Anastasis, = as they=20 do throughout the year, and everything that is usual is done until = morning. Then=20 at the third hour they go to the

{footnote continuing from page above} fifteenth, Dan. vii. 13-27; = sixteenth,=20 1 Cor. xii. 1-7; seventeenth, 1 Cor. xii. 1-7; eighteenth, Ezek. xxxvii. = 1-14;=20 nineteenth, 1 Tim. iii. 14-16. Here ends the canon of them that are = going to be=20 baptized."
1 Mgr. Duchesne would here insert "not."=20

<59>

Anastasis, and the things are done that are customary throughout the = year at=20 the sixth hour, for this going at the third hour in Quadragesima is = additional.=20 At the sixth and ninth hours also; and at lucernare, everything = is done=20 that is customary throughout the whole year at the holy places. And on = the third=20 weekday all things are done as on the second weekday.

3. Wednesday and Friday.

Again, on the fourth1 weekday they go by night to the = Anastasis,=20 and all the usual things are done until morning, and also at the third = and sixth=20 hours. But at the ninth hour they go to Sion, as is customary at that = hour on=20 the fourth and sixth2 weekdays throughout the year, for the = reason=20 that the fast is always kept here on the fourth and sixth weekdays even = by the=20 catechumens, except a martyrs' day should occur. For if a martyrs' day = should=20 chance to occur on the fourth or on the sixth weekday in Quadragesima, = they do=20 not go to Sion at the ninth hour. But on the days of Quadragesima, as I = said=20 above, they proceed to Sion on the fourth weekday at the ninth hour, = according=20 to the custom of the whole year, and all things that are customary at = the ninth=20 hour are done, except the oblation, for, in order that the

1 The Old Arm. Lect. has: "In the holy Quadragesima, in = the first=20 week on the fourth day of the week, they assemble at the tenth hour in = holy=20 Sion, and this canon is performed: Exod. i. 1-ii. 10; Joel i. 14-20; Ps. = li.=20 5ff." (Gregory Asharuni alone gives the fifth verse as the=20 antiphon.)
2 The Old Arm. Lect. : "Friday, at the tenth = hour they=20 assemble in holy Sion, and this canon is performed: Deut. vi. 4-vii. 10; = Job vi.=20 2-vii. 13; Isa. xl. 1-8; Ps. xli.4"=20

<60>

people may always be instructed in the law, both the bishop and the = priest=20 preach diligently. But when the dismissal has been made, the people = escort the=20 bishop with hymns thence to the Anastasis, so that it is already the = hour of=20 lucernare when he enters the Anastasis; then hymns and antiphons = are=20 said, prayers are made, and the service (missa) of = lucernare takes=20 place in the Anastasis and at the Cross. And the service of = lucernare is=20 always later on those days in Quadragesima than on other days throughout = the=20 year. On the fifth weekday everything is done as on the second and third = weekday. On the sixth weekday everything is done as on the fourth, = including the=20 going to Sion at the ninth hour, and the escorting of the bishop thence = to the=20 Anastasis with hymns.

4 Saturday.

But on the sixth weekday the vigils are observed in the Anastasis = from the=20 hour of their arrival from Sion with hymns, until morning, that is, from = the=20 hour of lucernare when they entered, to the morning of the next = day, that=20 is, the Sabbath. And the oblation is made in the Anastasis the earlier, = that the=20 dismissal may take place before sunrise. Throughout the whole night = psalms are=20 said responsively in turn with antiphons and with various lections, the = whole=20 lasting until morning, and the dismissal, which takes place on the = Sabbath at=20 the Anastasis, is before sunrise, that is, the oblation, so that the = dismissal=20 may take place in the Anastasis at the hour when the sun begins to rise. = Thus,=20 then, is each week of Quadragesima kept, the dismissal taking=20

<61>

place earlier on the Sabbath, i.e. before sunrise, as I said, = in order=20 that the hebdomadarii, as they are called here, may finish their = fast=20 earlier. For the custom of the fast in Quadragesima is that the = dismissal on the=20 Lord's Day is at the fifth hour in order that they whom they call=20 hebdomadarii, that is, they who keep the weeks' fast, may take = food. And=20 when these have taken breakfast on the Lord's Day, they do not eat until = the=20 Sabbath morning after they have communicated in the Anastasis. It is for = their=20 sake, then, that they may finish their fast the sooner, that the = dismissal on=20 the Sabbath at the Anastasis is before sunrise. For their sake the = dismissal is=20 in the morning, as I said; not that they alone communicate, but all who = are so=20 minded communicate on that day in the Anastasis.

5. The Fast.

This is the custom of the fast in Quadragesima: some, when they have = eaten=20 after the dismissal on the Lord's Day, that is, about the fifth or sixth = hour,=20 do not eat throughout the whole week until after the dismissal at the = Anastasis=20 on the Sabbath; these are they who keep the weeks' fast.

Nor, after having eaten in the morning, do they eat in the evening of = the=20 Sabbath, but they take a meal on the next day, that is, on the Lord's = Day, after=20 the dismissal from the church at the fifth hour or later, and then they = do not=20 breakfast until the Sabbath comes round, as I have said above. For the = custom=20 here is that all who are apotacticae, as they call them here, = whether men=20 or women, eat only once a day on=20

<62>

the day when they do eat, not only in Quadragesima, but throughout = the whole=20 year. But if any of the apotacticae cannot keep the entire week = of=20 fasting as described above, they take supper in the middle (of the = week), on the=20 fifth day, all through Quadragesima. And if any one cannot do even this, = he=20 keeps two days' fast (in the week) all through Quadragesima, and they = who cannot=20 do even this, take a meal every evening. For no one exacts from any how = much he=20 should do, but each does what he can, nor is he praised who has done = much, nor=20 is he blamed who has done less; that is the custom here. For their food = during=20 the days of Quadragesima is as follows:--they taste neither bread which = cannot=20 be weighed,1 nor oil, nor anything that grows on trees, but = only=20 water and a little gruel made of flour. Quadragesima is kept thus, as we = have=20 said. And at the end of the weeks' fast the vigil is kept in the = Anastasis from=20 the hour of lucernare on the sixth weekday, when the people come = with=20 psalms from Sion, to the morning of the Sabbath, when the oblation is = made in=20 the Anastasis. And the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth weeks in=20 Quadragesima are kept as the first.2=20

1 Panem, quid liberari non potest, but Archbp. = Bernard=20 reads qui deliquari and translates: "bread which cannot be = strained as a=20 liquid." I have adopted Gamurrini's conjecture librari. =
2=20 In the Old Arrn. Lect. there are special lections for all these weeks. = They will=20 be found in the Rituale Armenorum, Appendix II., pp. 519f. As = they do not=20 specially figure in Etheria's narrative, they are not given here. The = places of=20 assembly in Jerusalem are specified with each day's lections.=20

HOLY WEEK AND THE FESTIVALS AT EASTER=20

1. Saturday before Palm Sunday.--Station at Bethany.

Now when the seventh week has come, that is, when two weeks, = including the=20 seventh, are left before Easter,1 everything is done on each = day as=20 in the. weeks that are past, except that the vigils of the sixth = weekday, which=20 were kept in the Anastasis during the first six weeks, are, in the = seventh week,=20 kept in Sion, and with the same customs that obtained during the six = weeks in=20 the Anastasis. For throughout the whole vigil psalms and antiphons are = said=20 appropriate both to the place and to the day.

And when the morning of the Sabbath2 begins to dawn, the = bishop=20 offers the oblation. And at the dismissal the archdeacon lifts his voice = and=20 says: "Let us all be ready to-day at the seventh hour in the Lazarium." = And so,=20 as the seventh hour approaches, all go to the Lazarium, that is, = Bethany,=20 situated at about the second milestone from the city. And as they go = from=20 Jerusalem to the Lazarium, there is, about five hundred paces from the = latter=20 place, a church in the street on that spot where Mary the

1 Mgr. Duchesne notes there were variations in the length = of the=20 Quadragesima at Jerusalem (Christian Worship, p. 243 note 4, 4th = edit.).=20 The Old Arm. Lect. reckons Holy Week as the seventh, and Etheria the = eighth of=20 Quadragesima. The meeting-places also do not quite agree in the two=20 MSS.
2 For the Saturday before Palm Sunday the Old Arm. = Lect.=20 gives: "The sixth day before Zatik (the Passover), on the Sabbath they = assemble=20 in the Lazarium, and this canon is performed: Ps. xxx.3 ; 1 = Thess.=20 iv. 12-17; Alleluiah; Ps. xl. ; S. John xi. 55-xii. 11."=20

<64>

sister of Lazarus met with the Lord.1 Here, when the = bishop=20 arrives, all the monks meet him, and the people enter the church, and = one hymn=20 and one antiphon are said, and that passage is read in the Gospel where = the=20 sister of Lazarus meets the Lord. Then, after prayer has been made, and = when all=20 have been blessed, they go thence with hymns to the Lazarium And on = arriving at=20 the Lazarium, so great a multitude assembles that not only the place = itself, but=20 also the fields around, are full of people. Hymns and antiphons suitable = to the=20 day and to the place are said, and likewise all the lessons are read. = Then,=20 before the dismissal, notice is given of Easter, that is, the priest = ascends to=20 a higher place and reads the passage that is written in the Gospel: = When=20 Jesus six days before the Passover had come to Bethany, and the=20 rest.2 So, that passage having been read and notice given of = Easter,=20 the dismissal is made. This is done on that day because, as it is = written in the=20 Gospel, these events took place in Bethany six days before the Passover; = there=20 being six days from the Sabbath to the fifth weekday on which, after = supper, the=20 Lord was taken by night. Then all return to the city direct to the = Anastasis,=20 and lucernare takes place according to custom.

2. Palm Sunday.=E3(a) Services in the Churches.

On the next day, that is, the Lord's Day,3 which

1 S. John xi. 29, 30.
2 S. John xii. 1=20 ff.
3 The Old Arm. Lect. has: "On the Day of the Palms = they=20 assemble in the holy Shrine of the city, and this canon is fufilled: Ps. = xcviii.=20 8 ; Eph. i. 3-10; Alleluiah ; Ps. xcix. ; S. Matt. xxi. 1-11.''=20

<65>

begins the Paschal week, and which they call here the Great Week, = when all=20 the customary services from cockcrow until morning have taken place in = the=20 Anastasis and at the Cross, they proceed on the morning of the Lord's = Day=20 according to custom to the greater church, which is called the = martyrium. It is=20 called the martyrium because it is in Golgotha behind the Cross, where = the Lord=20 suffered. When all that is customary has been observed in the great = church, and=20 before the dismissal is made, the archdeacon lifts his voice and says = first:=20 "Throughout the whole week, beginning from to-morrow, let us all = assemble in the=20 martyrium, that is, in the great church, at the ninth hour." Then he = lifts his=20 voice again, saying: "Let us all be ready to-day in Eleona at the = seventh hour."=20 So when the dismissal has been made in the great church, that is, the = martyrium,=20 the bishop is escorted with hymns to the Anastasis, and after all things = that=20 are customary on the Lord's pay have been done there, after the = dismissal from=20 the martyrium, every one hastens home to eat, that all may be ready at = the=20 beginning of the seventh hour in the church in Eleona, on the Mount of = Olives,=20 where is the cave in which the Lord was wont to teach.

(b) Procession with Palms on the Mount of Olives. Accordingly = at the=20 seventh hour1 all the people

1 The Old Arm. Lect. has: "On the same day, at the ninth = hour,=20 they go forth to the Mount of Olives with palm branches; and there they = pray and=20 sing psalms until the tenth hour. And after that they go down into the = holy=20 Anastasis, chanting Ps. cxviii.26 " [N.B.=E3This psalm formed = part of=20 the Jewish {cont.}=20

<66>

go up to the Mount of Olives, that is, to Eleona, and the bishop with = them,=20 to the church, where hymns and antiphons suitable to the day and to the = place=20 are said, and lessons in like manner. And when the ninth hour approaches = they go=20 up with hymns to the Imbomon, that is, to the place whence the Lord = ascended=20 into heaven, and there they sit down, for all the people are always = bidden to=20 sit when the bishop is present; the deacons alone always stand. Hymns = and=20 antiphons suitable to the day and to the place are said, interspersed = with=20 lections and prayers. And as the eleventh hour approaches, the passage = from the=20 Gospel is read, where the children, carrying branches and palms, met the = Lord,=20 saying; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the = Lord,1=20 and the bishop immediately rises, and all the people with him, and they = all go=20 on foot from the top of the Mount of Olives, all the people going before = him=20 with hymns and antiphons, answering one to another: Blessed is He = that cometh=20 in the Name of the Lord. And all the children in the neighbourhood, = even=20 those who are too young to walk, are carried by their parents on their=20 shoulders, all of them bearing branches, some of palms and some of = olives,2 and=20 thus the bishop is escorted in the same manner as the Lord was of old. = For all,=20 even those of rank, both matrons and men, accompany the bishop all the = way on=20 foot in this manner, making these

3. Monday in Holy Week

On the next day, the second weekday, everything that is customary is = done=20 from the first cockcrow until morning in the Anastasis; also at the = third and=20 sixth hours everything is done that is customary throughout the whole of = Quadragesima. But at the ninth hour all assemble in the great church, = that is=20 the martyrium,1 where hymns and antiphons are said = continuously until=20 the first hour of the night and lessons suitable to the day and the = place are=20 read, interspersed always with prayers. Lucernare takes place = when its=20 hour approaches, that is, so that it is already night when the dismissal = at the=20 martyrium is made. When the dismissal has been made, the bishop is = escorted=20 thence with hymns to the Anastasis, where, when he has entered, one hymn = is=20 said, followed by a prayer; the catechumens and then the faithful are = blessed,=20 and the dismissal is made.

<68>

4. Tuesday in Holy Week. On the third weekday1 = everything=20 is done as on the second, with this one thing added--that late at night, = after=20 the dismissal of the martyrium, and after the going to the Anastasis and = after=20 the dismissal there, all proceed at that hour by night to the church, = which is=20 on the mount Eleona. And when they have arrived at that church the = bishop enters=20 the cave where the Lord was wont to teach His disciples,2 and = after=20 receiving the book of the Gospel, he stands and himself reads the words = of the=20 Lord which are written in the Gospel according to Matthew, where He = says:=20 Take heed that no man deceive you.3 And the bishop = reads=20 through the whole of that discourse, and when he has read it, prayer is = made,=20 the catechumens and the faithful are blessed, the dismissal is made, and = every=20 one returns from the mount to his house, it being already very late at = night.

5. Wednesday in Holy Week.

On the fourth weekday everything is done as on the second and third = weekdays=20 throughout the whole day from the first cockcrow onwards, but after the=20 dismissal has taken place at the martyrium4 by night,

1 The Old Arm. Lect. has: "On the third day of the week = [the later=20 Bodleian Codex has: 'they assemble on the Mount of Olives,' thus = agreeing with=20 Etheria], at the tenth hour. And this canon is performed: Gen. vi. 9-ix. = 17;=20 Prov. ix. 1-11; Isa. xi. 9-17 {xl. 9-17?}; Ps. xxv.1 ; S. = Matt. xxiv.=20 3-xxvi. 3."

<69>

and the bishop has been escorted with hymns to the Anastasis, he at = once=20 enters the cave which is in the Anastasis, and stands within the rails; = but the=20 priest stands before the rails and receives the Gospel, and reads the = passage=20 where Judas Iscariot went to the Jews and stated what they should give = him that=20 he should betray the Lord.1 And when the passage has been = read, there=20 is such a moaning and groaning of all the people that no one can help = being=20 moved to tears at that hour. Afterwards prayer follows, then the = blessing, first=20 of the catechumens, and then of the faithful, and the dismissal is made.

6. Maundy Thursday.--(a) Mass celebrated twice.

On the fifth weekday everything that is customary is done from the = first=20 cockcrow until morning at the Anastasis, and also at the third and at = the sixth=20 hours. But at the eighth hour all the people gather together at the=20 martyrium2 according to custom, only

1 S. Matt. xxvi. = 14,15.
2 The=20 Old Arm. Lect. has: "The fifth day of the week is of the old Zatik, as = touching=20 which Jesus said to His disciples, 'With desire have I desired to eat = with you=20 this Zatik.' They assemble at the seventh hour in the holy shrine of the = city,=20 and this canon is performed: Gen. xxii. 1-18; Isa. lxi. 1-6; Acts i. = 15-26; Ps.=20 lv.22 Their words, etc. Then the catechumens are = dismissed.=20 Again, Is. xxiii.5 {Ps xxiii. 5?}; 1 Cor. xi. 23-33; S.

And then the sacrifice is offered in the holy shrine, and = before the=20 holy Cross. And in the same hour they proceed to holy Sion. The canon = and=20 Apostle are the same: For I received from the Lord: S. Mark xiv. = 12-26.
And=20 in the same hour they go forth to the Mount of Olives, and perform the = evening=20 service of worship. And they join {footnote continued}=20

<70>

earlier than on other days, because the dismissal must be made = sooner. Then,=20 when the people are gathered together, all that should be done is done, = and, the=20 oblation is made on that day at the martyrium, the dismissal taking = place about=20 the tenth hour. But before the dismissal is made there, the archdeacon = raises=20 his voice and says: "Let us all assemble at the first hour of the night = in the=20 church which is in Eleona, for great toil awaits us to-day, in this very = night."=20 Then, after the dismissal at the martyrium, they arrive behind the = Cross, where=20 only one hymn is said and prayer is made, and the bishop offers the = oblation=20 there, and all communicate. Nor is the oblation ever offered behind the = Cross on=20 any day throughout the year, except on this one day. And after the = dismissal

{footnote continued from above} with the same the vigil, and with = three=20 gubalays of psalms. [Mr. Conybeare believes gubalay to be = derived=20 from kefalaion =3D = chapter. Each canon=20 of the psalms is divided for liturgical purposes into seven = gubalays,=20 each gubalay comprising two or three Psalms, and at the end of it = is=20 repeated the Gloria Patri.] And the prayers are said with=20 gonuklisia [genuflections].
Of the first gubalay, Ps.=20 ii.2
Of the second gubalay, Ps. = xli.5
Of the=20 third gubalay, Ps. lix.1

And after the fifth Psalm, and fifth = gubalay,=20 and fifth prayer, on the same evening they read the Gospel of S. John = xiii. 31-=20 xviii. 1.
On the same evening they go up to the hillock [on the Mt. = of=20 Olives. The Bordeaux pilgrim calls it 'the little hill.' Sir C. Wilson = thinks it=20 may be the slight elevation on the ridge of Olivet, known afterwards as=20 Galilee], and this canon is performed: Ps. cix.4 ; S. Luke = xxii.=20 39-46.
In the same hour of night they assemble in the room of the = disciples,=20 and read the lection, S. Mark xiv. 33-42."=20

<71>

there they go to the Anastasis, where prayer is made, the catechumens = and the=20 faithful are blessed according to custom, and the dismissal is made.

(b) Night Station on the Mount of Olives.

And so every one hastens back to his house to eat, because = immediately after=20 they have eaten, all go to Eleona to the church wherein is the cave = where the=20 Lord was with His Apostles on this very day. There then, until about the = fifth=20 hour of the night, hymns and antiphons suitable to the day and to the = place are=20 said, lessons, too, are read in like manner, with prayers interspersed, = and the=20 passages from the Gospel are read where the Lord addressed His disciples = on that=20 same day as He sat in the same cave which is in that church. And they go = thence=20 at about the sixth hour of the night with hymns up to the Imbomon, the = place=20 whence the Lord ascended into heaven, where again lessons are read, = hymns and=20 antiphons suitable to the day are said, and all the prayers which are = made by=20 the bishop are also suitable both to the day and to the place.

(c) Stations at Gethsemane.

And at the first cockcrow they come down from the Imbomon with hymns, = and=20 arrive at the place where the Lord prayed, as it is written in the=20 Gospel1: and He was withdrawn2 (from = them)=20 about a stone's cast, and prayed, and the rest. There is in that = place a=20 graceful church. The bishop and all the people=20

2 Lat. et = accessit, but=20 Vulg, has ipse avulsus est, see p. xxxiv.=20

<72>

enter, a prayer suitable to the place and to the day is said, with = one=20 suitable hymn, and the passage from the Gospel is read where He said to = His=20 disciples: Watch, that ye enter not into temptation1; = the=20 whole passage is read through and prayer is made. And then all, even to = the=20 smallest child, go down with the Bishop, on foot, with hymns to = Gethsemane;=20 where, on account of the great number of people in the crowd, who are = wearied=20 owing to the vigils and weak through the daily fasts, and because they = have so=20 great a hill to descend, they come very slowly with hymns to Gethsemane. = And=20 over two hundred church candles are made ready to give light to all the = people.=20 On their arrival at Gethsemane,2 first a suitable prayer is made, then a = hymn is=20 said, then the passage of the Gospel is read where the Lord was taken. = And when=20 this passage has been read there is so great a moaning and groaning of = all the=20 people, together with weeping, that their lamentation may be heard = perhaps as=20 far as the city.

(d) Return to Jerusalem.

From that hour they go with hymns3 to the city on foot, = reaching=20 the gate about the time when one man begins to be able to recognize = another, and=20 thence right on through the midst of the city; all, to a man, both great = and=20 small, rich and poor, all are ready

1 S. Mark xiv. 38.
2 The Old Arm. Lit. has: = "In the=20 same hour of night, in the holy Mount of Olives in Gethsemane. And they = read S.=20 Matt. xxvi. 36-56."
3 The Old Arm. Lit. has: " In the same = hour of=20 night they come singing Ps. cxviii.1 , and they recite it = until they=20 come before Golgotha, and he reads S. Matt. xxvi. 57-xxvii. 2."=20

<66>

there, for on that special day not a soul withdraws from the vigils = until=20 morning. Thus the bishop is escorted from Gethsemane to the gate, and = thence=20 through the whole of the city to the Cross.

7. Good Friday.--(a) Service at Daybreak.

And when they arrive before the Cross the daylight is already growing = bright.=20 There the passage from the.Gospel is read where the Lord is brought = before=20 Pilate, with everything that is written concerning that which Pilate = spake to=20 the Lord or to the Jews;1 the whole is read. And afterwards the bishop = addresses=20 the people, comforting them for that they have toiled all night and are = about to=20 toil during that same day, (bidding) them not be weary, but to have hope = in God,=20 Who will for that toil give them a greater reward. And encouraging them = as he is=20 able, he addresses them thus: "Go now, each one of you, to your houses, = and sit=20 down awhile, and all of you be ready here just before the second hour of = the=20 day, that from that hour to the sixth you may be able to behold the holy = wood of=20 the Cross, each one of us believing that it will be profitable to his = salvation;=20 then from the sixth hour we must all assemble again in this place, that = is,=20 before the Cross, that we may apply ourselves to lections and to prayers = until=20 night."

(b) The Column of the Flagellation.

After this, when the dismissal at the Cross has been made, that is, = before=20 the sun rises, they all go

1 S. Matt. xxvii. 2, etc.; S. Mark xv. 1, etc.; S. Luke = xxiii, 1,=20 etc.; S. John xviii. 28, etc.=20

<74>

at once with fervour to Sion, to pray at the column at which the Lord = was=20 scourged.1 And returning thence they sit for awhile in their = houses,=20 and presently all are ready.

(c) Veneration of the Cross.

Then a chair is placed for the bishop in Golgotha2 behind = the=20 Cross, which is now standing;3 the bishop duly takes his seat = in the=20 chair, and a table covered with a linen cloth is placed before him; the = deacons=20 stand round the table, and a silver-gilt casket is

1 The Old Arm. Lit. has: "In the same hour of the night = they go to=20 the palace of the Judge, and he [i.e. the Lector] reads S. John = xviii.=20 28-xix. 16.''
2 The Old Arm. Lit. has: "At dawn, on the = Friday,=20 the holy wood of the cross is set before holy Golgotha, and the = congregation=20 adore until the ninth hour. The adoration is completed, and at the sixth = hour=20 they assemble in holy Golgotha, and repeat eight psalms and five Gospel=20 lections. And one by one of the psalms, there are two and lections, and = at the=20 same time prayers.
Ps. xxxv. Il. [It is not easy to understand this, = but Mr.=20 Conybeare thinks the arrangement was thus: Ps. standing for Psalm, and = L. for=20 Lection : L. Ps. Ps. L. Ps. Ps. L. Ps. Ps. L. Ps. Ps. L., making five = Lections=20 and eight Psalms.]

brought in which is the holy wood of the Cross. The casket is opened = and (the=20 wood) is taken out, and both the wood of the Cross and the = title1 are=20 placed upon the table. Now, when it has been put upon the table, the = bishop, as=20 he sits, holds the extremities of the sacred wood firmly in his hands, = while the=20 deacons who stand around guard it. It is guarded thus because the custom = is that=20 the people, both faithful and catechumens, come one by one and, bowing = down at=20 the table, kiss the sacred wood and pass through. And because, I know = not when,=20 some one is said to have bitten off and stolen a portion of the sacred = wood, it=20 is thus guarded by the deacons who stand around, lest any one = approaching should=20 venture to do so again. And as all the people pass by one by one, all = bowing=20 themselves, they touch the Cross and the title, first with their = foreheads and=20 then with their eyes; then they kiss the Cross and pass through, but = none lays=20 his hand upon it to touch it. When they have kissed the Cross and have = passed=20 through, a deacon stands holding the ring of Solomon and the horn from = which the=20 kings were anointed; they kiss the horn also and gaze at the = ring2 .=20 . . all the

1 Rufinus, Hist. Eccl. i. 7, 8 (about 400), is = responsible=20 for the statement that part of the wood of the true cross was sent to=20 Constantine and part left in a silver casket (as here) in Jerusalem. = According=20 to S. Ambrose (395) Pilate's original superscription (titulus) = was found=20 by Helena still attached to the Saviour's cross, which enabled her to=20 distinguish it from the two others; but other authorities, including = Rufinus,=20 state that it was found in a separate place from the cross, and that the = recognition of the true cross was due to a miracle. Evidently at the = time of=20 Etheria's visit the "title" was shown as one of the relics at=20 Jerusalem.

<76>

people are passing through up to the sixth hour, entering by one door = and=20 going out by another; for this is done in the same place where, on the = preceding=20 day, that is, on the fifth weekday, the oblation was offered.

(d) Station before the Cross. The Three Hours. And when the = sixth hour=20 has come, they go before the Cross, whether it be in rain or in heat, = the place=20 being open to the air, as it were, a court of great size and of some = beauty=20 between the Cross and the Anastasis; here all the people assemble in = such great=20 numbers that there is no thoroughfare. The chair is placed for the = bishop before=20 the Cross, and from the sixth to the ninth hour nothing else is done, = but the=20 reading of lessons, which are read thus: first from the psalms wherever = the=20 Passion is spoken of, then from the Apostle, either from the epistles of = the=20 Apostles or from their Acts, wherever they have spoken of the Lord's = Passion;=20 then the passages from the Gospels, where He suffered, are read. Then = the=20 readings from the prophets where they foretold that the Lord should = suffer, then=20 from the Gospels where He mentions His Passion. Thus from the sixth to = the ninth=20 hours the lessons are so read and the hymns said, that it may be shown = to all=20 the people that whatsoever the prophets foretold of the Lord's Passion = is proved=20 from the Gospels and from the writings of the Apostles to have been = fulfilled.=20 And so through all those three hours the people are taught that nothing = was done=20 which had not been foretold, and that nothing was foretold which was not = wholly=20 fulfilled. Prayers

<77>

also suitable to the day are interspersed throughout. The emotion = shown and=20 the mourning by all the people at every lesson and prayer is wonderful; = for=20 there is none, either great or small, who, on that day during those = three hours,=20 does not lament more than can be conceived, that the Lord had suffered = those=20 things for us.1

Afterwards, at the beginning of the ninth hour, there is read that = passage=20 from the Gospel according to John where He gave up the = ghost.2 This=20 read, prayer and the dismissal follow.

(e) Evening Offices. And when the dismissal before the Cross = has been=20 made, all things are done in the greater church, at the martyrium, which = are=20 customary during this week from the ninth hour3--when the = assembly=20 takes place in the martyrium--until late. And after the dismissal at the = martyrium, they go to the Anastasis, where, when they arrive, the = passage from=20 the Gospel is read where Joseph begged the Body of the Lord from Pilate = and laid=20 it in a new sepulchre.4 And this reading ended, a prayer is = said, the=20 catechumens are blessed, and the dismissal is made.

But on that day no announcement is made of a

vigil at the Anastasis, because it is known that the people are = tired;=20 nevertheless, it is the custom to watch there. So all of the people who = are=20 willing, or rather, who are able, keep watch, and they who are unable do = not=20 watch there until the morning. Those of the clergy, however, who are = strong or=20 young keep vigil there, and hymns and antiphons are said throughout the = whole=20 night until morning; a very great crowd also keep night-long watch, some = from=20 the late hour and some from midnight, as they are able.

8. Vigil of Easter. Now, on the next day, the = Sabbath,1=20 everything that

At eventide, on = the=20 Sabbath day, they light a torch in the holy Anastasis.
First the = bishop=20 repeats Ps. cxiii.2 And then the bishop lights three candles; = and=20 after him the deacons, and then the whole congregation. And then, after = that,=20 they go up into the church [the martyrium] and begin the vigils of the = holy=20 Zatik [Paschal vigils, as Etheria calls them], and read twelve lections. = And=20 with each of them they sing psalms. [Here is evidently the primitive = form of the=20 ceremony of the New Fire in the ritual of the Greek Church at Jerusalem, = to=20 which such importance is still attached. The ceremony does not, however, = extend=20 beyond the Holy City, and it was not known at Rome. Etheria seems to = have missed=20 this service of the lighting of the candles: her narrative is = concentrated on=20 the newly baptized. There is no mention in the Old Arm.

The Paschal vigils are kept = as with=20 us, with this one addition, that the children when they have been = baptised and=20 clothed, and when they issue from the font,1 are led with the = bishop=20 first to the Anastasis; the bishop enters the rails of the Anastasis, = and one=20 hymn is said, then the bishop says a prayer for them, and then he goes = with them=20 to the greater church,

Moreover, the Paschal days are kept up to a late hour as with us, and = the=20 dismissals take place in their order throughout the eight Paschal days, = as is=20 the custom everywhere at Easter throughout the Octave. But the adornment = (of the=20 churches) and order (of the services) here are the same throughout the = Octave of=20 Easter as they are during Epiphany, in the greater church, in the = Anastasis, at=20 the Cross, in Eleona, in Bethlehem, as well as in the Lazarium, in fact, = everywhere, because these are the Paschal days. On the first Lord's=20 Day2 they proceed to the great church,

Moreover, on the eight Paschal days the bishop goes every day after = breakfast=20 up to Eleona with all the clergy, and with all the children who have = been=20 baptised, and with all who are apotactitae, both men and women, = and=20 likewise with all the people who are willing. Hymns are said and prayers = are=20 made, both in the church which is on Eleona, wherein is the cave where = Jesus was=20 wont to teach His disciples, and also in the Imbomon, that is, in the = place=20 whence the Lord ascended into heaven. And when the psalms have been said = and=20 prayer has been made, they come down thence with hymns to the Anastasis = at the=20 hour of lucernare. This is done throughout all the eight days. = 10. Vesper=20 Station at Sion on Easter Sunday.1 Now, on the Lord's Day at = Easter,=20 after the dismissal of lucernare, that is, at the Anastasis, all = the=20 people escort the bishop with hymns to Sion. And, on arriving, hymns = suitable to=20 the day and place are said, prayer is made, and the passage from the = Gospel=20

{footnote continued from above} directly on any part of Etheria's = narrative,=20 but are given here because they bear on the administration of the=20 Mysteries:
"Lections of the administration of the Mystery (=3Dmustagwgi/a) after the = dismissal are=20 [read] in the shrine on the second day in the same week: 1 Pet. v. = 8-14.

[N.B.=20 The lections given in S. Cyril's Catech. Orat. seem to tally in = general=20 with this whole series.]

<85>

is read where the Lord,1 on the same day, and in the same = place=20 where the church now stands in Sion, came in to His disciples when the = doors=20 were shut. That is, when one of His disciples, Thomas, was absent, and = when he=20 returned and the other Apostles told him that they had seen the Lord, he = said:=20 "Except I shall see, I will not believe."2 When this = has been=20 read, prayer is again made, the catechumens and the faithful are = blessed, and=20 every one returns to his house late, about the second hour of the night.

11. Sunday after Easter.=20

Again, on the Octave of Easter,3 that is, on the Lord's = Day, all=20 the people go up to Eleona with the bishop immediately after the sixth = hour.=20 First they sit for awhile in the church which is there, and hymns and = antiphons=20 suitable to the day and to the place are said; prayers suitable to the = day and=20 to the place are likewise made. Then they go up to the Imbomon with = hymns, and=20 the same things are done there as in the former place. And when the time = comes,=20 all the people and all the apotactitae escort the bishop with = hymns down=20 to the Anastasis, arriving there at the usual hour for lucernare. = So=20 lucernare takes place at the Anastasis and at the Cross, and all = the=20 people to a man escort the bishop thence with hymns to Sion. And when = they have=20 arrived, hymns suitable to the day and to the place are said there also, = and=20 lastly that passage from the Gospel is read where,

1 S. John xx. 19.
2 S. John xx. = 25.
3=20 See note 4 on page 81. " On the same Sunday," etc.=20

<84>

on the Octave of Easter,1 the Lord came in where the = disciples=20 were, and reproved Thomas because he had been unbelieving. The whole of = that=20 lesson is read, with prayer afterwards; both the catechumens and the = faithful=20 are blessed, and every one returns to his house as usual, just as on the = Lord's=20 Day of Easter, at the second hour of the night.

12. Easter to Whitsuntide. Now, from Easter to the fiftieth = day, that=20 is, to Pentecost, no one fasts here, not even those who are = apotactitae.=20 During these days, as throughout the whole year, the customary things = are done=20 at the Anastasis from the first cockcrow until morning, and at the sixth = hour=20 and at lucernare likewise. But on the Lord's Days the procession = is=20 always to the martyrium, that is, to the great church, according to = custom, and=20 they go thence w ith hymns to the Anastasis. On the fourth and sixth = weekdays,=20 as no one fasts during those days, the procession is to Sion, but in the = morning; the dismissal is made in its due order.

13. The Ascension.--Festival at Bethlehem.2

On the fortieth day after Easter, that is, on the fifth

1 S. John xx. 26-29.
2 Between Easter and = Whitsunday=20 Etheria describes no festivals with the exception of this cursory = mention of the=20 Ascension, of which "it is impossible to find a trace before the middle = of the=20 fourth century " (Duchesne). It is not given in the Old Arm. Lect., but = on May 7=20 we find the following--
"They assemble before holy Golgotha, on the = day of=20 the appearance in heaven of the Sign of the holy Cross, and this = {footnote=20 continued below}=20

<85>

weekday--(for all go on the previous day, that is, on the fourth = weekday,=20 after the sixth hour to Bethlehem to celebrate the vigils, for the = vigils are=20 kept in Bethlehem, in the church wherein is the cave1 where = the Lord=20 was born)--On this fifth weekday, the fortieth day after Easter, the=20 dismissal2 is celebrated in its due order, so that the = priests and=20 the bishop preach, treating of the things suitable to the day and the = place, and=20 afterwards every one returns to Jerusalem late.

FESTIVALS OF WHITSUNTIDE=20

1. Whitsunday.--(a) Morning Station.3

But on the fiftieth day, that is, the Lord's Day, when the people = have a very=20 great deal to go through, everything that is customary is done from the = first

{footnote continues from above} canon is performed: Ps. = xcvii.6 ;=20 Epistle of Cyril, bishop of Jerusalem to Constantine; Gal. vi. 14-18; = Alleluiah;=20 Ps. xcviii. ; S. Matt. xxiv. 30-35."
1 See Introduction, = p.=20 xlvii.
2 Lat. missa celebratur.
3 In = the Old=20 Arm. Lect. we have as follows: "On the Sunday of Holy Pentecost, they = assemble=20 in the holy Shrine. Canon: Ps. cxliii.10 , Acts ii. 1-21; = Alleluiah;=20 Ps. How lovely are the courts ; S. John xiv. 15-24.
At the same time, = after=20 the dismissal from the Shrine at the third hour, they proceed to holy = Sion.=20 Canon: Ps. the same, and same lection; S. John xiv. 25-29.
On the = same=20 Sunday, at the tenth hour, they assemble on the holy Mount of Olives, = and the=20 same Psalm and the same lection are used, S. John xvi. 5-15. And there, = after=20 the Gospel, takes place a gonuklisia, thrice. And in all places = in the=20 same manner, and at even they proceed to Holy Sion. Canon: Ps. cxliii. = 10; S.=20 John xiv. 15-24."=20

<86>

cockcrow onwards; vigil is kept in the Anastasis, and the bishop = reads the=20 passage from the Gospel that is always read on the Lord's Day, namely, = the=20 account of the Lord's Resurrection, and afterwards everything customary = is done=20 in the Anastasis, just as throughout the whole year. But when morning is = come,=20 all the people proceed to the great church, that is, to the martyrium, = and all=20 things usual are done there; the priests preach and then the bishop, and = all=20 things that are prescribed are done, the oblation being made, as is = customary on=20 the Lord's Day, only the same dismissal1 in the martyrium is=20 hastened, in order that it may be made before the third hour.

(b) Station at Sion. And when the dismissal has been = made at=20 the martyrium, all the people, to a man, escort the bishop with hymns to = Sion,=20 [so that] they are in Sion when the third hour is fully come. And on = their=20 arrival there the passage from the Acts of the Apostles2 is read where = the=20 Spirit came down so that all tongues [were heard and all men] understood = the=20 things that were being spoken, and the dismissal takes place afterwards = in due=20 course For the priests read there from the Acts of the Apostles = concerning the=20 selfsame thing, because that is the place in Sion--there is another = church there=20 now--where once, after the Lord's Passion, the multitude was gathered = together=20 with the Apostles,

1 Lat. eadem adceleleratur missa.
2 = Acts ii.=20 1 ff.=20

<87>

and where this was done, as we have said above. Afterwards the = dismissal=20 takes place in due course, and the oblation is made there. Then, that = the people=20 may be dismissed, the archdeacon raises his voice, and says: "Let us all = be=20 ready to day in Eleona, in the Imbomon, directly after the sixth hour."

(c) Station at the Mount of Olives.

So all the people return, each to his house, to rest themselves, and=20 immediately after breakfast they ascend the Mount of Olives, that is, to = Eleona,=20 each as he can, so that there is no Christian left in the city who does = not go.=20 When, therefore, they have gone up the Mount of Olives, that is, to = Eleona, they=20 first enter the Imbomon, that is, the place whence the Lord ascended = into=20 heaven, and the bishops and the priests take their seat there, and = likewise all=20 the people. Lessons are read there with hymns interspersed,antiphons too = are=20 said suitable to the day and the place, also the prayers which are = interspersed=20 have likewise similar references. The passage from the Gospel is also = read where=20 it speaks of the Lord's Ascension, also that from the Acts of the=20 Apostles1 which tells of the Ascension of the Lord into = heaven after=20 His Resurrection. And when this is over, the catechumens and then the = faithful=20 are blessed, and they come down thence, it being already the ninth hour, = and go=20 with hymns to that church which is in Eleona, wherein is the cave where = the Lord=20 was wont to sit and teach His Apostles. And as it is already

1 S. Luke xxiv 50 ff.; Acts i. 9 ff.=20

<88>

past the tenth hour when they arrive, lucernare takes place = there;=20 prayer is made, and the catechumens and likewise the faithful are = blessed.

(d) Night Procession.

And then all the people to a man descend thence with the bishop, = saying hymns=20 and antiphons suitable to that day, and so come very slowly to the = martyrium. It=20 is already night when they reach the gate of the city, and about two = hundred=20 church candles are provided for the use of the people. And as it is = agood=20 distance from the gate to the great church, that is, the martyrium, they = arrive=20 about the second hour of the night, for they go the whole way very = slowly lest=20 the people should be weary from being afoot. And when the great gates = are=20 opened, which face towards the market-place, all the people enter the = martyrium=20 with hymns and with the bishop. And when they have entered the church, = hymns are=20 said, prayer is made, the catechumens and also the faithful are blessed; = after=20 which they go again with hymns to the Anastasis, where on their arrival = hymns=20 and antiphons are said, prayer is made, the catechumens and also the = faithful=20 are blessed; this is likewise done at the Cross. Lastly, all the = Christian=20 people to a man escort the bishop with hymns to Sion, and when they are = come=20 there, suitable lessons are read, psalrns and antiphons are said, prayer = is=20 made, the catechumens and the faithful are blessed, and the dismissal = takes=20 place. And after the dismissal all approach the bishop's hand, and then = every=20 one returns to his house about midnight.

<89>

Thus very great fatigue is endured on that day, for vigil is kept at = the=20 Anastasis from the first cockcrow, and there is no pause from that time = onward=20 throughout the whole day, but the whole celebration (of the Feast) lasts = so long=20 that it is midnight when every one returns home after the dismissal has = taken=20 place at Sion.

2. Resumption of the Ordinary Services. Now, from the day = after the=20 fiftieth day all fast as is customary throughout the whole year, each = one as he=20 is able, except on the Sabbath and on the Lord's Day, which are never = kept as=20 fasts in this place. On the ensuing days everything is done as during = the whole=20 year, that is, vigil is kept in the Anastasis from the first cockcrow. = And if it=20 be the Lord's Day, at the earliest cockcrow the bishop first reads in = the=20 Anastasis, as is customary, the passage from the Gospel concerning the=20 Resurrection, which is always read on the Lord's Day, and then = afterwards hymns=20 and antiphons are said in the Anastasis until daylight. But if it be not = the=20 Lord's Day, only hymns and antiphons are said in like manner in the = Anastasis=20 from the first cockcrow until daylight. All the apotactitae, and = of the=20 people those who are able, attend; the clergy go by turns, daily. The = clergy go=20 there at first cockcrow, but the bishop always as it begins to dawn, = that the=20 morning dismissal may be made with all the clergy present except on the = Lord's=20 Day, when (the bishop) has to go at the first cockcrow, that he may read = the=20 Gospel in the Anastasis. Afterwards everything is done as usual

<90>

in the Anastasis until the sixth hour, and at the ninth, as well as = at=20 lucernare, according to the custom of the whole year. But on the = fourth=20 and sixth weekdays, the ninth hour is kept in Sion as is customary.

BAPTISM1=20

1. The Inscribing of the Competents.

Moreover, I must write how they are taught who are baptised at = Easter. Now he=20 who gives in his name, gives it in on the day before Quadragesima, and = the=20 priest writes down the names of all; this is before the eight weeks = which I have=20 said are kept here at Quadragesima. And when the priest has written down = the=20 names of all, after the next day of Quadragesima, that is, on the day = when the=20 eight weeks begin, the chair is set for the bishop in the midst of the = great=20 church, that is, at the martyrium, and the priests sit in chairs on = either side=20 of him, while all the clergy stand. Then one by one the competents are = brought=20 up, coming, if they are males (viri) with their fathers, and if = females=20 (feminae), with their mothers. Then the bishop asks the = neighbours of=20 every one who has entered concerning each individual, saying: "Does this = person=20 lead a good life, is he obedient to his parents, is he not given to = wine, nor=20 deceitful?" making also inquiry about the several vices which are more = serious=20 in man.2 And if he

1 For this section see Thompson on Baptismal = Offices, pp.=20 52 ff.
2 Lat. singula vitiae quae sunt tamen graviora = in=20 homine. It is difficult so decide whether this means "the various = more=20 {footnote continued below}=20

<91>

has proved him in the presence of witnesses to be blameless in all = these=20 matters concerning which he has made inquiry, he writes down his name = with his=20 own hand. But if he is accused in any matter, he orders him to go out, = saying:=20 "Let him amend, and when he has amended then let him come to the font=20 (lavacrum)." And as he makes inquiry concerning the men, so also = does he=20 concerning the women. But if any be a stranger, he comes not so easily = to=20 Baptism, unless he has testimonials from those who know him.

2. Preparation for Baptism--Catechisings.

This also I must write, reverend sisters, lest you should think that = these=20 things are done without good reason. The custom here is that they who = come to=20 Baptism through those forty days, which are kept as fast days, are first = exorcised by the clergy early in the day, as soon as the morning = dismissal has=20 been made in the Anastasis. Immediately afterwards the chair is placed = for the=20 bishop at the martyrium in the great church, and all who are to be = baptised sit=20 around, near -the bishop, both men and women, their fathers and mothers = standing=20 there also. Besides these, all the people who wish to hear come in and = sit=20 down--the faithful however only, for no catechumen enters there when the = bishop=20 teaches the others the Law. Beginning from Genesis he goes through all = the=20 Scriptures

{footnote continued from above} serious human vices" (in males and = females),=20 in which case there is apparently no force in tamen, or "the = various=20 vices, which are more serious in a male (than in a female) all the = same," in=20 which case Etheria uses homo, where just before and after she = uses=20 vir.=20

<92>

during those forty days, explaining them, first literally, and then = unfolding=20 them spiritually. They are also taught about the Resurrection, and = likewise all=20 things concerning the Faith during those days. And this is called the=20 catechising.

3. "Traditio" of the Creed.

Then when five weeks are completed from the time when their teaching = began,=20 (the Competents) are then taught the Creed.1 And as he = explained the=20 meaning of all the Scriptures, so does he explain the meaning of the = Creed; each=20 article first literally and then spiritually. By this means all the = faithful in=20 these parts follow the Scriptures when they are read in church, inasmuch = as they=20 are all taught during those forty days from the first to the third hour, = for the=20 catechising lasts for three hours. And God knows, reverend sisters, that = the=20 voices of the faithful who come in to hear the catechising are louder = (in=20 approval) of the things spoken and explained by the bishop than they are = when he=20 sits and preaches in church. Then, after the dismissal of the = catechising is=20 made, it being already the third hour, the bishop is at once escorted = with hymns=20 to the Anastasis. So the dismissal takes place at the third hour. Thus = are they=20 taught for three hours a day for seven weeks, but in the eighth week of=20 Quadragesima, which is called the Great Week, there is no time for them = to be=20 taught, because the things that are [described] above must be carried=20 out.2

1 Lat. accipient simbolum. 2 i.e. = the=20 Holy Week Services.=20

<93>

4. "Redditio" [Recitation] of the Creed.

And when the seven weeks are past, [and] the Paschal week is left, = which they=20 call here the Great Week, then the bishop comes in the morning into the = great=20 church at the martyrium, and the chair is placed for him in the apse = behind the=20 altar, where they come one by one, a man with his father and a woman = with her=20 mother, and recite the Creed to the bishop. And when they have recited = the Creed=20 to the bishop, he addresses them all, and says: "During these seven = weeks you=20 have been taught all the law of the Scriptures, you have also heard = concerning=20 the Faith, and concerning the resurrection of the flesh, and the whole = meaning=20 of the Creed, as far as you were able, being yet catechumens. But the = teachings=20 of the deeper mystery, that is, of Baptism itself, you cannot hear, = being as yet=20 catechumens. But, lest you should think that anything is done without = good=20 reason, these, when you have been baptised in the Name of God, you shall = hear in=20 the Anastasis, during the eight Paschal days, after the dismissal from = the=20 church has been made. You, being as yet catechumens, cannot be told the = more=20 secret mysteries of God."

5. Mystic Catechisings.

But when the days of Easter have come, during those eight days, that = is, from=20 Easter to the Octave, when the dismissal from the church has been made, = they go=20 with hymns to the Anastasis. Prayer is said anon, the faithful are = blessed, and=20 the bishop stands, leaning against the inner rails which are in the cave

<94>

of the Anastasis, and explains all things that are done in Baptism. = In that=20 hour no catechumen approaches the Anastasis, but only the neophytes and = the=20 faithful, who wish to hear concerning the mysteries, enter there, and = the doors=20 are shut lest any catechumen should draw near. And while the bishop = discusses=20 and sets forth each point, the voices of those who applaud are so loud = that they=20 can be heard outside the church. And truly the mysteries are so unfolded = that=20 there is no one unmoved at the things that he hears to be so explained.

Now, forasmuch as in that province some of the people know both Greek = and=20 Syriac, while some know Greek alone and others only Syriac; and because = the=20 bishop, although he knows Syriac, yet always speaks Greek, and never = Syriac,=20 there is always a priest standing by who, when the bishop speaks Greek,=20 interprets into Syriac, that all may understand what is being taught. = And=20 because all the lessons that are read in the church must be read in = Greek, he=20 always stands by and interprets them into Syriac, for the people's sake, = that=20 they may always be edified. Moreover, the Latins here, who understand = neither=20 Syriac nor Greek, in order that they be not disappointed, have (all = things)=20 explained to them, for there are other brothers and sisters knowing both = Greek=20 and Latin, who translate into Latin for them. But what is above all = things very=20 pleasant and admirable here, is that the hymns, the antiphons, and the = lessons,=20 as well as the prayers which the bishop says, always have suitable and = fitting=20 references, both to the day that is being celebrated and also to the = place where=20 the celebration is taking place.

<95>

VIII=20

DEDICATION OF CHURCHES1

Those are called the days of dedication when the holy church which is = in=20 Golgotha, and which they call the martyrium, was consecrated to God; the = holy=20 church also which is at the Anastasis, that is, in the place where the = Lord rose=20 after His Passion, was consecrated to God on that day. The dedication of = these=20 holy churches is therefore celebrated with the highest honour, because = the Cross=20 of the Lord was found on this same day. And it was so ordained that, = when the=20 holy churches above mentioned were first consecrated, that should be the = day=20 when the Cross of the Lord had been found, in order that the whole = celebration=20 should be made together, with all rejoicing, on the self-same day. = Moreover, it=20 appears from the Holy Scriptures2 that this is also the day = of=20 dedication, when holy Solomon, having finished the House of God which he = had=20 built, stood before the altar of God and prayed, as it is written in the = books=20 of the Chronicles.

So when these days of dedication are come, they are kept for eight = days. And=20 people begin to assemble from all parts many days before; not only monks

1 In the Old Arm. Lect. we have: "September 23, dedication = of the=20 holy places. On the first day in the holy Anastasis, this canon is = performed:=20 Ps. Ixv.1 ; Tim. iii. 14-16; Alleluiah: Ps. = cxlvii.12; S.=20 John x. 22-42 . . ." [Mr. Conybeare notes that in the MS. the last line = of this=20 lection is torn away as well as the beginning of the rubric which = follows, and=20 which related to the feast of the Cross, called Warag, on the = following=20 day.]
2 2 Chron. vi., vii. 8-10.=20

<96>

and apotactitae from various provinces, from Mesopotamia and = Syria,=20 from Egypt and the Thebaid (where there are very many monks), and from = every=20 different place and province--for there is none who does not turn his = steps to=20 Jerusalem on that day for such rejoicing and for such high days--but lay = people=20 too in like manner, both men and women, with faithful minds, gather = together in=20 Jerusalem from every province on those days, for the sake of the holy = day And=20 the bishops, even when they have been few, are present to the number of = forty or=20 fifty in Jerusalem on these days, and with them come many of their = clergy. But=20 why should I say more? for he who on these days has not been present at = so=20 solemn a feast thinks that he has committed a very great sin, unless = some=20 necessity, which keeps a man back from carrying out a good resolution, = has=20 hindered him. Now on these days of the dedication the adornment of all = the=20 churches is the same as at Easter and at Epiphany, also on each day the=20 procession is made to the several holy places, as at Easter and at = Epiphany. For=20 on the first and second days it is to the greater church, which is = called the=20 martyrium. On the third day it is to Eleona, that is, the church which = is on=20 that mount whence the Lord ascended into heaven after His Passion, and = in this=20 church is the cave wherein the Lord used to teach His Apostles on the = Mount of=20 Olives. But on the fourth day . . .=20
