About Metsihafe Kidase
This Liturgy book app gives directions to ministers and people for conduct of the Holy Communion service. Sacred liturgy is the very heart of Ethiopian Orthodox worship. All the various kinds and types of Orthodox prayer and ritual cluster around the Sacrifice of the Mass which was instituted by the Lord the same night in which He was betrayed
The Ethiopian Liturgy is divided into two parts, the introductory part called Ordo Communis and the Eucharistic part called Anaphora. The Anaphora is the more solemn portion of the Liturgy, the central point of which is the great Oblation. It commences with the words “Sursum Corda”, or with their equivalents, which occur in all Liturgies, and includes the rest of the services to the end.
The Anaphoras are officially fourteen, the basic one in normal use being that of the Twelve Apostles. In the some ancient monasteries about six other Anaphoras are used. The Ethiopic Liturgy was the first to be published of all the Oriental Liturgies. It was printed at Rome in 1548.
Official Anaphoras:
1) Anaphora of the Apostles
2) Anaphora of our Lord Jesus Christ
3) Anaphora of our Lady Mary
4) Anaphora of St. John Chrysostom
5) Anaphora of St. Dioscorus
6) Anaphora of St. John the Evangelist
7) Anaphora of St. Gregory the Armenian
8) Anaphora of the 318 Orthodox
9) Anaphora of St. Athanasius
10) Anaphora of St.Basil
11) Anaphora of St. Gregory Nazianzen
12) Anaphora of St.Epiphanius
13) Anaphora of St. Cyril
14) Anaphora of James Serug (The complete Ethiopian Liturgy)
