Icon of Six Orthodox Liturgists

Four Liturgists COPYRIGHTED ART. Do not copy or deep-link to without prior permission from "Come and See" Icons, Books & Art.
St. James of Jerusalem, St. Basil the Great, St. John Chrysostom St. Gregory Dialogos

From the Anaphora
Let us stand aright; let us stand with fear; let us attend, that we may offer the Holy Oblation in peace.

These four Saints had liturgies named for them in the history of the Church, as they were the ones responsible for developing or authoring four different texts. Three of these liturgies are still used: St. John Chrysostom's is used most of the time. St. Basil's is used ten times during the year, mostly during Great Lent. St. Gregory is responsible for giving us the Pre-Sanctified Liturgy which is used on Wednesdays and/ or Fridays during Lent. The only part of St. James' liturgy to survive to the present day is the "Let all Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" hymn to be used in place of the Cherubim Hymn for the Great Entrance on Lazarus Saturday.
Their scrolls contain phrases that they contributed to the Liturgy.
Saint James of Jerusalem: "Let all mortal flesh keep silence."
Saint Basil the Great: "Be mindful, O Lord, of thy holy, catholic and apostolic church."
Saint John Chrysostom: "I will not speak of thy mystery to thine enemies."
Saint Gregory Dialogos: "Now the powers of heaven invisibly worship with us."

These icons are by the hand of Nicholas Papas. They are on the East wall at St. Philip's Antiochian Orthodox Church in Souderton, PA.
