The Peculiarities of Preparing a Hymnographic Text: Difficulties of Hermeneutical and Linguistic Order

Abstract

The present article reveals the peculiarities of preparing the hymnographic text of the «Service to the New Martyr Yuri of Petrograd (Novitsky)» for its canonization by the Synodal Liturgical Commission. When writing new hymnographic texts, it is necessary to take into account the centuries-old experience of the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as the linguistic peculiarities of the Church Slavonic language for the correct construction of the expressions of parable li- turgical prayers. Turning to the holy theological heritage, the author of the article proposes to analyze the newly written hymnographic text using a hermeneutical approach.
