Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book ( of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
Nearest Book: Through Their Own Eyes - Liturgy as the Byzantines Saw It by Archimandrite Robert F. Taft, S.J.
Three Sentences: I'm not sure Justinian wasn't swimming up stream, because if you look at all the illustrations in all the miniscules and manuscripts, as well as the rubrics, it's quite clear that in the Byzantine tradition, the prayers - and those rubrics are still found in the anaphora of St. Basil; Why? Because there was a liturgical law formulated by Anton Baumstark years ago that [says:] "Liturgies less frequently celebrated remain more conservative." So the anaphora of St. Basil says that the priest prays klinomenos - bowing.
Fr. Taft likes his run-on sentences. In his defense this is from his oral Q&A session after presenting a paper. Now... whom to tag in turn.
