摘要:The work presents the Liturgy of the Holy Mystery of εύχέλαιον (the Anointing of the Sick) in the Orthodox Church, continuing the previous work on the theology of this holy mystery (published in Crkva u svijetu 4/2011). The first part presents liturgical development, particularly in the Byzantine Church. The second part explains the main elements of celebration of this holy mystery in the practice of the Greek Orthodox Church, and then follows the central part of the work: Liturgy of the Holy Mystery of εύχέλαιον according to the Book of Rites (Trebnik) of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The third part presents the same rite at the united Easterners (Greek Catholics), and also a brief view of this holy mystery in the ancient Eastern Churches (Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian, Syrian and Assyrian/Chaldean liturgical tradition). Finally, the author examines the possibilities of liturgical enrichment of celebration of the Anointing of the Sick in the Catholic practice.
