The Polychronion (Greek: Πολυχρόνιον, "many years" or "long-lived", literally "long-timed"; (グルジア語:მრავალჟამიერი, ''mravaljamieri''); (古代教会スラヴ語、教会スラヴ語:мъногаꙗ лѣта) ''mŭnogaja lěta'') is a solemn encomium chanted in the liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite. The Polychronion is chanted for the secular authorities (Orthodox monarchs are mentioned by name, non-orthodox leaders are mentioned by title), the church authorities (the Patriarch or diocesan bishop), individuals on specific occasions, and the whole community of Orthodox Christians. ==Forms== There are two forms of the Polychronion in the Slavic usage: *The more formal, which usually takes place at the end of the Divine Liturgy in which the deacon (or priest, if there is no deacon) recites the names of the individuals to be commemorated, and the choir responds by chanting "Εις πολλά έτη", "''Eis polla etē''" ("Many years!") three times. A version of this type may also be used to commemorate individuals on important days such as the day of their baptism, their name day or the anniversary of a clergyman's ordination. *In the less formal Polychronion the choir alone sings the commemorations, ending simply with "...may the Lord God preserve unto many years!", with no repetitions. This form is used at the end of Matins and Vespers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polychronion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
