"ART FOR THE CHRISTIAN LITURGY IN THE MIDDLE AGES
The term liturgy refers to the rites and ceremonies prescribed
by the Eastern and Western Church for communal worship. The central
focus of the liturgy is the Eucharist, in which Christians take
consecrated wine and bread in commemoration of the Last Supper and
Christ's death. While liturgical practices were codified gradually
over several centuries and varied locally, eucharistic vessels for
the bread and wine, the paten, and the chalice remained indispensable
(Attarouthi Treasure, 1986.3.1-15; Chalice, Paten, and Straw, 47.101.26-29).
The liturgy in both the Eastern and Western Church necessitated
a variety of additional objects such as books, often richly decorated,
for prayers, music, and Old and New Testament readings (Leaf from
a Missal, 1992.238); crosses for the altar and to be carried in
procession (The Cloisters Cross, 63.12; Processional Cross, 1993.163);
censers for the burning of incense; and lighting devices for the
sanctuary (Polycandelon with Crosses, PG.7.2000). Because of their
sacred function, liturgical objects were often crafted of the most
precious materials. In a written account of Justinian’s famed
sixth-century church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, one author
tells of hundreds of vessels and furnishings made of pure gold with
pearls and precious stones. Emulating the splendors of Byzantium
in his lavish commissions for the royal abbey church of Saint-Denis,
north of Paris, Abbot Suger exclaimed in the 1140s:
If golden pouring vessels, golden vials, golden little mortars
used to serve … to collect the blood of goats or calves, how
much more must golden vessels, precious stones, and whatever is
most valued … be laid out … for the reception of the
blood of Christ! Surely, neither we nor our possessions suffice
for this service..."
