Abstract

V originále

This article discusses the relationship between the architecture and decoration of churches built during the reign of Emperor Justinian, liturgical performances of the same period, and Pseudo-Dionysius’ reflections on the theophanic potential of matter. In so doing, it stresses the existence of an under-explored perceptual dimension of the mise-en-scenes of liturgical performances in church space, which according to Pseudo-Dionysius functioned as genuine revelations, at least for the less educated members of their audiences.
