The Russian Palestine
Kolář, Vojtěch ; Vopatrný, Gorazd Josef (advisor) ; Luptáková, Marina (referee)
Russian Palestine Diploma thesis Vojtěch Kolář Praha 2013 Abstract This diploma thesis entitled "The Russian Palestine" deals with activities of the Russian Orthodox Church and Russian diplomatic corps designed to help Russian pilgrims to the holy places in Palestine as well as local Orthodox believers in the Levant in the 19th and beginning of 20th century. These activities were accompanied by considerable tension not only between Russian activists in Palestine and in Russia, but also in their encounters with Greek hierarchy in Jerusalem and Constantinople as well as with Western diplomats and missionaries pursuing Catholic and Protestant interests in the same area. The aim of this thesis is to offer an insight into motivations, ways and results of their activities in Palestine and to call attention to the difficulties they were facing. This work is neither an apology nor a criticism of either of the instruments of Russian influence - the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem (since 1847) and Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (since 1882) respectively. Because of the broadness of the subject it was not always possible to follow strict historiographic methods. Therefore this thesis is concerned mostly with biographical material of some of the most influential Russian personalities of the...

The Theological Delineation of the Icon in the Teaching of the Orthodox Church, with Emphasis on the Seventh Ecumenical Council
Kout, Vít ; Luptáková, Marina (advisor) ; Milko, Pavel (referee)
In this paper, I will attempt to present a comprehensive picture of the theological significance of the icon in the Orthodox Church. My goal is to contribute at least to a slight extent to the spreading of a consciousness about icons as vehicles of dogmatic communication, specifically in the Czech environment, which still lacks a wide range of basic catechetical literature. My work delineates the concept of an icon and continues with an explanation of its mystical role arising from the creation of humankind in the image and likeness of God. I consider that the basic criterion of an image - its element of divine inspiration corresponding to an adequate extent to God's current economy, which fully culminates in the Pentecost - is fully justified by the constant presence of the use of iconographic expression in the liturgical acts of the Old Testament and New Testament Churches. In order to explain the mystic and sanctifying nature of the icon, I include an interpretation of the philosophical system of the Christian-Neo-Platonic tradition of understanding the presence of the archetype in the image on the basis of the element of similarity. In the outline of basic subjects during the Seventh Ecumenical Council, by the analysis in controversial use of the terms "latreia" and "proskynesis" in council documents, a...

Táborský, Jiří ; Luptáková, Marina (advisor) ; Milko, Pavel (referee)
In our work, we have tried to study the Feast of the Feast in the Orthodox Church, from a historical, dogmatic and liturgical point of view. We sought a descriptive and comparative approach that would have elements of a case study. We looked mainly at the feast of the Church of the Blessed Virgin, which is basically part of the feast of the Nativity. We looked at the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, then at the feast of the Annunciation, Introduction to the Church and, of course, the feast of the Assumption, which enjoys great respect in Orthodoxy and is nicknamed the Mother of God Passover. The main purpose was to delve deeper into the meaning of the Mother of God in human life, so that the Mother of God could teach each of us to live in the Truth, that is, to live in Christ.

Spiritual Significance of the Orthodox Christian Church Chant
Vaňková Filina, Larisa ; Vopatrný, Gorazd Josef (advisor) ; Luptáková, Marina (referee)
This work contains a narrative about a liturgical chant, its history and various genres and styles. A lot of attention is paid to explaining the theory and practice of various ancient chants. All this helps to understand better the meaning of the phrase "spiritual influence". The second part of the work deals with the practice of the choir directors' (regents') work, the choice of the repertoire and the relationship between the choir director, the choir and the priest. It is about the influence of various musical styles, the tempo and power of the sound of the performed works on the spiritual state of a person. Speaking about the liturgical basis of choir singing in the Orthodox Church, I reveal the concepts of theory and practice. I recall the early Christian practice of psalm chant, traditional singing in an Orthodox church and also modern liturgical singing. The Church Charter is of great importance for understanding the choir singing. The essence of church chant is to convey the meaning of the prayers performed by musical means as fully as possible and transmit them to all those participating in the service, as the choir is the mouth of the worshipers. The challenges facing the Orthodox Church at the present time are not less important than those that faced it a hundred years ago. The future...
