The Liturgy of Saint James

The church of Jerusalem

The eucharistic rite of Jerusalem, with the fullest of all ancient anaphoras: a long thanksgiving over creation, the Sanctus, the words of institution, and an explicit invocation of the Spirit on the gifts. It contains the hymn Let all mortal flesh keep silence.
