I read an article a few years back about an Orthodox Priest who had converted from Judaism, and was serving in Jerusalem under the Jerusalem Patriarchate. This Priest was working on translating the Liturgy of St. James into (or back into) Aramaic. How amazing would it be to hear the Divine Liturgy of St. James performed in what was probably its original language! Sadly, even though I’m Orthodox I’ve never heard the Divine Liturgy of St. James. I have read parts of it, and I hear that it is quite a long Liturgy.

Well, very few would hear the Liturgy of St. James, not unless you go to Jerusalem where it is said. It is a very long Liturgy (5 hours plus).

The Jewish rite. Go read Acts. They set it out there (granted, a bit sketchy, but it is there…). And Acts was written a tad bit before 300 AD.

Does this rite still exsist today?
 
Not to be a nit-picker, but…(as definitions go):

The first Rite of the Catholic Church was the Last Supper.

Just my 2 cents.

Well, I would say that was a significant part of it, but not all of it, as there is no mention of them going to synagogue… It certainly was the foundation of it as the second half of the rite.

Gotta watch those nits!😃
