Prokios (Proclus) of Constantinople (d. 446) writes: "When the great Basil . . . saw the carelessness and degeneracy of men who feared the length of the Liturgy — not as if he thought it too long — he shortened its form, so as to remove the weariness of the
clergy and assistants"
Eu v-am zis ca si Sfantul Vasile a scurtat Liturghia.Intrebarea e cat dura inainte.
