Antimension Consecrated by Bishops George A. Hyde and Robert M. Clement Item Info
- Title:
- Antimension Consecrated by Bishops George A. Hyde and Robert M. Clement
- Date Created:
- 1980-10-05
- Description:
- This Byzantine antimension is a consecrated liturgical cloth that serves as the bishop's authorization for the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Depicting the Lamentation (Entombment) of Christ and inscribed in Church Slavonic with an English certification panel, it was consecrated and signed by Bishops George A. Hyde and Robert M. Clement on 5 October 1980. More than a devotional object, the antimension embodies episcopal authority and Eucharistic communion, documenting the close sacramental relationship between Hyde and Clement and the Church of the Beloved Disciple's appropriation of Byzantine liturgical tradition within an independent Orthodox-Catholic context.
