metadata.value: The orthodox liturgy was finally established during the 8th and 9th centuries. The
  two stepbrothers and eminent Byzantine poets St. Cosmas of Maiuma and St. John
  of Damascus greatly contributed to its development. They composed the majority of
  the irmi and troparia that are still performed during the liturgy today. During their
  lives, however, worshippers were facing certain difficulties in understanding the
  meaning of church odes. This is also true today when orthodox liturgy occasionally
  becomes an obstacle on the path to God for the worshippers. Greater efforts are also
  required in order to understand the liturgy and this is not always easy. One of the
  reasons for this is an incorrect translation of many odes into Russian and Slavonic.
  Comments from 12th century Byzantine writers and poets can help us clarify their
  meaning. Gregory of Corinth and his 23 commentaries on the liturgical canons are
  particularly noteworthy. In the current article, a philological analysis is conducted
  of two complex, “obscure” and unclear passages from the Canon of Pentecost. At
  the same time, Metropolitan Gregory’s exegeses of these extracts, which can help
  us better understand the meaning not only of these passages but also of the whole
  celebration, are cited.
