The maniple is a liturgical vestment used primarily within the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, and occasionally used by some Anglo-Catholic clergy. It is an embroidered band of silk or similar fabric that when worn hangs from the left arm. It is only used within the context of the Mass, and it is of the same liturgical colour as the other Mass vestments.In its 1967 instruction, Tres Abhinc Annos, the Roman Catholic Church's Sacred Congregation of Rites effectively removed the obligation to use the maniple during the liturgy. The document states:"The maniple is no longer required"After this Instruction, the vestment fell out of liturgical use.Some claim that the use of the maniple in the Roman Rite, for example, cites comments made...

In ancient Celtic religion, Maponos or Maponus is a god of youth known mainly in northern Britain but also in Gaul. In Roman times he was equated with Apollo. The Welsh mythological figure Mabon ap Modron is apparently derived from Maponos, who by analogy we may suggest was the son of the mother-goddess Dea Matrona. The Irish god Aengus, also known as the Mac Og, is probably related to Maponos, as are the Arthurian characters Mabuz and Mabonagrain. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

A marabout is an Islamic religious leader and teacher in West Africa, and (historically) in the Maghreb. The marabout is often a scholar of the Qur'an, or religious teacher. Others may be wandering holy men who survive on alms, Sufi Murshids ("Guides"), or leaders of religious communities. Still others keep alive syncretic pre-Islamic traditions, making amulets for good luck, presiding at various ceremonies, telling the future, and in some cases actively guiding the lives of followers. The common practice of receiving gifts or money for this service is disapproved of by orthodox Muslims. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

The terms "Mardi Gras" and "Mardi Gras season", in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. From the French term "Mardi Gras" (literally "Fat Tuesday"), has come to mean the whole period of activity related to those events, beyond just the single day, often called Mardi Gras Day or Fat Tuesday. The season can be designated by the year, as in "Mardi Gras 2008". The time varies from city to city, as some traditions consider Mardi Gras as the Carnival period between Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday. Others treat the final three-day period as being Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, Mardi Gras events begin in November, followed by mystic society balls on Thanksgiving, then New...

Marital conversion refers to the concept of religious conversion upon marriage, either as a conciliatory act, or a mandated requirement according to a particular religious belief. Endogamous religious cultures may have certain opposition to interfaith marriage and ethnic assimilation, and may assert prohibitions against the conversion ("marrying out") of one their own claimed adherents. Conversely, they may require the marital conversion of those who wish to marry one of their adherents. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Hugh Marjoe Ross Gortner, generally known as Marjoe Gortner (born January 14, 1944 (1944-01-14) (age 65) in Long Beach, California), is a former revivalist who first gained a certain fame in the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s when he became the youngest ordained preacher at the age of four, and then outright notoriety in the 1970s when he starred in an Oscar-winning, behind-the-scenes documentary about the lucrative business of Pentecostal preaching. The name "Marjoe" is a portmanteau of the names "Mary" and "Joseph". When Marjoe was three, his father, Vernon Gortner a third generation minister, noticed his son's talent for mimicry and overall fearlessness of strangers and public settings. His parents claimed Marjoe had received a...

Mark the Evangelist is the traditional author of the Gospel of Mark, said to be the disciple and interpreter of Saint Peter, and the follower and Apostle of Jesus Christ. According to Eusebius, Mark composed a gospel embodying what he had heard Peter preach. Tradition identifies him with John Mark mentioned as a companion of Saint Paul in Acts, who later is said to have become a disciple of Saint Peter. Mark was believed to have traveled to Alexandria, Egypt and formed a church. He became its first bishop and founder of Christianity in Africa. He died in the eighth year of Nero and was buried there, Annianus succeeding him. His feast day is celebrated on April 25, and his symbol is the lion. Данное издание не...

Markan priority is the hypothesis that the Gospel of Mark was the first written of the three Synoptic Gospels, and that the two other synoptic evangelists, Matthew and Luke, used Mark's Gospel as one of their sources. The theory of Markan priority is today accepted by the majority of New Testament scholars who also hold that Matthew and Luke used a lost source of Jesus's sayings called Q. Their conclusion is largely based upon an analysis of the language and content relationship between the various books. Some scholars following Augustine say the Markan priority hypothesis is not consistent with internal...

Marranos or secret Jews (also known as Anusim) were Sephardic Jews (Jews resident in the Iberian peninsula) who were forced to adopt Christianity under threat of expulsion but who continued to practice Judaism secretly, thus preserving their Jewish identity. The term in Spanish meant pigs; it stemmed from the ritual prohibition against eating pork, a prohibition practiced by both Jews and Muslims. In Spanish, the term marrano acquired the meaning of "swine" or "filthy". In contemporary Spanish it is no longer associated with Jews. In Portuguese, the word refers only to crypto-Jews, since pig or "swine" is marrao or varrao. Not all conversos were immediately accused of being marranos. Those suspicions arose during times of social tension,...

With the rising divorce rates, ironically more within the Church, and other alternate and compromising arrangements being found, it is time that the Church pause and analyze whether the purpose and sanctity of the marriage as established in the Garden of Eden by God Almighty Himself has been understood and executed. A distorted understanding of the scriptures has only added to the issue. Marriage in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament is best understood in light of the covenant relationship between Yahweh and Israel and between Jesus and the Church. Hence, Marriage as a Covenant Relationship is an attempt to lay the biblical foundation of marriage with an exegetical study of Genesis 2:18. Building on the covenantal aspect...

Is the ancient adage true, that the Church's "law of prayer" establishes her "law of belief"? The author takes up this question in regard to the sacrament of matrimony in the Orthodox tradition. After surveying the perspectives of contemporary theologians on the meaning of marriage, he reviews recent research into its historical status in Middle Byzantine society. These two inquiries set the stage for the centrepiece of the book, an investigation into the manner in which married saints are depicted in the actual texts of the Menaion, the twelve-volume service book for sanctoral commemorations in the Byzantine Rite. The picture that emerges from the colourful array of characters feted in these pages challenges any ready equation of lex...

Marriage gifts have always form part of the marriage celebrations universally.These gifts revolve around the daughter who is the main the object of exchange between kanyapaksa and varapaksa respectively. This explains why in Ancient India the daughter was a super gift while other gifts were subsidiary.In Modern India the opposite is the truth. Motswapong demonstrates how the position of the bride as a gift has evolved from what she terms a "Super gift" to a "Poisonous gift." The daughter in Modern India becomes a vehicle for transporting the gifts. It is failure to produce gifts on demand that has left new brides either maimed or murdered by the in-laws. These accidents are commonly known as "kitchen fires" and later "dowry murders"....

Wahrend das Christusbekenntnis des Petrus in den synoptischen Evangelien hinreichen bekannt und untersucht ist, fristet das Christusbekenntnis der Marta im Johannnesevangelium eher ein Schattendasein. Das Buch widmet sich der Begegnung zwischen Marta und Jesus in Joh 11, an deren Abschluss das Christusbekenntnis der Marta steht. Dabei erweist sich diese Begegnung als ein kommunikatives Geschehen, in das Marta ihr grosses Vertrauen und ihre Offenheit gegenuber Jesus einbringt. Marta wird als glaubensstarke Frau hervorgehoben und darin den LeserInnen als Vorbild dargeboten. Dies zeigt vor allem der Vergleich mit dem nachosterlichen Bekenntnis in Joh 20,30-31. Denn zu diesem Bekenntnis, das grosse Ahnlichkeit mit Martas Bekenntnis aufweist,...

In this well-timed, important book, Luther scholar and ethicist Noel F.R. Guzman romanticizes the creational values and critiques the human-centered thoughts of Martin Luther, a pivotal figure of Christianity and Western civilization. This book mends the destructiveness of the human-centered elements in Luther's thought, largely shared with the broader Christian tradition, bringing Luther into contact with non-Western critiques, particularly the aboriginal communities, as well as criticizing the ethnocentric Christian mission. It further lays an ethic based on Luther's God-centered perspective against the anthropocentric tendencies of Christian tradition in order to redirect a more holistic mission and a right relationship with nature....
