Some time later these rubrics were gradually replaced by the rubrics of Saint Sabbas (†532), also called the rubrics of Jeruzalem, already predominant in the Eastern part of the Empire, and which were ol ...

Up to the early 20th century, the Eastern Orthodox Church used the Julian Calendar universally, not accepting the calendar reforms of the Roman Catholic Council of Trent (1545-1563) and the then-current Roman Pope Gregory XIII.

It was also used for direct address. Adjectives in the predicate (qualifying a noun on the other side of 'to be') were also in the nominative. The accusative indicated the direct object of the sentence, for exampl ...
