Abstract

The article elucidates the liturgical context of the Cherubic hymn, officially installed in the liturgy of the Hagia Sophia in 573/574. The detailed analysis of the hymn and its biblical background leads to the suggestion that the Emperor Justin II. wanted a theological interpretation of his reign being expressed. Taking into account especially the role of the Emperor in the procession this seems very probable. So even the criticizing of the official installation of the hymn appears to be an important political struggle about the relation between Emperor and church: Justin II. wanted to make permanent the special role of the Emperor during the inauguration of the Hagia Sophia.
