Ragnvald Frøyshov from March until August 2019.ABSTRACT: In this article I will make a survey of the usage of the main nativity motifs that can be found in early Greek and Slavonic hymnography, such as the «kata stichon» hymns. Moreover, I will compare them with the nativity motifs that are mentioned in several works belonging to the homiletic literature, such as Pseudo-Chrysostom’s sermon known as «In illud, Memor fui Dei, et delectatus sum» or St. Proclus’ «Oratio in natalem diem Domini», as well as with the apocryphal Gospels and Infancy Gospels. In this way, we can have an idea of the mutual references that are made between all those works, and of the different usage that they show.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/The Usage of Scriptural Nativity Motifs in Early Greek and Slavonic Hymnographyjournal article2449-8378https://czasopisma.uni.lodz.pl/sceranea/article/view/16814https://doi.org/10.18778/2084-140X.13.37https://czasopisma.uni.lodz.pl/sceranea/indexhttps://www.uni.lodz.pl/en/lodz-university-presshttps://www.czasopisma.uni.lodz.pl/open access27‑23527‑312.1821.14:27‑235821.16:27‑235«Kata stichon» hymnsBook of HoursHomiletic literatureApocryphal GospelsNativity MotifsHistoria de las religiones (Religión)Historia de las religiones (Religión)CristianismoBibliaFilología5506.21 Historia de las Religiones5101.10 Religión5906.05 Religión6301.10 Sociología de la Religión5702.01-1 Versiones Griegas de la Biblia5505.10 Filología
