Summary/Abstract: A Few Considerations on the Marian Titles in the Liturgy of Saint James. The liturgy, as a celebration of our encounter with God in faith, constitutes a fundamental source for the Dogmatic Theology. One of these liturgical sources is the Liturgy of Saint James which was celebrated in the Church of Jerusalem and had a decisive role in the elaboration of the Byzantine liturgies. The aim of my paper is to research this source from a mariological perspective, focusing primarily on the progressive reception of the titles of the Holy Virgin Mary in the Liturgy of Saint James and their meaning. Thus, we shall analyze the marianic titles which can be found in the old sources and in the oldest manuscripts of the text of the Liturgy of Saint James, make the links with the Holy Gospel, with the evolution of the Liturgy of Saint James and present their main dogmatic and spiritual significance.
