Abstract

Kristocentričnost je teološko obilježje koje označava položaj Isusa Krista u povijesti stvaranja i spasenja, a utjelovljeno je u liturgijskoj arhitekturi u samom oltaru-žrtveniku. U prošlosti su se prvotno žrtvenici gradili na mjestima gdje se objavio Bog te su na taj način bili spomenici Božje naklonosti. Nakon objave, smrti i uskrsnuća Isus Krista javljaju se prve kršćanske zajednice koje su se na molitvu okupljale oko stola u obiteljskim kućama, a istovremeno su sudjelovali u tradicionalnim židovskim obredima u hramovima. Od Milanskog edikta 313. godine počinje gradnja prvih starokršćanskih bazilika, koje su bile građene po uzoru na židovske i poganske građevine te to se smatra početkom povijesti kršćanske liturgijske arhitekture. Dok su hramovi bili orijentirani prema jeruzalemskom hramu, crkve bivaju orijentirane prema istoku, mjestu gdje sunce izlazi, što označava iščekivanje Kristova ponovnog dolaska. Gradi se jedan oltar jer je jedan Krist, a sami oltar je istovremeno žrtvenik, jer simbolizira Kristovu žrtvu, i stol Gospodnji, jer poziva okupljenu zajednicu na Gozbu. Oltar je sami Krist, a to je pokazano u obredu posvete crkve gdje se pri mazanju oltara svetim uljem (krizmom) označava da je to Krist – Pomazanik Božji. Oltar se nalazi u središtu crkve te na taj način poziva okupljenu zajednicu da bude okupljena oko oltara, kao što su apostoli bili okupljeni oko Krista. Dok je prije II. Vatikanskog koncila svećenik također gledao prema oltaru, danas je okrenut prema narodu jer on simbolizira Krista, te kao Krist, zajedno s okupljenom zajednicom slavi spomenčin svoje pobjedne žrtve i na taj način ostvaruje djelo spasenja.

Abstract (english)

Christocentricity is a theological feature that marks the position of Jesus Christ in the history of creation and salvation, and it is shown in liturgical architecture in the altar. In the past, altars were originally built at the places where God was revealed. They were monuments of God's sympathy and presence. After the announcement, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the first Christian communities appeared. They gathered for common prayer around the table in family houses and they also participated in traditional Jewish prayers in temples. From the Edict of Milan in 313, the construction of the first paleo-Christian basilicas began, which were modeled after Jewish and pagan architecture. This is considered the beginning of the history of Christian liturgical architecture. While the temples were oriented towards the Jerusalem temple, the churches are oriented towards the east, where the sun rises, which signifies the anticipation of Christ's return. In the church, one altar is built because there is one Christ. It symbolizes Christ's sacrifice, and the Lord's table, because it invites the gathered community to the Feast. The altar is Christ himself, and this is shown in the rite of consecration of the church, where when the altar is anointed with holy oil (chrism), it is indicated that it is Christ - the Anointed One of God. The altar is located in the center of the church and thus invites the gathered community to be gathered around the altar, just as the apostles were gathered around Christ. While before the Second Vatican Council the priest also looked towards the altar, today he is facing the people because he symbolizes Christ. As Christ he celebrates the memorial act of his victorious sacrifice with the gathered community and in this way realizes Christ's work of salvation.
