Orthodox liturgy

[Giampaolo Gandolfo]

    Does anyone know which might be the origin of the sumptuous orthodox rite
Byzantine imperial court
Hebrew religious cerimonies
The Orient (but which Orient, how, and when?)
Any bibliographic reference?
I will be grateful for whatever hint on this intriguing (at least for me) subject.
            Giampaolo Gandolfo
