"Events in the sky": hierohistory and liturgic mystery

Henry Corbin created the concept of hierohistory to give an account of spiritual events which happen in the soul's world and are taken by our capacity of perception of theophanic forms.   This sacred history makes sense, since it is animated by a downwards and return motion cycle, by founding dramaturgy and eschatology.  
This conference's aim is to show that liturgic time is, within Christianism, the privileged method of expression of hierohistory, like religious communities evoked by Corbin, 

written sources y iconographic of the Middle Ages , especially in a monastic environment.

At the time of this world, liturgy appears like the permanent actualization and synthetic recapitulation of the fall drama, of accomplishment of salvation and an eschatologic perspective which expresses perfectly by the reunion proclaimed of angels and men in the celebration of divine glory.









The perception of eucharistic mystery, the unification of the saving Christ to typological mysterious figures, the story of visionary experiences in synchronism with liturgic time, the affirmation of the sky origin of sanctuaries dedicated to the archangel Micheal are evidences of the inscription of hierohistory in the framework of space and time of medieval western.
