La adelphopoiesis, fraternitas iurata u "ordo ad fratres faciendum" es una ceremonia practicada por varias iglesias cristianas durante la Edad Media e inicios de la Época Moderna en Europa para unir a dos personas del mismo sexo (habitualmente hombres). Adelphopoiesis proviene del griego ἀδελφός (adelphos) “hermano” y ποιῶ (poio) “yo hago”, literalmente “hacer hermanos”.
John Boswell ha señalado decenas de manuscritos originales, que presentan los rituales religiosos matrimoniales efectuados durante toda la Edad Media por sacerdotes católicos y ortodoxos dentro de las iglesias para consagrar bodas entre personas del mismo sexo, también se trataba de un pacto privado entre dos hombres en recinto sagrado.
Para llegar a sus conclusiones Boswell recorrió todas las grandes bibliotecas de Europa, incluida la Vaticana, donde encontró muchos de sus manuscritos. Como resultado obtuvo 80 manuscritos originales de las ceremonias de bodas homosexuales, en las que se invocaba como protectores a San Sergio y San Baco.
Las Bodas en la Edad Media no las celebraba un sacerdote como en la actualidad, las dos personas que iban a casarse leian el compromiso de unión y luego el sacerdote la bendecía o lo realizaban ante el altar y lo proclamaban a la comunidad. Esta pintura refleja claramente esta unión, en este caso santificada por el propio Jesús (en el centro, encima de ambos). Encontrada en el templo de Santa Catalina (monte Sinaí), en la actualidad se encuentra en el Museo Nacional de Kiev.
Su relación ha sido considerada como un ejemplo de las parejas homosexuales del principio del cristianismo, reflejando la tolerancia hacia la homosexualidad de los primeros cristianos, en esta época se les señala a menudo como "erastai" (amantes). De la extensión del rito del adelphopoiesis son testigo los cementerios ingleses e irlandeses, en los que se pueden encontrar numerosos enterramientos con los nombres de dos hombres. Las inscripciones son a menudo una muestra del cariño que se tenían: “El amor los unió en la vida. Que la tierra los una en la muerte”.
El culto a Sergio y Baco se refleja también en los numerosos templos que se realizaron en su honor, Estambul (actualmente mezquita, foto de arriba), Roma o Acre son ejemplos de ello.

ResponEliminaThe Legend of Sergius and Bacchus.
ResponEliminaI will not go in the constant debate over whether they were brothers, friends or lovers, nor on whether there actually were other literary or cristianismo.Se the other two are known as potential martyrs executed by the Emperor Maximian also. The only thing that is certain is that John Boswell, Yale University, points out the importance that his cult had during the Middle Ages the rite of environment adelphopoiesis.
The adelphopoiesis, fraternitas iurata or "ordo ad fratres faciendum" is a ceremony practiced by many Christian churches during the Middle Ages and early modern period in Europe to unite people of the same sex (usually men). Comes from the Greek Adelphopoiesis ἀδελφός (adelphos) "brother" and ποιῶ (poio) "I do", literally "make brothers and sisters."
John Boswell has pointed out dozens of original manuscripts, which have double the religious rituals performed during the Middle Ages by Catholic and Orthodox priests within the church to consecrate marriages between same sex, but it was a private agreement between two men in sacred enclosure.
To reach their conclusions Boswell visited all the great libraries of Europe, including the Vatican, where he found many of his manuscripts. As a result got 80 original manuscripts of gay wedding ceremonies, which was invoked as protectors of Saints Sergius and Bacchus.
Weddings in the Middle Ages not as a priest celebrating today, the two married people who would read the commitment of union and then the priest blessed or performed before the altar and proclaimed to the community. This painting clearly reflects this union, in this case sanctified by Jesus himself (center, above both).

Registration is often a sign of affection that had "Love united in life. The earth to one in death. "
The cult of Sergius and Bacchus is also reflected in the numerous temples that were held in his honor, Istanbul (now mosque, pictured above), Rome and Acre are examples.
