Abstract:
This article proposes that the notion of liturgical space, understood in conjunction with the
original Greek concept of space, is not only a quantitative, physical locality, but also a primary
qualitative possibility for existence, a meaningful womb, a neighbourhood for imagination
and a space for anticipation. Three consequences of this proposal are discussed, namely liturgy
as waiting on the elusive presence (presence of absence) of God, celebration as (metaphorical)
dance of hope, and the need for liturgical refiguring.
